SWEATER WEATHER
There’s nothing like a cozy yet stylish sweater on those freezing winter mornings when you hit snooze a few too many times and need a quick way to get yourself work ready. Depending on what your day ahead holds, you can throw on this Wilfred “Cyprie” cashmere mock-neck turtleneck with jeans and sneakers, a skirt and boots, or even under a blazer for instant polish.

FEELING HOT
Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2022 runway show was one of the most memorable of the season: model after model traipsed the catwalk swathed in the same shade of hot pink. And that’s not all: the walls and floor of the runway itself were also bright pink — one of the most committed odes to a single colour that we’ve ever seen. Get in on the moment and the memory with this Mini VLOGO leather shoulder bag, with its combination chain-link and leather strap, slim-line silhouette and crescent moon-inspired shape that’s so on trend right now.

DRESS UP TIME
If you’re someone who laps up Hallmark holidays like Valentine’s Day or sees it as a major occasion, then you might be in the market for a new date-night dress. Enter this one-shoulder bodycon “Anna” style, has a form-fitting shape and ruched left side that balances the right-hand off-shoulder detail. Team with pumps and a clutch for a classic and elegant look.

TIE A BOW ON IT
For a shoe option that is somehow both wintery and spring-ready, dressy but also easy to wear, look no further than these “Flaca” slide sandals by Jimmy Choo. Featuring ruched straps in cotton candy pink and oversized bows in a slightly darker hue, they’re a fun way to inject a bit of romance into your wardrobe, and although obviously an investment, they’re also surprisingly versatile.

PERFECT PANTS
Is there anything better — especially on a Monday morning in the winter — than finding office-appropriate clothing that you don’t hate? These high-waisted pants could be just what you’ve been searching for: professional but not at all boring, flattering yet comfortable, and practical, with a cropped length that works well with heels, pronounced seams at the front and back, and handy welt side pockets.
