The Gifts that Keep on Giving: Wardrobe Staples to Live In

November 13, 2019

The weeks before the holiday shopping craze can leave us feeling stuck–the urge to splurge is at an all time high, but saving for holiday gifting is the more apparent reality. That’s why we’ve rounded up the 5 most essential (and practical) holiday gifts for yourself, so you can spend the rest of the holiday season focusing on the ones you love.

Made for Walking

When boiling down the choices to our must-have footwear, wearability is key. Our classic chelsea boot in supple caramel suede adds new life into your most-worn outfits. We especially love them with white jeans and a simple tee or sweater.

We couldn’t get anywhere without our tried and true mule in classic oiled black leather. Try them with jeans, dresses, and skirts: you truly can’t go wrong, but we especially love them with our favorite vintage denim or ReDones.

Our everyday loafer isn’t just for days at the office: its sleek silhouette is perfect with suiting, but its true value is in its casual appeal–try it with your simplest outfits for an updated feel.

Sweater Saviors

Our motto for most things is less is more. However, on the sweater front, we’re the first to admit we’ve had trouble paring back. Picking a favorite sweater is much like picking a favorite child– but we’ve rounded up the most important additions to our winter knitwear arsenal based on cut, style, and comfort.

Our atlas sweater is the close to perfect silhouette we can’t get enough of. In a deep charcoal and rich camel that cover all your bases, this relaxed yet cropped silhouette is flattering on almost every body and has that throw-over-anything appeal.

For cold days and cozy nights, we couldn’t pass up our puffy crewneck. In wine and camel, it’s perfect for making the holiday rounds. Its slim-straight silhouette is flattering and easy, and its thick knit and puffy ribbed collar have an extra winter-proof feel.
