Four pieces to invest in your closet for this season

Investment pieces are the timeless, versatile, high-quality staples in your closet that you can buy once and own for years to come. While the price tag might be intimidating, the price-per-wear is probably cheaper than those fast fashion products we buy on a daily basis just because they sound good in the short-term. Beyond being way more responsible for the environment, filling your closet with timeless pieces can save you money and efforts on the long term.

1. Jeans

High-quality denim can be nearly indestructible, especially considering jeans don’t require washing after every wear. Since they’re such an everyday item, invest a little in a few styles from a brand that works really well for your particular shape. Denim micro-trends may come and go, but classic cuts that fit you flawlessly will last for years.

2. Jackets and Blazers

Not only are these types of pieces instant outfit makers, it’s an area where quality is really readily visible. Invest in a black blazer with an impeccable fit, and a great embellished jacket. You can throw on either over nearly any ensemble—from jeans and a white tee to your work-wardrobe go-tos—for an immediate upgrade.

3. Work shoes

Since you’ll wear them nearly every day, it’s a good idea to spend a little more money on shoes that you know you’ll be comfortable in. For a shoe selection that will work with any office outfit, keep one pair of black pumps and one pair of nude pumps on hand.

4. Winter coats

Spending a little more on outerwear for the colder months ensures higher-quality materials—like down versus a polyester-based filling—that will keep you warm and comfortable when the temperatures drop below freezing.
