These are women who have the chance to comb through the best of the best in the world of fashion on a daily basis.

Scroll down to see their picks and shop them for yourself, and then see which winter essentials made it onto my personal list.
"Interesting and sexy suiting. The new suit still is impeccably tailored but has added flair such as sexy cutouts, unusual paneling or deconstruction, and asymmetrical lines! It's a new twist on a classic. Amazing examples of these were seen on such runways such as Dion Lee, Cushnie, and Off-White."
"And animal prints! These guys have finally made a strong comeback, and although they are timeless enough to wear as accessories year after year, it's time to bring out the full looks! This season they came out full force on the runways in a variety of fun colors, as seen with Tom Ford, Givenchy, and Dolce Gabbana."
"Cowboy boots are back! I love the options from Anine Bing. You can do something simple and easy like a black or a brown; she also carries really fun ankle boots with a star on them. I love these black-and-white cow-print options. Animal prints are huge, and this is a great way to tick two of the trend boxes in one! PS: If cowboy boots feel a little too much but you still want to nod to the trend, opt for a cool cowboy-inspired belt instead."
"I adore neck- and headscarves. Anything that gives me options on how to wear them and adds a little something to my outfit without a whole lot of effort gets a major thumbs up in my book! There are so many options out there. You could even get crafty and make your own really easily!"
"I love ones that have a bit of a print without feeling overwhelming, that will mix and match with a solid or a patterned look. I also have a little bit of an obsession with mustard, so anything in this colorway is usually a go for me! But I also love this option from Zara that has a fun print! This is not an item that needs to break the bank either!"
