If this season’s sunny hues are are too bright for your style, adopt the trend in accents to recharge your wardrobe for spring. With a skinny strip of neon orange, Hache’s linen-blend tank awakens any pair of denim or slacks - and adds an edge with a hash-grey detail strategically placed along the waistline. Throw on Joseph’s netted navy cardigan for a textural contrast, and added warmth - this ray of orange isn’t as warm as it looks.

Invest in a trench coat, if you can only invest in one item this spring. With a classic cool that can elevate any suit or temper a pair of burgundy jeans, EZE’s navy trench coat is equipped to weather the season’s showers and any downfall that fall might bring. Shown with J Brand jeans and a classic white polo, EZE’s trench coat has the versatility and practicality to stay at the forefront of your closet. 

This season, stripes are the new neutral. Splendid’s soft-knit blazer is a modern add-on with its tapered bell sleeves and contrast orange lining. Versatile enough for a casual brunch followed by a spring day at the park, it pairs well with a bold-colored maxi dress by Halston Heritage and and wedge heels for the right balance of comfort and style. Or, wear it to the office with a high-waisted pencil skirt and a cotton button up. Regardless of your destination, Splendid’s jacket will elevate your look all year long.

Timeless leather jackets have an edge that’s offset by sleek sophistication. Belstaff channels James Dean with their RAF pilot’s jacket, which is an easy way to infuse coolness and versatility into your wardrobe. Dress it up with a white button-up and dark denim -- as shown here, via Robert Talbott and Citizens of Humanity -- or dress it down with a worn-in tee and your favorite washed-out jeans. Made with superior craftsmanship, Belstaff’s coat will be your first line of defense on these cold winter days -- just don’t forget to add a pop of color with these earthy hues!

Holiday luncheons are more sure than a Christmas snowfall, so it makes sense to plan your winter style around them with knockout pieces like Byron Lars’ brocade metallic skirt.  Praised by Women’s Wear Daily, the designer’s Beauty Mark line specializes in elegant twists on American classics -- and adds personality to everyday timeless silhouettes like a panel of ornate silver buttons along the backside of this knee-length pencil skirt. Styled with Schumacher’s modern cropped jacket in beige, L’Autre Chose’s short sleeve blouse in sage, and Diana Broussard’s Italian-made plexiglass chain, feel polished even while polishing off the last drop of your spiced wine!

Look like a gentleman without having to button up too much this holiday party season. Canali’s fleck Donegal sports jacket with patch pockets, suede elbow patches, knot buttons, side vents, and a luxe cashmere weave provides enough comfort and style to wear to the company party after a full day at work. J Brand’s Kane slim straight leg jeans, a silk pocket square from PS, and a turtleneck from Raffi complete this look-- and each piece is versatile and easy enough to throw on with a garment from your existing wardrobe, so you can save your energy for festive cocktail banter with your overzealous boss and fiercely compelling co-workers!

You don’t have to sacrifice style for warmth this year when holiday (party) season begins! Mason’s olive-toned military coat provides both style and comfort, with its polished silhouette and virgin wool and cashmere blend. It’s mid-thigh length is ideal for pairing with a cocktail dress, or a pair of leggings - as shown here - on the next morning, when the inevitable cure-all coffee run happens. Feminine and brassy, feel prepared to tackle flurries - and coworkers - in Mason’s coat.

Function & style aren’t that different from golfing & excitement; the pairings don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Achieve harmony between the former two with Gallotti’s navy topcoat. Italian-made with a wool-cashmere blend, removable lining, working button holes, and double jet pockets, Galloti’s coat will bring you comfort and a polished look from now until after the last snow melts on the course. A napoleon pocket holds your wallet for easy access in a blizzard and the zip up functions as a tie-shield -- can your caddy do that?

Instead of jeans and a hoodie, try out sophisticated comfort for your Saturday morning errands with Hache’s modern zip up, mauve-toned leggings from Ports 1961, Moschino’s cream front-tie sweater, and a triple-strand necklace from Chan Luu. Finely tailored and versatile, Hache’s wool-blend jacket is an easy pick for an autumn stroll, and its confident silhouette fits just as well on top of a pencil skirt for an office-to-evening look. Whether toned down or amped up, Hache’s jacket casts a shadow in sunlight and in moonlight.

Draw inspiration from the gentleman and outdoorsman when the temperature drops this year. Rugged polish is an easy shot with Façonnable’s herringbone jacket and hennley, Peter Millar’s purple check button up, and UGG’s reinterpretation of L.L.Bean’s classic duck boot. Beginning as a tailor shop in Nice, France, Façonnable specializes in tailored garments made from quality fabrics. Layered for warmth and style, the shabby chic look will take you from Michigan Avenue to Lake Michigan’s coast. 

Comfort is one difference between fashion and style: more personal and refined, style is how we edit trends and wear them with confidence -- and you can’t feel too confident without feeling comfortable. Find comfort in Luigi Bianchi’s moleskin cloth jacket. Made in Mantova, Italy by the 100-year old, family-run brand, this soft blazer strikes a balance between fashion and comfort with surgeon cuffs, working button holes, fabric made from a cotton-blend, and a patch, bell pocket for a pocket square or cell phone. Worn casual here-- with Theory’s Bailey B cardigan, J Brand’s “Kane” cut, and gloves from Dents, the oldest glove-maker in the world-- Luigi Bianchi’s jacket has a weekend feel but transitions into work wear well with the addition of a button up and tie. The choice is yours.

On days when you don’t feel like lugging a trench, after the rain has cleared, G1’s “Raf” blazer is an excellent alternative. Lined with a hooded windbreaker-- which can be buttoned to the sides of the outer piece, worn on its own, or taken out for extra sweater room-- G1’s jacket is a necessary cover for any form of fall weather. Militant but feminine, with a cinched waistline and fitted silhouette, the jacket pairs well with a chunky necklace from Carolina, bootcut denim from Sanctuary, and a bright pop of color from Joie’s silk blouse-- which shines just as much beneath a grey suit (thanks Amy Poehler!). Best of all: you can scrunch it into your bag during a day at the museum or mall-- does your trench do that?

The only thing sleeker than a pale pink shell beneath a suit: one with detachable ostrich feathers. Office glam has a new meaning with this flapper-nodding tank from Schumacher. Crafted with a silk front and a cotton back, Schumacher's statement piece is designed for comfort - while you're sitting at your desk, or standing with a drink in hand. Pair it with a meticulously tailored suit, like the pinstripe Rene Lezard shown here, and flaunt your femininity while buttoned up.

Luxury items always have a home base: The best cars are made in England; the finest watches come from Switzerland; and Italy takes credit for the sharpest quality suits. Canali, a family-owned brand since 1934, is as luxe as suiting gets. Often seen on Condé Nast’s glossy pages, Canali garments are still designed and tailored in Italy - yet, the cashmere wool blend of this pinstripe has the fresh feel of just leaving a sewing machine. Find comfort in this classic, and enrich it with modern touches like a skewed wool tie and a dotted, navy-tipped pocket square.

The Midwestern gentlemen look is back in style. Tailored garments with subtle eccentricities will always be iconic, but updated versions, like this Kroon spoorts jacket, stays atop of trends and technology with saddle corduroy beneath the collar and a pocket for a cell phone. A wool and cashmere blend provides comfort and is balanced by a sleek fit. Personalize it with a multi-colored shirt like the one shown here, and express your style in a timeless way.
