Been itching to shop? I mean, Yes, duh, always. I'm totally a lost cause come fall. I swear: I just look at my credit card and a handful of purchases show up on my bank statement. It's especially true this year, though, probably because, like many, I've mostly been buying comfy loungewear to fill out my work-from-home wardrobe. But I have a new pair of boots ready for their debut, and my sweats just won't cut it.
I'm looking for shiny and fresh must-haves like these extra-special leather-coated jeans from AG or even a buttery-leather jacket that'll give me the edge factor I've so been lacking this year. Okay, fine, I'm just looking for anything good at this point, and I imagine you are, too. So prepare for 16 seriously good casual dressing picks up ahead…
Jackets to Make You Feel Good About Your Outfits
Bet you haven't seen a real-leather jacket this cool (and reasonably priced) in a while.
A denim jacket is a forever wardrobe staple, but this two-tone number is feeling extra fresh.
Man, this would look extremely cool with a ribbed tank and a pair of leather-coated jeans (like the ones below).
Tops to Make You Look Pulled-Together
Button-downs are always in style, but this season they feel fresher than ever. Styled tucked or untucked, this can make any outfit feel cooler.
Everyone needs a basic nice-looking sweatshirt in their closet, and this one should be it.
Turtlenecks have become my favorite layering piece. They look good under dresses, low-cut tops, blazers, and just about everything else.
An elevated puff-sleeve sweatshirt is the secret to looking pulled-together while still being cozy.
Jeans to Make Your Butt Look Great
Find a better jean wash than this one… I'll wait.
If you want a pair of jeans that'll fit your body like a glove, then you're welcome—here they are.
Between the wash and the distressed knees, these jeans are like the perfect vintage pair you've never been able to find.
These '90s-inspired leather-coated jeans have just the right amount of edge.
Got short legs like me? Trick people into thinking you have super-long stems with this flare style. (I know I will.)
I've never owned a pair of velvet bottoms, but clearly, that needs to change.
I predict that these will become your new favorite go-to jeans. (I know they would for me.)
The perfect pair of jeans to style with over-the-knee boots (like the ones I'm waiting to debut).
The perfect outfit formula consists of these jeans, chunky boots, a tee, and a blazer.
