Have you ever seen someone who's outfit looks so effortlessly put together, although it is comprised mostly of basic wardrobe staples? The key to making a statement is a statement piece. In this case, the leopard coat does all the talking. The leopard coat is one of the most versatile and show-stopping pieces you can invest in.

Some pieces just never go out of style, and a black blazer is a perfect example. This is one essential that everyone should own, no matter what your personal style is. This summer, we like our blazers a little oversized and worn casually, paired with denim shorts and sneakers or flat sandals. For a more polished look, keep one handy if you work from home and layer it over a button-down shirt or knit tank top for video calls. No matter how you wear your black blazer, consider it one of the staples of a classic, chic wardrobe.

During the spring and summer, wearing baby blues, purples, and pinks seems thoughtless—Why wouldn't you? But during the fall and winter, color tends to go dark. Wearing pastels during the new season doesn't have to be a faux pas anymore. Just like white after Labor Day, we're embracing this trend. Pair a bright coat with winter staples; a black turtleneck, studded gray jeans, and white heeled boots.
