As a fashion editor, I’m often the go-to resource in my inner circle when someone needs shopping advice. Recently, one of my super-close friends asked what I’ve been loving that she could mix into her summer rotation. My mind immediately went to our namesake label, Who What Wear Collection. So I sent her my shopping list of forward yet highly wearable pieces that could totally become new summer staples. 

There were actually seven specific items that stood out to my friend. In case you too are looking for a bit of shopping inspiration, I’m sharing the pieces she approved of below. You’ll notice everything from a versatile LBD to an adorable printed top. I also rounded up even more standout finds I’m personally loving for more inspo.

There is a multitude of ways to best the spring outfit game, but why work harder when you can work smarter? Studying every single trend to emerge within the past few months—from the runways to budding social media–led micro-trends—is certainly one way to be sartorially successful this season, but if you're interested in shortcuts like us, you'll go straight to the seasonless staples. To be clear, trends still very much have a place in our closets, but it's all about gauging the right amount of trendy.

Thankfully, the assortment of items below nails that complex equation of trendy versus timeless for you. With pieces like upgraded denim to fresh feeling statement tops, these are the key to coming out of the season stylishly victorious. The best part? Nothing is over $70, so you can rest easy about shelling out big bucks. Keep scrolling below to check them out.

Regardless of which coast you're on, a few things remain the same once winter enters the equation—stocking up on cozy knits and jackets, mornings with a hot latte, etc.—but as time inches closer toward spring, that's where things begin to deviate. As an experienced New Yorker turned experienced Angeleno, I can definitively say that the staples I'm reaching for right now are significantly less severe than what I'd prioritize if I were making it through the residual cold of early spring in the city. Instead of heavy-duty coats, I lean toward mid-weight jackets, and instead of fleece-lined pants, a comfortable knit is now my go-to. The list can go on and on, but I'll spare you the details and jump right into it. Below, I've outlined every single staple I'm investing in this spring. From statement prints to saturated shades, these are foolproof, on-trend pieces to usher in a new season with.

Whenever a new season approaches, there are a variety of trends thrown onto the scene for the fashion set to choose from. This spring season is no different, from saturated shades to twee style, there are a whole lot of options. Luckily for you, my work hours are spent researching trends and the current market so I was easily able to narrow down my list and pick out the five trends that stand out to me the most. Not only did I do that, but I also shopped each trend out from our Who What Wear x Target collection, so won't have to break the bank on your seasonal wardrobe refresh.

Keep scrolling for the five trends I'm actually going to be wearing this spring, editor-approved shoppable picks, and outfit ideas to give you so much-needed inspiration.

1. Quilted Jackets

There are still some chilly days during the spring season, and quilted jackets will be my outerwear of choice. Opt for one in a fun color so it'll be easy to pair with basics and still stand out.

2. Cargo Pants

I don't think I'd go full-on Kim Possible with cargo pants, but I think there is a way to style them in a chic way for spring. I love how the trend adds a relaxed but cool touch to any look.

3. Saturated Shades

I'll take all the bright colors, please. From Kelly green to bubblegum Pink, saturated shades will be my top pick among the S/S 22 trend list.

4. Twee-Style Tops

While I was never one for twee-style pieces when the trend first began, I think I'm ready to incorporate some element of the trend with its revival.

5. Maxi Hemlines

Maxi hemlines were seen all over the spring and even fall 2022 runways, and as a modest dresser, I'm thoroughly happy.

Target is the home of a lot of magical things you may not need but feel like you do. Whether it's another pair of pajamas, that kind of sparkling water you can only find at Target, or even a new vase for your living room, we don't judge. Why? Target also happens to house our affordable line of clothing, and we just so happened to release a variety of pieces you might want to add to your shopping list. The only difference is that you kinda need these. (Okay, maybe not need, but I'll let you scroll and be the judge of that.)

Below, I've relayed 17 pieces from our latest drop at Target that I think you should see. The best part? They all fall under the $70 price point. Keep scrolling to shop.

Next: 8 Trends the NYC Fashion Set Will Be Wearing Come Spring

Ahh, spring cleaning. It's a phrase that is often used outside of its literal context. I just did a quick google search and it appears to be that this age-old saying has historic roots within multiple cultures. Well, hundreds of years ago they knew what was up. The concept of doing a deep cleanout come springtime just so happens to be one of my personal favorite personal traditions. Sending off boxes of coats to my parent's basement knowing that the temperatures won't drop low enough where we'll be needing them for many months is the greatest feeling. And so is introducing the cute spring pieces I've been wanting to wear for so long.

This year's spring cleaning is going to be a bit trend-driven. Certain items that I wore last year had their moment but are a bit overdue for a trip to my local clothing drop-off spot and I'm ready to adopt more timeless pieces that can be worn for so many different occasions. And like any wardrobe haul, I've made this one budget-friendly with the latest Who What Wear x Target drop that feels like a peek into spring.

