1. Leggings & Tights: Leggings are the must have fashion item of the season. Leggings under a sweater is such a great dress code. One may choose black, charcoal grey and chocolate brown for winter, and lighter tones for spring and summer.

2. Flats: Your feet will be thankful to you for the gesture. Round-toe flats look great with leggings and tunics.

3. Tunics: Tunics are the perfect dress code for the busy woman as it doesn't involves a lot of mix-n-match. Tunics look great under cardigans as well.

4. Knits: Cozy and comfortable knits are bag in a big way. The oversized cardigans look so chic.

5. Structured Handbags: Slouchy bags and totes have paved the way for structured and beautifully constructed handbags.

6. Long Dresses: The relaxed silhouette is quite in so you can confidently sport anything that's long and baggy.

7. Ankle Bootie or Shoe-boots: Compliment your leggings with ankle booties, as they make you look taller.

8. Trench Coat: Trench coats are great for those sophisticated looks. They look classic and make a great layering piece at the same time.

9. Skinny Pants & Jeans: The ultra baggy top goes well only with skinny bottoms. So include a pair of skinny jeans as well as pants in your wardrobe, this year.
