I often play personal stylist to some of the people in my inner circle. It kind of comes with the territory when you have a job as a fashion editor. On that note, one of my friends wanted to chat about winter fashion. Specifically, she wanted my thoughts on any chic items I've seen out in the market that could be worthy additions to her wardrobe. She tends to gravitate toward fashionable basics that can be styled easily with a range of her standby items. So I decided to send her an edit of six picks that could fall into that trendy-basics category.
The sampling (the first six pieces in the list below) is versatile, and they will be chic additions to her closet. There's everything from an of-the-moment sweater pick to jeans that could become a wear-all-the-time pair. Keep scrolling to check out the shopping list, complete with a smattering of other items I'm feeling at the moment.
