Brown is one of the hues of the moment. We both think the color brings a luxurious feel to a look. On that note, we actually both just got this brown cashmere sweater from Madewell.

Wrap/Scarf Sweater

We're loving scarf coats. We're also very into oversize wraps and sweaters that have a scarf addition. This look is beyond elegant and feels modern.

Maxi Coat

You can't go wrong with a gorgeous maxi coat to look chic. It's the neutral styles in brown, tan, camel, gray, and black that pique our interest the most.

Knee-High Boots

In terms of footwear, knee-high boots are about as elegant as it gets. That perfect pair styled with a skirt is perfection.
