Pictured: J.Crew Tweed Lady Jacket ($298)
There are a few brands I turn to if I’m looking for a new piece that has the potential to become a closet staple—aka, a versatile select that can be styled with a range of items. If it’s not a multi-brand retailer, Zara, J.Crew, Vince, Banana Republic, and Madewell are five labels that always stock top-notch wardrobe essentials.
I should also note that each of these stores has recently dropped new chic items that I just had to share with you for shopping inspiration. Keep scrolling to shop beautiful outerwear selects (like the J.Crew jacket featured above), cool denim cuts, cozy knits, and so much more.
