This season, I am all about looking as timeless, stylish, and elevated as possible. This means lots of high-quality basics and a few fun, trendy pieces from retailers that I love that I can mix and match with the pieces in my closet. I turned to three of my favorite retailers: Madewell, J.Crew, and Zara. I rounded up 30 pieces that check all of my boxes, from the prettiest burgundy faux-leather barn coat from J.Crew to the coziest knits from Madewell to date night ready pieces from Zara. I have a feeling you're going to love these picks just as much as I do.
Keep scrolling to take a peek at my list of must-buy picks from Zara, J.Crew, and Madewell that I don't think will stay in stock until the end of January.