Ditching: Revealing Tank Tops

Invest In: Breezy Blouses

The products that always sell out fast from Who What Wear x Target are always cute tops. I mean, you can never have enough of them. I've had my share of revealing tank tops and this spring I'm wearing more demure tops that have unique features like peplum, cotton poplin, cute prints, and puff sleeves.

Shop:

Ditching: Super-Short Hemlines

Invest In: Midi Dresses

Another aspect of spring that I'm going to shy away from this year is the popular notion of adopting very short hemlines as soon as the temperature hits 60 degrees. I can get overly excited and move too fast too soon and the next thing you know I'm already in mini skirts. This year, I'll ease into my skirts and dresses, holding off on the tights, by choosing midi hemlines. How chic.

Shop:

Ditching: Skinny Jeans

Invest In: Wide-Leg Leather Pants

I used to run for a pair of cropped skinny jeans in warmer weather but I've learned my lesson. A wide-leg or flared pant is much chicer. They enhance the waistline and make the legs look miles long. Stunning.

Shop:

Toss: Graphic Tees

Invest In: Striped Knits

You guys know I love a good graphic T-shirt, but these days, striped shirts and sweaters are feeling much more elevated for me. It gives off the French-girl vibe that we are all trying to attain and is forever timeless. Bon apétit. 

Shop:

Toss: Skintight Tops

Invest In: Buttons Everywhere

Oh, how much I used to love the skintight top—especially in college. I still love a form-fitting moment but nothing too tight, please. Currently, I'm into the buttoned collar moment that is happening all over knitwear right now. You have the option to button all the way up or leave it open halfway to show some skin. I like to play around with both.

Up Next: I Just Finished Selecting My Styling Staples for the Year—Get Your Carts Ready

I know what you're thinking. We're a few days into February, and you only just finalized gathering your style staples for the year? Honestly, I'm judging myself too, but good things take time, and I had a few ideas cooking in the oven longer than expected. As style staples should traditionally be, my finds are straightforward and can be worn in numerous ways. My excitement about the experimentation I plan to do with them is quite contagious, and lately, I haven't been able to shut up about it when catching up with friends. I want to spread that energy to you by showcasing some pieces I'm excited to announce are so good for 2022.

They all put a bit of a twist on the classics, which is something I always look for in my clothing. Since I was doing quite the raging haul this past January, I was really looking for pieces that could fit into a reasonable budget, so I happily turned to the Who What Wear x Target collection. There, I found really great wardrobe staples, all under $70, that I'm obsessed with. I'm feeling like a winner today, and you can too with a quick look at the below selects.

1. Leather Separates

We've reached a point where every day is a good day to wear leather. It doesn't take much effort to feel dressed up when you have a piece like this.

2. Cozy Dresses

Who says wearing a dress needs to be uncomfortable. Cozy dresses have officially won me over as a must-have after I've adopted quite a few into my closet.

3. Updated Trousers

As a society, we spent years wearing nothing but jeans and have fully made the transition to leather pants. What's next, might you ask? Updated trousers.

4. Statement Outerwear

I always encourage my friends to buy into fun outerwear. If you live in a cold climate, often the only thing someone sees on you is your coat. So pick a good one.

And a few more affordable finds I'm diving into:

Speaking of affordable fashion, here are 38 Under-$100 H&M Finds That Made Me Say "Aha, You're Coming Home With Me."

I'm not sure what it is right now, but my shopping fixation has been on another level as of late. Maybe it's from the pure excitement of 2022's incoming trends, or the influx of actually relatable celebrity street style, but currently, my web browser has over 60 tabs open—with 95% of them being links to items I actually want to buy. So with a lot of clothes and accessories on the brain, I thought I'd share the pieces that are first place on my shopping list. 

Welcome to the buys I'm making a priority at the beginning of 2022: they include a smorgasbord of fun (and most importantly warm!) sweaters, versatile knit dresses, and expensive-looking faux-leather pieces. Because nothing beats the feeling of saving a few bucks, I'm shopping directly from our very own Who What Wear collection at Target. Everything below is affordable and prime for the taking. Happy shopping!

Next: My Shopping Appetite Has Been More Voracious Than Usual—Take a Look at My Saves

Only weeks into January, I'm already pounding spirulina, eating more vegetables, cooking more at home, and reorganizing my apartment. The only thing left to tackle: my hectic closet. Since moving to L.A. from Brooklyn, I've been blessed with a walk-in closet, but the influx of room has ushered in a new problem of having way too many clothes. I've procrastinated a closet clean-out for months, but the zest of January has me on a tidying high.

First thing's first: editing out all of the pieces I'm either over or haven't touched in months. This includes trends way past their prime, pieces that are completely impractical for the L.A. weather and pieces that no longer do it for me. But I'm not just putting things on the backburner—I plan on replacing them with affordable staples that will get a ton of wear. For a full report of the pieces on the chopping block, you'll want to keep scrolling. Hopefully this gives you the push you need to get yourself together.

