I don’t even need to look at my bank account to know I’ve been good this year, so I think it’s only appropriate to treat myself to some end-of-year gifts. I want to stock my closet with cute pieces that feel both on-trend and timeless: big knit sweaters, classic denim cuts, and statement wool coats. My co-worker, who is an avid fan of anything PAIGE, has told me countless times that the brand is the one to turn to for items that hold their value for years to come. Its collection is filled with tops I can dress down with its signature jeans or up with chic leather-look pants. Plus, there are a couple of dresses I’m super excited about because I haven’t added to my dress collection in far too long, so I’m excited to layer them with long coats and tall boots. Keep reading to see my 21 top picks for closing out the year and how I plan to style them.
