With guidance from the best of the best in the industry, it's easy to transform an otherwise lackluster wardrobe into one a fashion person would be proud of. Many outfit ideas caught my eye, spanning casual everyday looks to party-ready ensembles. The sweaters and outerwear alone are worth checking out.
