2026 Wardrobe Essentials

A tailored jacket always means business—but its partner in crime doesn’t have to just be the coordinating pant. Add flair with a contrasting sweater, a tie, or even brooch.

Whoever said you only need one of each never met Comme Si’s Classica shirt. Doubled up in unexpected color pairings, they become a prism for playful personal style. Like kids in a candy store, why stop at one?

A printed silk scarf can be draped languidly over your shoulders, knotted neatly at the neck, or tied irreverently bandana style—just one thoughtful accent unlocks endless wears.

Balancing ease with polish, the loafer loses its backing but retains its footing in a slip-on-and-go silhouette that matches the season’s buoyant mood. Style it with lived-in denim and a ladylike jacket for considered contrast.

A faithful confidante loaded with memories of first days. In a modern wardrobe, it’s no longer the anchor, but one layer of many. Wear it loosely buttoned over a crisp shirt and sheer knit, with rolled-up sleeves, or casually tied around the waist—in 2026, there’s really no wrong way to style it.

Same trench coat, different font. In striking hues—from crimson to olive—the transitional staple is pushed into bold new territory. When it comes to styling, a sleek base recalibrates the scale.

The Row’s take on the classic black legging is as simple and streamlined as you’d imagine—easily tucked into boots, sneakers, or none of the above if you’re taking a page from the resort show. A belted jacket gives it instant structure.

Attenzione pickpockets! The only way to carry your bag is wide open, insides spilling out in a beautiful mess—for all to see and covet. Balenciaga’s Rodeo makes for a modern day Mary Poppins bag: attach charms, let earbuds tip out, and embrace the chaos.

Clean lines, full hearts, can t lose—if there’s one hero item that’ll make your wardrobe feel entirely new, it’s the collarless jacket. Khaite’s leather take—with a high V-neck and heartstopping silver buttons—finds its match in rinse-wash denim and a touch of zebra.

This polished loafer from the up-and-coming shoe brand, Christen, is an elevated take on the tried-and-true classic. It pairs just as well with jeans as it does with evening or office wear.

Add a bit of volume to your everyday with a pair of pleated trousers. A wide-leg style is effortlessly chic and, more importantly, extra comfortable.

Once you find your white whale, you’ll never want to wear anything else. This streamlined style from The Row is a very strong contender.

Velvet trousers make for a luxe, if unexpected, winter wardrobe staple. Not only are they warmer than you’re typical viscose pant but they’re versatile, too: festive enough for a holiday party, yet not out of place in an office setting.

When temperatures drop, a funnel neck coat will be your warmest wardrobe hero. This piece will keep you cozy, and looking chic—especially on days you happen to forget your scarf. We recommend pairing it with earrings and a hair tuck!

Skirts are often overlooked when it comes to essentials, but a sleek midi can make for an excellent outfit anchor. Pair it with tights and knee-high boots for an elegant everyday look.

A sleek black option will go as many places as you do. You’re never wrong to invest in the one you really want.

Worn solo on warmer days or layered underneath a coat, a no-fuss black blazer adds structure whenever you need a confidence boost. The Row’s cashmere style pairs as well with tailoring as it does more feminine silhouettes.
