1. A breezy pair of paper bag shorts with a super cute tie belt at the waist to give these essential basics a little ~accent~. These are the perfect length to keep you cool in the summer humidity and can be paired with tights in the fall, but are a touch more sophisticated than classic denim shorts.
2. A pair of wide-leg Eileen Fisher pants for the autumn and winter months ahead. These clean-line trousers aren't just stylish; they will keep you comfortable and warm as the weather chills.
3. A stylish pair of block heel booties that you can easily slip on for a simple platform upgrade, without having to force yourself to wear heels all day.
4. An embroidered dress with perfect tulle half-sleeves so you can feel like the embodiment of elegance at dinner with your friends. This simple dress is easy to slip on when you can't decide what to wear, and no matter where you go, you're bound to get compliments on the floral embroidery.
5. A cozy loungewear set that you'll simply never want to take off. Why spend your days in stiff jeans or restrictive slacks when you can take all your Zoom meetings in this set?
6. A tie-waist top for a look that's office appropriate but is more than just a basic blouse. The tie accent and crochet shoulder detailing give this shirt the best of both worlds — it's both comfortable and eye-catching.
7. A tailored one-button blazer to give you that boss babe look you've been going for. You simply can't feel powerless when wearing a blazer, it's a scientific fact! This works perfectly with slacks or a skirt for a super-professional look, or throw it on over jeans and heels for a look that says, "Yeah, I'm chill but also I'll take you down if you try me." We love a blazer!!!
8. A matching Free People skirt and crop top set with a beautiful floral print that'll make you wish you were frolicking in a meadow (instead of hanging out in your house, listening to cars honking on the street). The soft, ruffled style gives you an effortlessly chic look while still maintaining that Fashion Week vibe.
9. A pair of round Dior sunglasses to block out the sun and the people who try to talk to you on the street. Headphones in and sunglasses on = do not approach me.
10. A pair of bike shorts in a colorful ombré design that you can wear for any occasion. Lounging at home? Bike shorts. Running errands? Bike shorts. Biking with friends? Bike. Shorts.
11. An open-front linen jacket for a look that has the sophistication of a suit jacket or blazer, but isn't quite as restrictive. This jacket is sleek but still keeps it loose and a bit casual, so you can hit happy hour after work and not feel overdressed.
12. A Tommy Hilfiger moto jacket that has an asymmetrical front-zip closure, for those days when you want something a little more elevated than your classic zip-up jacket.
13. A super-cute wide-leg jumpsuit with a trendy ankle hem cut, so you can take it from the office to dinner and still be perfectly dressed. Throw on a jacket and some heels for a fancy night out, or some sneakers if you're just taking a midafternoon coffee break.
14. A pair of Puma sneakers that should honestly just be a staple in any closet. The super-sleek sneakers are perfect for grabbing coffee or hitting the gym, with padded insoles for comfort and structured webbing for lateral support.
15. An oversized linen button-down because nothing says peak fashion like a buttoned top. The three-quarter sleeves add a more professional look, but you won't feel super stuffy wearing this simple shirt.
16. A pastel-flower 14K gold necklace that will make you feel like a kid again in the best possible way. This adjustable necklace adds the perfect whimsical touch to any outfit, but is also just subtle enough to be effortlessly stylish.
17. A fiery red leather Valentino logo belt to add a pop of color to your outfit. This is the perfect way to hold your pants up *and* remind you how red hot you actually are.
18. A straw tote that straight-up looks like a picnic basket, it's so dang cute. You absolutely can't not have a smile on your face while carrying this bag. Plus, it has all the room you need for the essentials.
19. A summery dress because the cooler months are swiftly approaching and you deserve to splurge one last time on a breezy, colorful dress (that you can wear all next summer, too). Summer, you will be missed.
20. A leather moto jacket that is the definition of versatile. It's the perfect addition to an all-black outfit if you're feeling dark one day, but also goes great over some light pants, to remind people you may look sweet but you've got an edge to you.
21. A pair of stylish mules for easy slip-on style that is über-comfy and yet, gorgeous.
22. A merino wool cape that you can wrap around yourself on a cool fall day. This is the ideal outerwear for that interim period between autumn and winter. Not too warm that you'll feel suffocated, but still covers you enough to protect you from wind chill.
23. A wrap skirt for a flowy vibe that can take you from August into September. This skirt is long enough that it feels like an autumn option, but its wrap styling will keep you cool on the final few scorchers of the year. We love versatile clothes.
24. A cropped denim jacket with ruffled, elevated shoulders that just scream style. Are they actual shoulder pads? No, but they look as cool as actual shoulder pads.
25. A workout sweatshirt because style doesn't stop just because you start sweating profusely. Build some killer muscles while looking extra fly in this workout top. Or just throw it on and look sporty chic all day.
26. A faux-fur teddy bomber that, I have to admit, I bought while writing this list. Sure, it's 92 degrees in New York as I write this, but soon it will be fall and I will be so happy to have my cozy teddy bomber. So will you.
27. A gorgeous Valentino crossbody bag with a chain strap so you can have a designer-level purse for over 60% off. The simple green color is a perfect addition to your outfit and will spice up your collection of ordinary black handbags.
28. And a tiered black T-shirt dress that falls to mid-thigh and can be easily dressed up or down depending on your day. Got a lot of meetings? Throw on some heels and a blazer. Spending the day out with friends? Sneakers or sandals are the perfect addition.
