Thatll keep you on a nice, versatile rotation well into late winter and early spring.

To keep your capsule wardrobe fresh, integrate seasonal trends through accessories and pops of color, Christansen suggests.

Think statement scarves and jewelry.

This way, you stay current without overhauling your entire wardrobe each year.

I always give an example of a basic white tee, Lavo says.

Also pay close attention to construction details like double or French stitching, which indicate durability and craftsmanship.

A tailored wool coat or a high-quality parka can elevate any outfit while keeping you warm.

These shades are easy to mix and match, making your wardrobe more versatile, Christansen says.

Pops of color are best reserved for trendier pieces that lean into the zeitgeist.

However, rich berry shades or jewel tones can work beautifully from season to season.