Phasing Out: Puffer CoatsPhasing In: Cloud Coats

Full disclosure: My puffer coats are going in the donation bin anytime soon (it's a classic!), but I'm definitely putting them at the back of my closet in favor of cloud coats. Technically a quilted coat, cloud coats are a little less bulky than their puffer counterparts, which means also way easier to layer. As the ice starts to melt, it's a piece that can easily transition into the spring.

Phasing Out: SweatsuitsPhasing In: Elevated Matching Sets

It's a weird time right now: Your couch is the office, and going to the office isn't really a regular part of my schedule anymore. (Except for those handfuls of work appointments sprinkled in between.) It's a lot. Matching sets easily oscillate between any and all of these occasions, especially in ways a sweatsuit can't. Another plus? They're equally comfy.

Phasing Out: Basic Separates

Phasing In: Quirky Staples

Minimalism will always have a place in my heart, but I'm putting simple pieces away for more trendy basics. I'm talking staples with a little detail to catch the eye like cool buttons, sweet ruffles, or a split hem.

Phasing Out: Short Dresses

Phasing In: Longer Lengths

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Get ready for the maxi-length era. As a person who's always favored longer lengths, I'm fully embracing the trend with skirts and dresses in longer lengths. I'll be stocking up on dresses especially, as it's a cold-weather staple in the dead of winter.

Phasing Out: Understated Prints

Phasing In: Bold Patterns

I'm welcoming a new phase of anti-wallflower dressing with a load of bold prints and patterns. From pigmented hues to vivid florals, it's time to be seen in 2022.

While some people are already talking about spring fashion, I walked outside for coffee today and my fingers almost went numb, so I'm sticking to discussing winter. Specifically, my winter staples. From extra-warm puffer jackets to leather separates, I rely on a few key pieces when the weather drops. I've gotten better at dressing for the freezing temps, but it didn't always start out that way. If you're in the same boat as I was, the pieces below will help you start perfecting your winter wardrobe.

I've been collecting my winter staples for years, but luckily for you our Who What Wear x Target collection has a variety of picks for you to choose from and shop now. If you're looking to upgrade your wardrobe this winter, look no further. Keep scrolling to check out my favorite winter pieces and how to shop them for under $70. 

1. Easy Knitwear

When you're in a rush to get dressed, an sweater that's not only cozy but will pair with anything is what you'll be looking for.

2. Puffer Jackets

I used to be embarrassed by puffer jackets when I was younger, and now it's my favorite part about winter. If I could talk to my younger self, I'd tell her to get a puffer and enjoy that extra warmth. 

3. Leather Separates

When the weather starts to drop, my leather pieces get a lot of love. Blazers, pants, jackets—all of it makes any outfit instantly chic.

4. Faux Fur

If it's fuzzy, I want it. In the winter all I want to do is cover myself with a blanket, and this is the closest thing that's also wearable.

5. Knit Dresses

When it comes to styling knit dresses, the options are endless. Take styling cues from Eliza and pair your dress with your favorite coat and tall boots.

6. Loungewear

It wouldn't be a story written by me if I didn't include loungewear. You'll feel like you're in pajamas but still look put together. It's a win-win situation.

We're still only a few weeks into 2022, and I want to encourage you to remain strong and focused on your goals. If one of your New Year's resolutions was related to personal finance, don't worry—you are not alone. I'm planning to get more organized in crafting a successful personal budget, and while I've gotten used to my monthly wardrobe hauls, I'm being a lot more conscientious with my spending. Lucky for me, I'm a fashion editor, meaning I know where to find an affordable version of every item that catches my eye. And I'm ready to share the news with you.

A lot of my needs are being met lately by the newness from Who What Wear x Target. The latest drop was conceptualized by our team of editors and staff members who have been following the trends so well. I've had my eye on quilted puffers for some time now, and the one the collection delivered is quite the hit. While trends are fun, truly budget-friendly purchases are timeless and seasonless. There is plenty of that among the under-$70 collection, so keep scrolling, as I guarantee you'll hit the jackpot.

This coat is first up on my list of things that look pricey but are really affordable. So many of my co-workers have been raving about how stylish the lightweight-quilted-puffer trend is, and it's been brought to life in this pretty pink.

Two-tone pieces are yet another trend that is truly having its moment this season, so naturally, I'm drawn to this affordable take on it. Tailoring always looks expensive.

I've been thinking of having a pajama party with all of my besties, and ordering this one outfit just might be the convincing factor. I'm talking about silk everything.

Hello, Aspen. I've been wanting to take a trip to some sort of winter wonderland but decided to stay home, at least for this month. In the meantime, I'll be treating my home like it's a ski resort and prancing around in this knit.

When I first stumbled across this jacket, I thought it was from one of my favorite designer fashion houses. Well, think again. This sherpa jacket is everything.

If you haven't heard, I have a thing for loose trousers. My heart also belongs to leather pants right now, so finding a two-in-one deal is definitely what I need.

