When the end of the year rolls around, it's always a time for reflection. You can reflect on your accomplishments, your future goals, your travels, your relationships—and of course, your wardrobe. By now in 2023, it's clear which items you wore over and over again and which ones stayed on the hanger. But a necessary closet clean-out also works in tandem with a replenishment of items you'll actually wear.

At least, mine did. I spent the last week shopping in the new-arrivals sections at Zara, Mango, and J.Crew in order to source pieces that I could add into my outfit rotation after weeding out styles that needed to be let go. Heading into winter and early spring, I rounded up some toasty sweaters, scarves, and coats to keep warm, but transitional basics that will work for warmer temperatures weren't forgotten either. There are also minimalist accessories in the mix to go with any kind of outfit, whether you're dressing up for an upcoming NYE party or wearing something casual to run errands.

Follow my lead with 31 of the best new arrivals from Zara, Mango, and J.Crew, all of which can be found below.

Lauren Adhav
Freelance Fashion Editor

Lauren Adhav is a freelance fashion editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Orlando, Florida, she always wanted to work at a fashion magazine. After finally getting an internship at Town Country in 2015, she moved to New York City and continued to get her footing in the industry with stints at Cosmopolitan, W magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and Moda Operandi. In 2017, she returned to Cosmo full time, starting off as the beauty and fashion editorial assistant and working her way to fashion editor. She contributed to both the website and print issues, pitching new ideas, forecasting trends, covering red carpet events, and informing the overall coverage and brand voice. After five years in NYC, she moved to the West Coast for the sunshine and the change of pace. As a freelance fashion editor, she still contributes to Cosmo and nowBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing . She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls. On the weekends, you can find her walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir, trying to catch up on her tan at Venice Beach, and probably ordering a Chinese chicken salad at Joan's on Third.
