My sister loves fashion, and while her corporate job couldn't be any further from the fashion world, she's the kind of person who always wants to stay ahead of the trends and be the first to know what styles and It items to invest in from season to season—which I will happily help her with!
This week, she asked me to suggest elegant, on-trend pieces that she can wear throughout the cold-weather season for everything from work to events to weekend affairs. I did what I do best and scoured all of our favorite retailers and gave her this list of sophisticated styles below. Included in the mix are chic coats, sumptuous sweaters, day-to-night dresses, sleek tailored pieces, and more. If you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your wardrobe, then take a peek.
