My Sister Wants a Rich-Looking Winter Wardrobe—I Sent Her These 49 Elegant Finds

My sister loves fashion, and while her corporate job couldn't be any further from the fashion world, she's the kind of person who always wants to stay ahead of the trends and be the first to know what styles and It items to invest in from season to season—which I will happily help her with!
This week, she asked me to suggest elegant, on-trend pieces that she can wear throughout the cold-weather season for everything from work to events to weekend affairs. I did what I do best and scoured all of our favorite retailers and gave her this list of sophisticated styles below. Included in the mix are chic coats, sumptuous sweaters, day-to-night dresses, sleek tailored pieces, and more. If you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your wardrobe, then take a peek.
A chic scarf coat is one of the most elegant items to invest in this season—this one comes in five colors.
Style with black sheer tights, a cashmere sweater, and an elegant black overcoat.
Elevate your minimalist tops with these classy earrings.
When it comes to luxe-looking bags, this is one of my absolute favorites.
A luxe-looking quilted jacket you'll reach for on repeat.
Just add jeans, a black belt, and pointed-toe pumps for a chic day-to-night look.
You will not—I repeat will not—regret investing in Jenni Kayne's Cooper Cardigan. It's gorgeous.