Up Next: These 6 Winter Aesthetics Are About to Break the Internet

Twenty twenty-two has arrived, and although the common talk around the New Year is making changes and experimenting, I'm here to talk about wardrobe staples. Talking about new trends is fun too, but what would trendy pieces be without the staples to hold down the fort? Our Who What Wear collection at Target consists of the perfect combination of both—seasonal trends and staples you'll wear for seasons to come. The focus this time is on the latter because we have plenty in our latest drops that you'll want to take a look at—dresses that have endless styling options, coats that'll keep you warm all season long, and much more. 

Keep scrolling for the five basics you should prioritize for the New Year along with some outfit inspiration featuring the top picks from the latest for Who What Wear x Target. 

Easy Dresses

Dresses with simple and sleek design are easy to style to whatever aesthetic you're going for.

Chunky Sweaters

Snow has started hitting here in NYC, so bring on the chunky sweaters galore.

Statement Coats

Contrary to popular belief, statement coats can act as staples, too. No matter what you’re wearing, just layer your favorite piece of outerwear on top, and you've got yourself a look. 

Matching Sets

Matching sets get more popular every year, and I'm more than happy about it. When all you want to do is feel put together without the extra effort, they always make the top choice.

Straight-Leg Trousers

If there's anything I learned in 2021, it's that I need to add more tailored pieces to my wardrobe. They're an easy way to elevate some of my casual items, and as an adult, you never know when you need to pull out a "professional" look.

That's right—we're over it. None of us are strangers to those pieces in our closets that used to get daily wear but have since fizzled out. Today is the day we finally say goodbye. Whether or not your New Year's resolutions included a closet clean-out, we can all benefit from one. Especially in winter, our closets are bursting at the seams, so we're right there with you. When so many great budget-friendly finds are around, it's easy to replace yesterday's favorites with new pieces that you'll love and keep in your closet rotation for many years to come.

If you're lost at where to begin, don't worry. We've been there, and the WWW editors present to you a few great places to start. Whether it's finally saying goodbye to logomania or getting rid of that sweater that's seen way too many days, the perfect replacement awaits you below.

Skipping: Logo Prints

Adopting: Art-Inspired Prints

"While one of the most viral print trends of the season thus far is shaping up to be logo-adorned pieces, for my 2022 wardrobe, I'm only going to invest in prints that don't feel too trendy. Something like this tie-dye, art-inspired print is more up my alley, as it's such a chic way to inject print into my wardrobe and is way easier to style. What I love about this dress, besides the fact that it looks like an expensive painting, is that it's so cozy. I thew on a belt to tighten it a bit and added my fun Kat Maconie statement boots, but I have a feeling I'm going to be finding so many ways to style this dress long into the spring."

Skipping: Sherpa Jackets

Adopting: Quilted Jackets

"As much as I saw the style on other fashion people, I didn't buy any sherpa outerwear this year. As an L.A. resident, I just found that I really just don't need that heavy of a fabric!

"Now, don't get it twisted—L.A. does get semi-cold, and layers are definitely necessary. I've been opting for the quilted jackets that have been bubbling up because they're usually more lightweight and make your outfit feel so on-trend with barely any effort. And this one is absolute perfection. The puffer material, the length, the color… It doesn't get better than this!" 

Skipping: Overly Poofy Dresses

Adopting: Sleek Silhouettes

"This year, I'm steering clear of the poofy dresses that once took up 90% of the space on my Instagram collections page. Instead, I'm investing in ribbed-knit dresses that are both comfortable and sophisticated. Bonus points if they feature some standout details, like a big cutout or a built-in belt."

Skipping: Anything Boring

Adopting: Surprisingly, Peplum

"I really thought that peplum was the trend we were never coming back to, but the 2022 update on the cringey 2000s trend is actually more than redeemable. A subtle extra pop at the bottom of a dress or top can add an extra touch of femininity and character to any piece."

We have a few more trends worth skipping up our sleeve, so read on:

Skipping: Pilling Sweaters (Just toss them!)

Adopting: Après-Ski Anything

You are likely guilty of holding onto that favorite sweater for just a little bit too long. We all do it. If your collection is in need of a revamp,��why not try tapping into the classic aesthetic of a fabulous ski trip? It is winter after all. If you're in a warmer climate, it's the perfect way to make your wardrobe feel more seasonal. 

Skipping: Overworn Jeans

Adopting: Leather Pants

The favorite jeans-and-a-classic-sweater look has been on repeat, and it's good. But when you naturally tire of it, just switch into leather pants. This wide-leg pair has a jogger waistband, so you'll be even more comfortable than you are in those Levi's.

Skipping: Plain White Tees (Why not have more fun?)

Adopting: Polos

Don't get us wrong. We love our classic tees. But choosing a top that has a little more to offer really takes a look to the next level. This ribbed polo simply does it for us.

Skipping: Skintight Pants

Adopting: Wide-leg, Baggy Trousers

This is a "no skinny-jean shaming" zone, so we'll try and hold it in! But guys, wide-leg pants are just so much better. Just take one look at how effortlessly chic these pants are styled for a winter's day spent indoors. Sign us up.

