@meganadelaideSwap your basic knit for a henley-style sweater, and instead of jeans, opt for comfortable and winter-ready faux-leather pants. You won't regret it.

@erin_jahnsThis shacket and skirt feel simple enough on their own, but together, they make for a trendy and polished outfit.

@fashionwithjazzA slip skirt or cutout sweater can sound intimidating until you realize that they serve the same purposes as their simpler counterparts—they just bring more zest to your outfit.

@michaela_beeI love black leather as much as (if not more than) the next person, but doesn't this look make you want to give tan a try? You'll be surprised by how versatile the color truly is.

@bijanrossThis soft set is so comfy you'll feel like you're in sweats while looking anything but lazy. Style it with everything from boots to sneakers.

@lefevrediarySick of your simple knits? Opt for this tank-and-cardigan combo. It serves the same purpose as a sweater but adds 10 times more intrigue.

@kristenmarienicholsBy this point in the season, you have to wear a jacket to leave the house anyway, so why shouldn't it be this one?

@annadominguezStuck on sticking to your jeans? This top is perfect for you. Simple in theory, its detailed silhouette makes it the most flattering, non-basic basic.

@laureneggGoing back to black leather, who can resist this jacket-and-skirt moment?

@nicoleakhtarzadGuess who! Yep, it's Mrs. Jeans-and-T-shirts herself modeling this smocked floral frock because it was simply too good to pass up.

@veneti.aChances are that blazers are already a big part of your wardrobe, but I implore you to take things two steps further and give the three-piece suit a try. The best part is that it takes all the guesswork out of what to pair with what. Just add shoes.

@streetstyletellerI own a million black sweaters, but I also own this green henley. And let me tell you—I have worn it more in the last two months than any of the other knits I own.

@whowhatwearcollectionBefore you pick up that LBD, consider this green floral stunner that looks amazing paired with anything from heels to socks and clogs.

@michaela_beeIt's December, which means that if you're not wearing velvet, you're doing something wrong. Okay, that was a little dramatic, but this outfit is really making a case for taking this top for a spin.
