“Mesh is having a moment, so it's only right to add some mesh kitten heels to cart,” says Sharpe, who suggests this pair, with a flared 2.2-inch heel all trimmed in shiny faux patent leather. “I love these because they are the perfect height and come in 4 different colors.

If you’re accessorizing an evening outfit, Varney is a fan of this clutch, crafted from a mirror-finish faux leather. “This metallic shoulder bag is the ideal size for a night out and serves as a stylish statement piece when you want to elevate your outfit,” she says. The buckle strap allows you to adjust the length, while a magnetized flap closure keeps contents secure.

As a timeless addition to your accessories, Varney recommends the tortie version of these ‘90s oval sunglasses. “I’ll say it forever: tortoiseshell sunglasses are a staple of sophistication,” she swears of the classic design, which offers UV 400 protection. “They look expensive, but in reality, they’re just $15 — no one will ever know! Plus, they’re polarized, so you get function and style in one.”

“If your outfit feels like it’s missing something, chances are it’s a belt,” says Varney, who recommends this two-pack of slender faux leather belts. “A belt has the power to pull any look together, and these two are versatile and chic.

“This black cropped denim jacket is equal parts Western and rock ‘n’ roll, with bold studs, distressed details, and a raw fringe hem,” says Gammas. “The washed black finish adds a rugged, lived-in vibe that works just as well over a slip dress as it does with high-waisted jeans.” It’s a statement piece that makes experimenting with your look easy.

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large

For a softer take on Gammas’ recommendation, try out this denim jacket; like the recommended style, it features an intentionally worn finish with gleaming faux pearls instead of silver-toned studs.

Also worth considering to add interest to your office ensembles: This multipack of stretchy and soft fishnet tights.

Shoppers adore them, too — over 8,000 fans have given them a five-star rating.

Even if tights aren’t your thing, you can still take Harris’ advice for zhuzhing your work attire; these sheer floral-print socks are so eye-catching, everyone in the office will be asking where you found them.

Like the steamer recommended by Harris, this mini iron makes it easy to de-wrinkle clothes.

“I'm loving the barrel style denim at the moment,” declares Rounick, who suggests this pair, calling them “very on trend.” According to Rounick, the “straight wide-leg fit is not only super chic but also incredibly comfortable, perfect for dressing up or down depending on the occasion.” Bonus: They’re made from soft and durable 100% cotton.

• Available sizes: 2 — 16
• Available colors: 3

In a cool-girl animal print, these barrel jeans give you two trends for the price of one — another excellent way to take Rounick’s advice. Designed with a high waist and zipper fly, the rounded shape tapers slightly above the ankle. Pair it with a top that’s a bit more fitted than the pants to keep proportions in check.

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 13

According to fashion stylist Risa Kostis, this denim midi-jacket “is a wardrobe staple and a piece that will serve as a go-to for a long time to come. Denim is not only durable, but it’s timeless and seasonless.” Designed with a buttoned flap-pocket front in a mid-wash denim, Kostis loves “that you can belt something like this and wear it as a dress, or leave open for transitional styling from season-to-season.”

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 11

Statement-makers to the front: In a length that hits below the knee, this denim midi coat can easily be styled as a dress per Kostis’ suggestion, especially when you add a belt for shape. The double-breasted notched lapel silhouette is crafted from medium-wash denim for an evergreen look that carries you from season to season.

“Black lace is having such a moment right now,” says Kostis, who recommends this high-waisted skirt crafted from sheer stretch lace. “I love that this piece is current, timeless, and would work with an oversized black blazer and pumps for a chic girl’s dinner or date night.” Those who prefer a little extra coverage can also layer it over sheer or opaque tights.

Kostis considers this T-shirt an essential; “Boxy cropped white tees are a go-to when I’m putting together a capsule closet for a client,” she says. “They are incredibly versatile and can be worn on so many occasions. I personally don’t think this item needs to be a splurge, so finding it on Amazon is a no-brainer when I’m thinking about where to source the perfect basic.”

If you’re looking for a little jewelry inspo, try these huggies recommended by Kostis. “Chunky earrings are everywhere and I love that these are trendy and affordable accessory essential,” she says. “I’ve been living in vintage and costume earrings, and I’ve been recommending these to all my clients that are looking to build their accessory collection.” A bonus: Plated in sterling silver, the nickel-free hinge-back design promises not to bother sensitive ears.

“Owning a roomy white button down is a non-negotiable if you’re a client of mine,” declares Kostis, who favors this button-down crafted from a soft cotton blend. “The array of styling options is endless, and it’s one of those classic pieces that can pull a look together in record time. If you’re anything like me, white tops don’t stay super white for too long, so I love the idea of not over-spending so you can style yourself guilt-free”.

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 16

With the coolest pleated texture, this button-down is a chic addition to your capsule wardrobe; like the shirt Kostis recommends, it features an oversize fit that can be styled tons of ways. The collared design hits at the hip, and features handy button tabs at the cuffs if you choose to style them rolled.

