30 Staples From H&M, Free People, and Mango That Are Easy, Chic, and Cool
It’s cold out, and since I need my body to spend most of its energy keeping me warm, I want my winter fashion to be as non-labor-intensive as possible. This time of year, I rely heavily on wardrobe staples that go with pretty much anything. Think oversize sweaters, easy ballet flats, and neutral blazers in muted prints. Layering is key. I’ve specifically been loving the way fashion people have been wearing knits on knits—tying a sweater over a sweater around their waist or draping a sweater over their shoulders on top of one they’re already wearing. This both looks chic and is practical when it’s so cold outside you don’t dare take your hands out of your pockets.
H&M, Free People, and Mango are bringing their A-game in the staple department right now. Keep reading for a full roundup of everything I'm loving ahead.
In case you can't tell, these are deep burgundy and croc-embossed, and they would look incredible with black bootcut jeans and a blazer.
Ballet flats that feel more slipper-like are all I want to wear right now.
The shape of these sunglasses is so good, and they come in several colors.
I like the idea of pairing these with an oversize double-breasted black coat and light-blue jeans.
I've been noticing retailers have been opting to style their looks with a black T-shirt instead of a white one recently, and I'm loving the change-up.
