Navy Blue

On Wright: TWP blazer; Frame jeans

"Right about now, I start thinking about wearing less black and more navy blue. You can't ever go wrong with a navy blazer and a darker jean. These are sophisticated classics you'll always feel (and look) good in. Plus, navy is a universal color that looks great on everyone and works any time of year." — Wright

Leopard Anything

On Wright: Mavi jacket

"Leopard is having a moment (it never really went away), but now, it's showing up in many of the latest designer collections. Recently, I spotted a beautiful Valentino coat with bow details, and now, I'm on the lookout for something similar but more affordable! Whether you go for a shoe or accessory or add a piece of clothing like a jacket or dress, leopard always adds a little interest to the outfit." — Wright

Denim Separates

On Wright: Zimmermann dress; Amina Muaddi slingbacks

"Everyone loves denim, and it doesn't only have to be jeans. This year, I'll be adding new pieces, like dresses, skirts, and shirts. Lately, I've been seeing sparkly embellishments on jeans and accessories similar to what I'm wearing above. Love this trend!" — Wright

Brown

On Wright: Ba&sh jacket

"Brown is a trending color that will move into early spring, and it looks really good with faded denim. I also like it with black or other neutrals. Of course, a great brown leather jacket always looks cool!" — Wright

Elevated Casual Pieces

On Wright: Lululemon set

"A matching set always looks polished, giving you an elegant monochromatic look. It's also really versatile, and pretty much any style of jacket works over the set. If you're traveling or running errands, you'll feel a little more put-together in a matching set. Plus, you can wear the pieces separately so easily!" — Wright

Of-the-Moment Accessories

On Wright: Dior scarf

"This year, I'll be focusing on my accessory game. There's nothing more important than great accessories when it comes to completing your outfits! Look for cool belts with gold or silver hardware, beautiful scarves (any style), and accessories for your hair." — Wright

White Shoes

On Wright: Gucci shoes

"Lately, every stylish outfit that's catching my eye involves a white shoe! I was just shopping in New York, and I saw the Prada slingback that was seen on the runways. Now, I'm looking to add something similar. White shoes work with every outfit and feel fresh as we head into the new year." — Wright
