My shopping standards are high, especially when I'm shopping for winter essentials. These are pieces I'll be using and wearing frequently throughout the season, so quality, comfort, and versatility can't be compromised. Luckily, AG's holiday collection is all of the above. It has all the elevated staples and layering pieces I need to build my dream winter wardrobe, including turtlenecks, sweaters, jeans, scarves, and jackets. I'll be happily treating myself to these chic and comfy pieces this holiday season (and also surprising my loved ones with some stylish new finds). Keep scrolling to shop my 16 selects.
