With an eye on Paris street style as of late to see what savvy sartorial choices are made to both stay warm and effortlessly chic, as well as sticking to classic colors and cuts for many years of use and pairing with other items, my interest this month is on winter pieces to love that will last.

And since designer items from trusted brands often come at a premium luxury price, I did some shopping at Vestiaire Collective, a trusted online consignment shop that is currently having its winter sale, to pick up those hard-to-find finishing-touch accessories that will dependably work year after year not only because they are classic in their design, but made to last.

Currently, when it comes to my own winter wardrobe, I am looking to add a few pants that are both flat-front, and easy to dress up or down. I found a great selection available at lovely approachable prices at Hugo Boss, and shopped them below – you will find three different styles. I also love a blazer wrapped with a belt, and because the belt takes center stage in such an outfit, I found a belt that definitely can hold its own without being too much.

And of course, three new, or recently released books, two novels and one non-fiction that I think you will love are also paired below. Let’s start perusing!