• Available sizes: X-Large Plus — 5X-Large Plus

According to stylist Jana Meister, this jacket is a seasonal wardrobe must-have. She recommends this classic cream version in a luxe textured knit. “I love the elevated look of the gold button details on this cropped tweed style,” she says. “This jacket is perfect for pairing over a dress or styled with jeans.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 7

Like the piece recommended by Meister, this jacket features a cropped, boxy fit elevated by the chic knit. This version’s tweed-style pattern gets an extra dash of elegance from pearly buttons and subtle contrasting trim — and, like Meister’s pick, this’ll look just as incredible with jeans as it does with a dress.

• Available sizes: 1X-Large — 4X-Large
• Available colors: 2

For getting your shoe collection on-trend, Meister suggests these slingbacks. “Metallic is one the biggest trends right now,” she says, calling these heels “a perfect way to add this trend to your favorite [seasonal] looks.” That flared heel serves up modern, subtle yet eye-catching detail.

• Available sizes: 6 — 11
• Available colors: 7

“Chocolate brown handbags have been one of the biggest [...] trends,” says Meister, who suggests adding this of-the-moment woven crossbody bag to your cart. “It’s an ideal purse for use in work, shopping, travel, or vacation,” noting that it “looks [luxe] without the expensive price tag.”

• Available colors: 1

When the weather is changing, Meister recommends adding this mock-neck sleeveless sweater, calling it “a perfect transitional spring staple.” According to Meister, the mock-neck design “is easily worn underneath a jacket or cardigan but can also be worn on its own.”

• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 25

Every bit as useful in transitional weather as the piece recommended by Meister, this sweater is similarly designed with a mock neckline and relaxed cap sleeves. The easy-fitting silhouette is accented by a cute patch front pocket on the chest — and, like Meister’s pick, it comes in several stylish shades.

• Available sizes: 1X-Large — 5X-Large
• Available colors: 7

To maximize your wardrobe, Meister recommends this set, crafted from ultra-soft fabric. “It can be matched together or worn separately to create multiple different outfits,” she points out. “The wide leg pants are extremely comfortable and stylish. This set pairs well with sandals or heels and comes in several color options. This set is perfect for vacation, work, or date night!”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 26

Not only does this matching set allow you to mix and match as per Meister’s recommendation — the cropped tank and high-waisted skirt will look good with tons of pieces already in your closet — but, when worn together, it’s 100% date night-ready. All you need to accent the bodycon silhouette is a sleek pair of heels.

• Available sizes: Large Plus — 5X-Large Plus
• Available colors: 39

If you’re looking for a piece that can work in a variety of settings, Meister suggests this dress, with a button front and knee-length babydoll silhouette. “A simple denim dress is an easy-breezy spring piece because it can be worn dressy or casually,” she says. “Denim dresses can be worn for so many different occasions, from summer concerts, vacation, to work.”

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 27

Another piece with dress-up-or-down potential, this denim mini dress perfectly balances the elevated and the casual, with a structured button front and raw-edged hem. The wide tank straps and high V-neckline offer enough coverage for daytime — and will look so cute with a turtleneck layered underneath in the fall and winter.

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large

“These pants are extremely versatile, comfortable, and stylish,” Meister raves of these palazzo pants, crafted from a buttery-soft stretchy knit. “They are perfect for day-to-day wear but can also be dressed up,” the stylist confirms, noting their “wide leg silhouette that pairs perfectly with sandals, athletic shoes, and just about any jacket or top.” In a budget-friendly pack of three, all signs point to buy now.

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large

If you’re looking for genius clothing storage hacks, personal stylist Samantha Dawn has one: “I use shower hooks to hold my denim in my closet,” she says, recommending this gold-toned 12-pack. “It makes my closet look like a boutique and I can see all my denim perfectly.” It’s closet storage made ridiculously simple.

• Available colors: 5

Like the hooks recommended by Dawn, these gold-toned hangers will make your closet look like a high-end boutique — and you can use them to hang sweaters and tops. Slender yet sturdy, each hanger is indented to help keep straps in place if you’re using them to hang your tanks. Just like fine jewelry, they’re also available in copper, rose gold, and silver tones.

• Available colors: 4

Dawn has another clever styling hack: This double-sided fashion tape. “I love using fabric tape when my belt is a little too long but too short for the next belt loop,” she says. “It makes the outfit look more put together.” Skin-safe and fabric friendly, the tape can keep sleeves from slipping over a bra strap, too, for example.

When packing for a trip, Dawn suggests these compression packing cubes as a way of maximizing suitcase space. “I love using compression or vacuum bags for when I travel,” she says, because “it gives me more room and I never have to take a check in. Team [carry-on]!” The 10-piece set comes in nesting sizes to accommodate all your essentials, along with a toiletry bag, shoe bag, laundry bag, and zippered pouch.

• Available colors: 11

Dawn mentions using vacuum bags as well as packing cubes to save space in a suitcase — and this popular 12-pack can store an unbelievable amount of pieces. Crafted from sturdy transparent plastic, the set is backed by over 30,000 five-star ratings, and comes with its own electric air pump to make the packing process as easy as possible.