Skipping: Sleeping in a College T-Shirt

Adopting: Elevated Lounge-Worthy Sets

If you've ever slept in a silk matching set one night and then that raggedy old T-shirt on another, we're sure you can relate to this statement we're about to make. It can seriously make all the difference about how you feel when you wake up and start moving about. That first cup of coffee is transformed. It's so good that we're also dressing this set up for going out and about.

Twenty twenty-one is coming to an end, and with that, I'm starting to look at the trends of this year and which I'm going to take with me into the next. From basics with unique touches to leather separates, there's not a whole lot I'm leaving behind. If you're on the opposite end and are thinking of what trends you're looking to invest in in the new year, our Who What Wear collection at Target has got you covered. Not only is everything at an under-$75 price point, but they also fall under the trend categories I think are worth bringing into the new year. WWW's favorite influencers have even styled the latest pieces, so you'll even have style inspiration to follow ahead. 

Keep scrolling for the trends I'm bringing with me into 2022 and picks from our Who What Wear line at Target for you to shop. 

Elevated Basics

Basics don't have to be boring—just look at the pieces below. They're your average staples with just a little twist like a cutout or ruffled neck.

Statement Jackets

I know its rough when jackets cover a cute 'fit, but if you have a statement jacket you don't need to be worrying about that when you have a fun outerwear option.

Leather Separates

I've seen people talk about leather separates being a fleeting trend, but I disagree. It's a trend that's going to be around for a while.

Creative Knits

When sweaters have a unique touch to it (like the sleeve detail above), it makes it a lot easier to style. All you need to add is a pair of jeans and you're good to go.

Comfy Sets

Comfy sets aren't just basic sweatshirt and sweatpants anymore. Think unique color ways and stylish silhouettes like the options below.

You'd be right to assume that winter brings a lot less opportunity to have fun with your outfits, but as a fashion editor, I can never completely resign myself to boring basics and drab cold-weather gear. Interesting accessories are one way to liven things up, but I'm looking to make a few more dramatic changes. Enter the five pieces I'm calling my transformational capsule to add some much-needed variety to my collection of winter clothes.

Ultimately, they include staples and trends that are a bit more exciting, versatile, and, most of all, affordable. I spend nearly every waking hour scanning for clothes online, but for this, I really didn't need to look far. I found everything I needed within Target's new drop of winter pieces. Click ahead to discover everything I'm adding to give my closet a boost this season.

Cool Coats

Since amping up my winter clothes is the goal, it made complete sense to start with my coats. As much as I love a classic wool topper, it's just not as commanding as a cool puffer or printed coat. The assortment of outerwear below is basically guaranteed to garner compliments.

Polished Pants

Elevated trousers have been on my winter wish list, but it's taken a while to find the right pair. Sharp trousers do so much to make your outfit look put-together with minimal effort. They really are the ultimate sartorial shortcut. All of the pants below are great, and the high-rise pair, in particular, is a fashion-girl favorite.

Statement Sweaters

I'm actively saying no to regular sweaters as of now—statement sweaters are all I can think about. What makes a sweater a part of the latter? Details like big buttons, eye-catching cutouts, and vivid patterns.

Faux Leather

Faux leather is pretty much a given during this time of year, but admittedly, my own collection of winter clothes could use more sleek leather pieces to amp things up. I especially love this two-piece matching set and plan on buying it in both colors for a quick special-event 'fit.

Maxi Dresses

I've long been crushing on maxi dresses, and in the midst of chilly days, they're more than cute. They're also functional. The longer length exudes more drama than a midi dress, and it's super easy to dress it up with a pair of flashy boots.

There's never a better time for a refreshing wardrobe haul than December. I, for one, am stockpiling on the items that I feel like I can't enter the new year without. While every store to my liking is hosting holiday hurrahs and happy gatherings to celebrate the end of the year, I'm piling up my cart and checking it twice to make sure I have everything I need for January which is the month that I plan to spend on getting my life together and fine-tuning my budget. That being said, affordability is key right now with all of the holiday gifts that I have on my list. 

I asked a few of my co-workers what their budget-friendly finds have been as of late and since quite a few of them mentioned the Who What Wear x Target collection, I decided we were overdue for a little recap of our favorite editors picks and so I got to work on stalking their IGs for the stoppable looks they've recently worn that included our brand. 

This final drop of the year was made for the holiday season. Featuring universally flattering jewel tones, shearling jackets, and holiday-ready matching sets, our incredibly talented designers definitely saved the best for last. I'm excited to present to you the items that our editors have been gushing over that I might need to stock up on myself, all under $50, of course. Keep scrolling to read all about it.

"My work-from-home uniform is comprised of dresses I can throw on that are polished and cozy. So when I spotted this Who What Wear Collection x Target number, I had to get my hands on it. First off, you will not find a more cozy sweater dress—it's the perfect fit and its ribbed fabric feels like a hug without being too tight. I also am obsessed with the eggplant hue, it's like the perfect pop of color for winter. I find myself reaching towards this dress when I need to throw on something quick but don't want to feel disheveled. It's a peak WFH dress."

