1. Anything Camel

"Camel is a classic color that is always in style and always looks chic. This season, consider blazers, coats, sweaters and accessories. Earthy and warm, the color camel makes any outfit look more luxurious."— Susie Wright

2. Longline Coats

"Look for a wool coat that has a blind seam, also known as double-face wool. It's a detail that makes the coat look way more expensive than it is! You can find a great wool coat at any price point, and you'll wear it for many winter seasons to come. This is one of my highest recommendations for a coat that elevates your outfit." — Wright

3. Dark Denim

"Dark denim always reads sophisticated, and it happens to be trending this season. I recommend longer lengths in either wider-leg styles or flares. You'll wear them with everything (sweaters, blouses, blazers, and more), and you'll look a little extra polished."— Wright

4. Blazers

"Blazers do not need to be expensive! Find a classic style you love that fits well. It's the one piece that will pull all your outfits together. Pair with shorter skirts and denim, and over dresses as well. This piece is here to stay!" — Wright

5. Monochromatic Colors

"Whether you choose all black or navy or even a lighter shade like what I'm wearing, going monochromatic head to toe is always chic! And the pieces don't need to be expensive to pull off an elegant outfit." — Wright

6. Faux Leather

"Faux-leather pieces are everywhere right now, with good reason. It's super soft and can easily pass as the real thing! Try a cool wide-leg pant in faux leather, or a jacket of any kind. It gives off a rich look without the price tag." — Wright

7. Trench Coats

"Trench coats are just a cool-girl classic that always looks elevated and stylish. They don't need to be expensive as long as they have the features you're looking for. I'm wearing an Orolay that's super comfortable, and it's under $100!" — Wright
