A Fringed Cardigan For the Coziest Après-Ski

When I see fringe, it’s always an instant yes, and this oversize, open-front cardigan has the cutest fringe accents along the cowl-neck collar and elbow. The drop shoulder adds to the laid-back vibe, and the wool blend is perfect for warming up by the fire. – Kate Miller, Deputy Editor

The Slip-On Satin Pants You’ll Live In

These liquid satin mid-rise pants are a veritable wardrobe workhorse.

I want them in every color, including the chic seasonal venom print. – Kate Miller, Deputy Editor

A Day-To-Night Shoulder Bag From A Heritage Brand

Heritage brand Coach designed this bag in what I consider to be the ideal size; at 10-inches long, it’s got room for daily essentials like my phone, wallet, and small toiletries, while remaining compact enough for nighttime looks. Crafted from smooth leather, with both a detachable shoulder and crossbody strap, it’s a versatile and high-quality piece you’ll keep forever. — Andrea Gale, Associate Editor

Stylish Blush-Hued Socks In The Softest Wool Blend

Maria La Rosa socks are one of my outfit secret weapons; the brand uses such special materials and colors, and this blush-hued pair is no exception. Crafted from kid mohair and wool, the ribbed mid-calf design can withstand the chilliest weather — and they’ll look so stylish peeping out of chunky loafers. — Andrea Gale, Associate Editor

Edgy, Square-Toe Leather Boots For Dressing Up In Chilly Weather

These MIISTA leather boots are packed with edgy, chic detail that make dressing up in chilly weather such a breeze: A sharp square toe, a low flared heel, and a row of goth-inspired safety pins up the shaft. An elasticized dart in the zippered shaft delivers a streamlined fit that layers under pants and looks slick with practically any length of skirt. — Andrea Gale, Associate Editor

A Wool Triangle Scarf That’s So Old Hollywood

The triangle shape is what makes me fall bonkers in love with this dreamily soft pure wool scarf; obviously it’ll look stylish around your neck, but just imagine it tied over your hair, like an old Hollywood star. And in that trending lipstick red hue — I die. — Andrea Gale, Associate Editor

A Pair Of Comfy Nike Sneakers Based On An Archival ‘70s Design

A comfy yet chic sneaker is one of my musts, and I love the denim finish on this pair of Nikes; it’s surprising in the best way, and, much like my favorite jeans, neutral enough to pair with all sorts of looks. A riff on an archival ‘70s design, these feature a flared heel and the Nike signature swoop in a pale blue suede that accents the denim perfectly. — Andrea Gale, Associate Editor

A Classic Button-Down Cardigan That Makes Layering A Breeze

You can’t go wrong with a classic button-down cardigan, and this Acne Studios version is crafted from a soft organic cotton blend, in a close-but-not-too-close fit that can be layered over T-shirts or styled as standalone top. This rich chocolate shade is just as neutral as black, but feels ultra-fresh. — Andrea Gale, Associate Editor

A Shearling-Lined Leather Jacket That’s Worth The Splurge

Crafted from mocha-hued leather with rich chocolate brown trim, and lined in genuine fluffy shearling, this is the splurge-worthy jacket to keep you warm and stylish on cold days, now and for years to come. And you can fold up the notch collar and secure with the chic buckle for even more coziness. — Andrea Gale, Associate Editor

The Perfect Oversized Bomber

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect oversized bomber jacket, and I’m happy to report that I’ve finally found it (thank you, The Frankie Shop). This one hits all the right notes: It’s wonderfully oversized, supple rather than stiff, and comes in my favorite color (army green, the best goes-with-everything neutral IMO). I love how it looks zipped up all the way to the top, and the pockets are nice and secure, thanks to the snap-closure buttons. – Adeline Duff, Senior Editor

A Polo-Neck Sweater Made Of Luxe Cashmere

It’s safe to assume that this cashmere sweater is quite literally going to become the MVP of my winter wardrobe. Cozy yet polished, suitable for the office, and both classic yet on trend, it’s made of luxuriously soft cashmere and has the perfect, slightly slouchy silhouette. I want all three colors. – Adeline Duff, Senior Editor

A Stella Bag Made Of Fluffy Fleece

I love adding a touch of cozy texture to my winter looks, especially in the form of an accessory. How cute is this fluffy fleece Stella McCartney bag going to look with all my cashmere turtlenecks this winter? It’s fun, but also totally timeless. – Adeline Duff, Senior Editor

An Elevated Fair Isle Sweater Made Of 100% Cashmere

I pride myself on my collection of knits, so what’s the harm in adding another cozy-chic turtleneck to my collection? I’m a sucker for fair isle, and this sweater features a particularly elevated interpretation of the print. The neutral color scheme and 100% cashmere construction are just two other cherries on top of an already perfect cake. – Adeline Duff, Senior Editor