"This cozy jacket is the definition of darling. I love the faux-leather piping, the tortoise buttons, and the puff sleeves. I wore mine with a floral turtleneck dress, but it would go just as easily with jeans and a tee."

"I can't even describe in words how soft this fleece pullover is. It's truly cloud-like. The polka-dot print is fun without being too precious and it looks perfect with high-waisted jeans. I'll be shocked if this doesn't sell out."

"I'm not sure how I ever wore jeans as often as I did, because now that I work from home, the thought of having to wear them makes me cringe. But just because I'm not commuting to an office doesn't mean I don't want to get dressed. (In fact, I'm way more productive when I'm wearing something cute!) I just want pieces that are as comfortable as sweatpants, just more elevated. Lucky for me, this little number checks both those boxes. Aside from being super comfy (the fabric is silky smooth), the color is everything: It's rich, elegant, and very on-trend for the season."  

"The pattern on this sweater makes it a little bit more fun and unique, but it's not too busy. And the slightly puffy sleeves are a nice statement-making detail. Plus, it's so warm and cozy. I wore this to an outdoor event with a light jacket and I wasn't freezing at all. I paired it here with a suede skirt, but I'd also wear it with jeans for a more relaxed look."

"I can already see myself wearing this cardigan on repeat throughout the winter. I love how the thick cable knit stitch and slightly voluminous sleeves give it a bit of a vintage look. I styled mine as buttoned up with jeans and my favorite Ugg mules here, but it would also be easy to wear it open as a layering piece."

Pardon me, but from here until January, I will be stressing over the plethora of holiday party invites that have suddenly bombarded my inbox. Gathering together with your friends, family, and co-workers over spiced drinks and sugary desserts is the easy part, unfortunately figuring out what to wear for the occasion is not. And if you're like me, you'll want to be especially extra and whip out a new outfit each time. Every holiday season I used to feel the need to shell out big bucks for expensive sequinned gowns and designer tops I'd usually never wear again, but this year, I decided to streamline my approach.

This season not only am I keeping myself to a strict budget, but I also plan on investing in pieces that I can still get wear out of, even after the party is over. It didn't take long for me to find the solution: our very own in-house collection with Target, which specializes in affordable, trendy statement items that get a lot of bang for your buck. After a quick browse, I assembled five easy special looks that cover everything from a fancy soiree to lowkey home hangouts. For everyone else in the same boat right about now—keep scrolling.

The Leather Two-Piece

The easiest way to look expensive and the easiest approach for a party look that will blow everyone away? Faux leather, which is on my shortlist of occasion outfits to wear this season. This coordinating set comes in two colors—a chocolate brown and a sleek black—so buy both and kill two birds with one stone. I plan on styling this with dangly diamante earrings and pointed-toe stilettos for a fashion girl vibe.

Shop the look:

The Leather Mini

When I'm looking to keep things simple, I'm all for a dress. With the bulk of your outfit done, the only thing to ponder over now is the accessories. For this, I'd go for snakeskin over-the-knee boots and hoops.

Shop the look:

Cozy Textures

So the dress code isn't cocktail, but not completely casual? Here's your open invitation to fully embrace coziness. The trick to being cozy without looking sloppy is to go for laid-back silhouettes in rich textures and thick materials. These velvet pants hit all those points and for less than $30. I can either wear it with a soft cable knit sweater for a family gathering or with the coordinating velvet top for a company holiday party.

Shop the look:

Winter Whites

It's not an understatement to say that an outfit of winter whites hit different. There's just an air of sophistication that pervades when you manage to keep your outfit crisp (and unstained) throughout the night. For under $60, I love this subtle approach to a festive party look. The best part is I can easily repurpose the top and pants for future winter ensembles.

Optional:

The Knit Dress

I've owned many expensive knit dresses, and this one rivals them all in terms of style points. It comes in so many colors, I've been thinking about buying those too as a quick outfit option when time is of the essence. This deep burgundy feels wonderfully on point for the holidays, especially with shiny gold accessories.

We're not quite deep into winter just yet, it's still fall after all. But since your favorite retailers are already putting out their holiday decor and the weather is continuing to drop, why not plan for some cold weather looks? Think even more leather, thick-knits, and statement coats galore. We know it's tricky to stay warm and have your outfit meet your expectations but trust us, it's possible. And on a budget, too. Lucky for you, we just dropped a variety of cozy (and stylish) pieces at Target, and they all happen to come at a $30-$60 price point. Below, you'll not only be able to shop our favorite Who What Wear x Target pieces but also be inspired by our favorite influencers styling them for any occasion.

How much leather is too much leather? The limit does not exist. In the colder temperatures, a matching leather set with a cozy sweater underneath is a sure way to keep warm.

If you're planning a chill and comfortable holiday at home, our wide leg trousers will be the perfect option, espcially paired with a turtleneck.

Facing Florida or California winters? That's where a sweater, leather skirt, and sandal combo makes sense.

This is why a leather set is a good Fall/Winter purchase, you can mix and match.

Everyone needs a good tailored coat, but a color-block coat is one that will sure make a statement. Follow in the steps of our editor in chief and pair with a long dress and boots.

