Black Slip Dress

"Everyone needs a timeless little black dress in their wardrobe they can reach for at any time. That’s why I suggest my clients have an easy-to-style slip dress that never fails to impress. The Vince satin midi is one of my favorites. It’s a versatile piece you can dress up with a blazer and strappy heels or down with a denim jacket and comfy sandals, making it also a great dress to pack when you travel.” — Koszarek

Blazer

"A blazer is a classic piece I always recommend to my clients. It’s the perfect finishing touch that adds style to a wardrobe and completes every outfit. I recommend starting with a classic black blazer and then adding a seasonal color for a fun twist.” — Koszarek

White T-Shirt

"Everyone needs a good-quality classic white T-shirt. It’s a timeless staple that is easy to wear and never goes out of style! My go-to for years has been the ATM schoolboy crew-neck. It’s a versatile and reliable item you can always count on. Layer it under blazers for a cool sophisticated outfit or wear it with jeans for a casual yet stylish look.” — Koszarek

Straight-Leg Jeans

"Regardless of which style of denim is trending, classic straight-leg jeans never disappoint. Style a dark pair with a blazer for work or a lighter shade with jeans, a T-shirt, and your favorite sneakers for a reliable casual vibe.” — Koszarek

Button-Down Shirt

"A button-down shirt is a timeless staple that always gets it right. I recommend styling an oversize shirt over a tank with jeans for a relaxed, cool vibe or tucking a classic button-down into trousers for a sophisticated look you can feel confident wearing just about anywhere.” — Koszarek

Neutral-Colored Sandals

"When it comes to timeless style, I always suggest adding neutral-color sandals to a spring wardrobe. They elongate the leg and easily go with many outfits, making them a classic wardrobe staple that never disappoints.” — Koszarek

Trousers

"Trousers never disappoint! Whether aiming for a chic everyday casual look or wanting to elevate your style for a sophisticated evening outfit, trousers are a versatile go-to item for any occasion with style and grace. Try a wide leg this season.” — Koszarek

Denim Jacket

"A classic jean jacket is a timeless favorite I like to recommend because it easily completes any outfit. Whether you wear it over a dress, pair it with jeans or trousers, or over athleisure, the jean jacket is a third piece that never lets you down!” — Koszarek
