Tips on timeless pieces you'll want to wear forever
When building your fall and winter capsule wardrobe, there are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Go for classic and neutral colors that you can mix and match easily.
2. Choose silhouettes that are easy to layer for dressing up and down.
3. Pick a statement piece or two—we recommend accessories like shoes and bags—to add a personal touch to your outfits without overdoing it.
4. Select materials and patterns that never go out of style—leather, denim, flannel, pinstripe—to name a few.
5. Choose durable, ethically sourced, and sustainable clothing.
6. Leverage the company's styling services to make sure you get exactly what you want.
