It doesn't get more timeless than a trench coat. This chic silhouette never goes out of style and guarantees your outfit will look polished. Investing in a quality trench is one of the safest bets you can make.

There's something about a crisp button-down that just exudes confidence. Paired with jeans, skirts, or even sweats (hello, WFH!), this classic shirt looks polished, cool, and professional.

On Sabina Socol: Miu Miu bag; Slvrlake denim; BY FAR boots

I'm sure I don't have to convince you of the value of a great pair of jeans, so this one is a no brainer. Find a pair you love that fits you just right and you'll be set for years.

On Natasha Ndlovu: ACNE Studios bag; Alexander McQueen boots

If there's one pair of shoes I come back to every fall and winter, it's black ankle boots. They go with absolutely everything and never go out of style. So whether you prefer a combat, Chelsea, or heeled style, black ankle boots are a smart investment.

Blazers are one of those pieces that can be dressed up or down with ease and worn to just about everything. Work, date night, dinner with friends—any event on your calendar will welcome a chic blazer look.

Handbag trends are fickle and there's always a new It silhouette or brand making noise, but a few classic styles will always remain. A structured bag looks chic, effortless, and timeless regardless of what the current It bag might be.

On Ellie: Missoma necklaces

I've always had a penchant for gold jewelry, so I've noticed that year after year, it never goes away. Adding a dainty gold necklace or chic gold earring instantly elevates an outfit, and pairs well with every color. It's one of those investments you'll truly never regret.
