"The best winter sweaters make comfort and style attainable in one piece. A classic cable-knit sweater has always been a winter go-to for all my clients."

"Balance the bulk of your winter layers with a sleek pair of leather leggings. This piece will outlast and outperform any trend. I've had mine for over 10 years."

"A white button-down is the epitome of effortless style. It's versatile enough to layer under a trendy sweater-vest or classic pullover. This winter, make it the cornerstone of your next holiday ensemble."

"This stylish staple makes the ideal grab-and-go coat when temperatures drop. The simplicity of the silhouette makes it easy to layer. After a dark year, consider the style benefits of adding one in a fun neutral print or a fresh pop of color."

"Fashionable, ageless style starts with this piece. A leather jacket fits better the more you wear it, making it one of the best wardrobe investments you can make. It's certainly one of mine."

"Every outfit needs a great handbag. With all the things we juggle, your bag doesn't have to be one. A crossbody bag is lightweight and keeps our hands free."

"This traditionally sporty staple adds street style credibility to anything from a blazer to cashmere joggers. My favorite is a graphic hoodie. It makes the perfect alternative to a graphic tee in the winter."