Puffer season is among us, and while everyone already has a basic black puffer, a printed one could add some fun to the dreary winter days.

While we would consider adding a coat to this look as the weather drops, we couldn't help but include this sleek ensemble.

Next, We're Kind of Over These 5 Winter Trends But Are Loving These 5

While everyone on my timeline was seemingly living their best life picking apples and partaking in other cold-weather festivities this weekend, I was nestled on my couch doing what I do best: digital window-shopping. Even with the blitz of Black Friday a stone's throw away, I can't seem to resist the urge to click through every online store known to man. My scroll-through game is strong, so I managed to browse hundreds of pages in just one lazy afternoon. During my Sunday browsing session, I stumbled upon a selection of new arrivals that particularly boosted my excitement. 

A flood of new styles from Who What Wear's Target collection recently dropped, and it's no exaggeration when I say they're good. It includes everything from fancy-looking faux leather to sumptuous, party-ready velvet as well as a slew of versatile basics (albeit with a twist). Since most pieces sit nicely under the $40 mark, the guilt of buying new clothes only a week out from the biggest sale event of the year feels a little less pungent. To check out all the items that made it to my basket, keep scrolling. 

Wearing baggy trousers is my definition of a good time. They just instantly make you feel chic, making getting dressed feel that much easier. Good thing I discovered this relatively cheap pair that's available in two colorways.

This time of year is when leather really shines, so obviously, it's been the focus of my recent window-shopping. The button-down and pants featured here look so deceptively expensive but are affordable enough that I don't need to settle for just bookmarking. I can actually buy them.

Oh, hey—it's us, your favorite Who What Wear editors. We're back again to showcase our styling capabilities and highlight the newest pieces from our namesake clothing line. If you're familiar with this series of editor outfits, then just keep scrolling to fill up on outfit inspiration and affordable shopping picks. But if you happen to be new here, then let us fill you in. 

As a refresher, we drop new pieces for our Who What Wear line each month, and today, our editors are highlighting the covetable faux-leather pieces, easygoing sweaters, and holiday-ready dresses from the November collection. Even though no piece rings up for more than $40, the cool looks our editors put together are making these affordable buys look far pricier. Ahead, see how we each wear our picks, and then shop our favorites if you're so inspired.

"I normally gravitate toward knit dresses during colder months, but I couldn't help myself—this faux-leather one is too good. I love the cropped sleeve length, and the stitching detail around the neckline adds a really chic touch. I've been pairing it with just about any boot style, from these knee-high rain boots to shorter Chelsea styles."

It's officially leather season, and you can bet I'll be wearing this faux-leather shirt on repeat. It's has a boxy fit that makes it perfect for layering as a shirt-jacket, as I styled it here, but the fabric is surprisingly light, so I also want to try it buttoned up as a traditional shirt.

Here's a closer look at the details like these voluminous sleeves that make it.

"Well, it's official. My jeans rotation now has nothing on my trouser rotation. These pants are it. They're the perfect length, hit at just the right spot on my waist, and are just plain chic. I'm already planning to wear them with everything from cropped sweaters to blazers."

"If you read WWW often, you know we're all about tailored trousers right now. These aren't too loose but aren't too fitted. It's a sweet middle ground. Not to mention the material isn't itchy or scratchy at all, making it perfect for workwear and casual wear."

"With preppy fashion on the rise, I can't get enough of cable-knit sweaters this fall. I've been styling mine tied around my shoulders with ribbed tanks, baggy jeans, and sneakers."

"This sumptuous velvet dress is so perfect for the holiday season. It's extremely comfortable and not formfitting, so it'll be easy to wear for long nights. It's made with crushed velvet and comes with slightly puffed sleeves, which takes a classic LBD to the next level. Have fun styling this one with statement accessories."

"Don't get me wrong—I love a black sweater (or 10) in fall and winter, but when I put this on, I felt instantly less boring without overdoing anything."

Consider it a by-product of being a fashion editor, but over the years, I've developed a pretty good sense of whether something will sell out. If you're not hip to figuring it out yet, there are a few ways I can usually tell. Sometimes, the brand is so incredibly in demand that everything sells like hotcakes, or sometimes, the pieces are so good for the price that everyone can't stop talking about them. The next crop of finds I predict won't be on the shelf for long belongs to none other than our in-house collection from Target.

I've been able to try on a number of pieces from the latest fall drop, and trust me—there's serious sellout potential. For one, the knits are sumptuous and warm. It's to the point that I never want to take them off, even while doing tasks around the house. The outerwear and faux-leather pieces also look deceptively expensive, and they've replaced a few of my designer versions as my everyday pieces. Basically, this drop has all the makings of a collection bound to sell out, so I thought I'd share the secret before it's gone. Oh, and everything below is under $70. Keep scrolling to get a head start before everyone else.

