If you're looking to create a chic outfit (I mean, who isn't, right?), you've landed in the right spot. I'm here to provide a shopping list of everything I'm loving at four key retailers—Zara, J.Crew, COS, and H&M. And yes, adding just one of the pieces coming your way to a wardrobe has the power to upgrade a look because of their modern and forward nature.

The list runs the gamut, but as a highlight, you'll find everything from elevated outerwear silhouettes to beautiful sweaters (ahem, cashmere) to pretty separates that will work for the holiday party season.
