January tends to be a time to simplify and pare down to the essentials, and that includes dressing. I love creating a “go to” look that I don’t mind repeating at all. J CREW is the place to shop the basics and then layer on with some of their “Collection” pieces. Start with a great pair of black pants – Dixie Pants (7) are incredible for style. Zipper in the back, just enough stretch, and fit like a dream. Top it with a Cashmere Turtleneck (8), then a Shearling Cardigan (1) – it is a brilliant investment piece. For a little pizzaz, some Sunglasses (2) and a few pieces of Statement Jewelry (6, 11, 9). The add the outerwear Shearling Hat (4), Barbour Fair Isle Scarf (3), and a must-have Lightweight Puffer Jacket (12). Various height Boots (5, 10) complete the effortless everyday ensemble. This would be also be a perfect layering look for winter travel and it is ideal for wearing on the plane to be both comfortable and stylish.
