Thanksgiving is a jump and a skip away. That means winter is not far behind. We fashionistas must prepare for the brutal cold, heavy snow, and gloomy days all while staying fly and trendy. Here are our five staple pieces we think you should be thankful for this holiday season.
Boots
Boot season is in full effect. Take advantage and buy yourself at least five pairs to help you through the fall and winter months. Here are a couple styles you must rock this season:
ASOS KINGDOM Velvet Heeled Over The Knee Boots- $83.00
These velvet thigh highs from ASOS are on high trend alert. With a medium stacked heel, you’re able to dress these boots up with a cute dress or dress them down with an oversized sweatshirt. Layer the boots with leggings or stockings to keep you warmer in the colder months.
Sperry Women’s Saltwater Duck Boot– $119.95
Great for the rain or snow, waterproof duck boots will sure do the job of keeping your feet dry and warm. Throw on a pair of thick boot socks, a pair of skinny jeans, and a plaid shirt and you’re ready for a casual weekend.
Sweaters
Thick, or thin. Cute or ugly, sweaters should become your best friend this year. Great for layering over shirts and tees, sweaters can be worn for any occasion; for the holiday (Thanksgiving and Christmas), the office or something to just throw on for a quick brunch date. Here are some style sweaters that will never go out of style:
Old Navy Hi-Lo Plus-Size Cable-Knit Sweater– $39.94
You can never go wrong with a classic cable knit sweater. Layer the sweater with a collard button down shirt, colored/printed pants, and cute flats or heels for a great office look. Add a mini skirt, some heels or boots with a pop color lip stick and you’re ready for after work happy hour.
HALOGEN® V-Neck Cashmere Sweater from Nordstrom– $99
Another great classic is a cashmere sweater. We recommend investing in a quality cashmere sweater. With the right care, it can last you many fall and winter seasons to come.
Coats
The number one staple piece to be thankful for is a coat, or in our book multiple coats. There are many different styles to choose from. Here are our favorites:
3-in-1 North Face Women’s Clementine Triclimate Jacket– $280
This Triclimate jacket from North Face is a perfect fall jacket. With a detachable light jacket, you’re able to have two coats in one. This type of coat is great for active moms and women who are always on the go.
Canada Goose Rossclair Parka– $900
Canada Goose coats are all the rage this season. From puffer coats to parkas, shoppers have no problem spending a couple of dollars for quality pieces. This hooded Rossclair Parka is filled with duck down, and a removable coyote fur. Talk about quality; sounds like it’s worth every penny.
Kenneth Cole New York Wool Blend Maxi Wrap Coat– $178
A wool coat will always be a season favorite. Sometimes 100% wool coats can be expensive and a little itchy, so opt for a wool blend. They are just as good in quality and style. Try this Kenneth Cole wool blend, long length wrap coat.
Body Suits
Body suits are a life saver! You know how you tuck in your shirt and you sit down and it untucks? A body suit will not let that happen. With an array of styles and sizes to choose from, anyone and any body type can sport one.

Dress it up or dress it down, this floral lace body suit from Forever 21 is great for the office. Add a pair of wide leg pants, your favorite heels, and some gold accessories and your ready for work.

This teal long sleeve bodysuit from Forever 21 Plus is great for a girl’s night out. You will be cute and warm. To keep the outfit chic, add a pair of your cutest skinny jeans and a pair of knee high or thigh high boots.
Sequin Everything
Shimmer and shine in some sequins this winter. From tops to dresses sequins will bring that extra spice to any outfit.
Urban Outfitters Silence + Noise Akiko Sequin Mock Neck Top– $69
When styling something sequin always remember less is more. Try this cute cropped sequined top from Urban Outfitters. Add a solid bottom, jeans or skirt, and minimal jewelry for a chic outfit.
Lane Bryant Sequin Legging- $69.95
For my plus size ladies, try these sequin leggings from Lane Bryant. We love the all black everything style from top to shoes. Simple is always better.
We are thankful for the trendy styles and eye popping colors of the season. But most of all we should be thankful for our family and friends we can share these great styles with. What pieces are you thankful for? Let us know in the comments below.
