Winter 2023 wardrobe essentials, according to a style expert
Classic women's look
Ann Taylor Perfect Shirt
A white button down can go a long way when it comes to your everyday wardrobe. This blouse from Ann Taylor is aptly named the "Perfect" shirt has a crisp look but offers a little bit of stretch, so you can wear it through the spring. Plus, once summer rolls around, you'll be able to wear it over a tank top.
Ann Taylor Tall Sculpting Mid Rise Skinny Jeans
Who said skinny jeans are going out of style? Buccio picked this denim from Ann Taylor to pair with the button down top to flatter your silhouette. Not only does the medium wash pair well with just about anything, but the pockets on the jeans are also designed to sculpt and shape to your body, according to the brand.
Cole Haan Suede Keira Ballet Flats
A chic pair of flats can go a long way when it comes to your wardrobe. Whether you need an easy shoe for the office or for brunch, Buccio loves these trendy ballet flats that boast a suede upper and comfort footbed.
Steve Madden Three-For-One Leather Belt Pack
Complete the look with this designer accessory. Since all three of the belts in the set are neutral colors, they're easy to integrate into your existing wardrobe and can be worn with anything from slacks to jeans.
Metallic look
Scoop Women's Metallic Turtleneck Sweater
Buccio says that metallics are a big trend in 2023. This bright sweater has just the right amount of shimmer and can easily be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
Gap SoftRib Metallic Turtleneck
This turtleneck is similar to Buccio's pick and it is also available in grey. It's made from a soft fabric that also allows for a bit of stretch, according to the brand.
Scoop Women's Printed Sequin Midi Pencil Skirt
Buccio paired the metallic sweater with a skirt that is equally as shiny. During the colder months, you can wear it with a pair of booties to complete the look. As the weather gets warmer, Buccio found the perfect pair of sandals to wear with it.
Vince Camuto Nanalee Platform Sandal
Buccio added some height to the look with this color-coordinated sandal. The platform heel is stabilized by the ankle strap and heel extender, which give it a sturdy feel.
Dolce Vita Wessi Platform Sandals
Looking for even more of a platform feel? These open-toe sandals feature a thicker platform, which balances out the look of the shoe.
Classic men's look
Lauren Ralph Lauren Men's Wool Ultraflex Plaid Blazer
Need a look that will never go out of style? This classic blazer has a sleek look but is designed to offer some stretch as you navigate about the day. The simple look is one that'll last the test of time.
Old Navy Men's Turtleneck Jersey-Knit T-Shirt
Another timeless piece Buccio worked into the look is this classic turtleneck. While she chose the dark heather gray style for this look, you can also shop it in navy or wish bone.
Old Navy Men's Wow Straight Five-Pocket Pants
These straight jeans are made from 100% cotton, so they're perfect for the guy who prefers a nice pair of slacks, without the stretch. They're as durable as jeans but are a little easier to dress up, as the brand puts it.
Deer Stags Men's Mark Dress Comfort Lace-Up Boot
Whether he needs footwear for the office or everyday wear, these casual boots are a stylish pick. From the contrast detailing to the faux leather upper, there's a lot to love about them.
Men's leather look
H&M Bomber Jacket
Buccio picked this bomber jacket to complete the look. It's both stylish and functional — it is outfitted with two diagonal side pockets and features an inner pocket with a snap fastener, too.
H&M Relaxed Jeans
The acid wash on these jeans gives them a bit of a retro feel, but they are right on trend, Buccio says. They feature a zip fly and boast a relaxed fit from the thigh down, according to the brand.
Samtree Unisex Baseball Cap
This baseball cap isn't your average accessory. The sleek outer makes it not only a standout option, but it matches the bomber jacket, too.
H&M Chunky Sneakers
The chunky soles on these sneakers gives them a retro feel that perfectly completes the look. Plus, the neutral color scheme makes them perfect for year-round wear.
H&M Chunky Chelsea Boots
Chelsea boots are versatile in any wardrobe, but this pair feels a bit elevated thanks to the chunky soles.