It's no secret that we love reporting on all the latest trends in the fashion scene. Whether it's the '90s comebacks or the controversial ones straight off the runway, there's always something on the rise. But a favorite subject of ours is wardrobe staples. We don't put the attention on them that they deserve, especially since they're the most-worn pieces in our closets. Staples can mean something different for everyone, but we've pinpointed five for fall that we think many of you can agree on and even shopped them out from our Who What Wear line at Target.

Below, you'll find 25 standout options from our latest drop, all at a $70-and-under price point. Of course, we also had to include some fall outfit inspiration to show how our favorite fashion insiders styled the pieces. 

1. Comfy Midi Dresses

Summer is usually known for its dresses, but we think fall dresses deserve just as much attention. They often include more muted color palettes, which can be easier to style.

2. Faux-Leather Items

We'd be lying if we didn't say that a large part of our excitement for fall is getting to wear leather again. It just looks so luxe and is an instant way to look polished.

3. Statement Outerwear

Don't believe anyone who says statement outerwear isn't versatile. Simple coats have their place, of course, but with a fun jacket or coat, all you need to do is layer it over a minimal outfit, and you're good to go.

4. Roomy Knits

It's finally sweater weather! Opt for roomier knits because the oversize fit not only looks stylish, but it'll also feel like you're wearing a blanket.

5. Elevated Loungewear

When the weather drops, sweatpants come out. That doesn't mean you can't find a more stylish pair that's suitable for outside your bedroom.

As much as flashy, trendy items are quick to grab my attention, it's the basics that do the actual heavy lifting in my closet. Last summer, my daily uniform consisted of mostly simple white tank tops and easy oversize button-downs, so in that same vein, I'm putting all the focus on basics again for my cool-weather wardrobe. I've waded through my fair share of pricey, luxurious pieces to basics on the penny-pinching cheap end, but isn't it rewarding when you can find a happy medium? 

Enter Who What Wear's latest fall offering at Target. Of course, there are trend-forward pieces included, such as faux-leather dresses and matching sets, but the collection is also a jackpot for streamlined basics that only look expensive. Priced at under $40, they're on the more affordable side but at the same time won't disintegrate after one wash cycle. So yes, that means I'm stocking up on all the sweaters and blazers right now. Below, I've rounded up my favorite luxe-looking (and affordable) essentials to keep your assortment of fall basics fresh. Keep scrolling to see them all.

Oh, fall. In my personal opinion, it's the best time of the year for fashion. The color palettes, the plethora of knits and leather… What's there not to love? Aside from all the trends that will be hitting the market these next few weeks, it's the basics I have my eye on. I've been prioritizing what makes up the foundation of my closet recently, and doing so has made putting together outfits a lot easier. Thanks to our latest drop of Who What Wear x Target, I've been able to try out staple fall pieces that I've been waiting to recommend upon their release.

Below, you'll find 25 fall basics that all happen to fall under the $70 price point. Knit dresses, leather trousers, corduroy pants—there's so much in this mix you're going to want to get your hands on. My fellow editors have already tried many of the below pieces out and have given their stamp of approval, so you know they're good.

Next, Mark My Words: These Are the 5 Most Wearable Trends for Fall

While gearing up for the colder weather, my mind has been preoccupied with trying to figure out which pieces to invest in first. We've seen so many bubble up in the last few months alone (artful prints, shearling backs, and chunky cropped sweaters to name a few), making it even harder to choose a starting point. With trends abound this fall, I figured I'd start with the most "wearable" ones. 

Of course, what's considered wearable varies from person to person and from style to style, but for all intents and purposes, my definition includes trends that anyone can pull off with minimal effort. That means you could buy any one of them right now and wouldn't have to reconfigure your whole closet to make it work. For me, it's all about pieces that are elevated statements on their own but have a quiet yet interesting edge. From ribbed-knit separates to faux-leather wonders, I'm counting down the five trends I'm adding to my fall wardrobe first. Keep reading to see which made the cut.

Faux Leather

I'm like a moth to a flame when it comes to faux leather, especially when it starts to get cold. It really has a tendency to make the person wearing it look instantly put-together, so I'm stocking up something serious. Shamefully, I've spent a small fortune on faux-leather pieces in the past, but lucky for my wallet, I've stumbled upon a gold mine of affordable pieces, from dresses to polished trousers.

Gussied-Up Collars

Wearing sweaters nonstop in the fall can feel about as thrilling as watching water boil, so I always like to look for pieces with standout details: Here's where cool collars come in. They're not just life-changing on a sweater. An elaborate collar can turn around a boring button-down and make it feel fresh, too.

Shop cool collars:

Cropped Cardigans

Cardigans are going short this season, and I'm in love. I find that the higher proportions are way easier to carry and accentuate a wider variety of body types. They also feel more intentional stylistically, and even with jeans or basic trousers, they make your outfit read as more of a "lewk." 

Shop cropped cardigans:

All Ribbed Everything

A shortcut to looking luxurious this season is to embrace all things ribbed. (That also extends to corduroy!) Right now, I'm looking for sweaters, pants, dresses, and skirts with some sort of ribbed detail for days when I can't be bothered to try to squeak out a decent outfit. It's really so effortless and, thus, super wearable.
