Our winter fashion staples often end up being the basics we repurpose at holiday parties, and more often than not, they're noticed by fellow guests. From standout pieces like gold, architectural drop earrings or that snazzy silk dress to more tried-and-true clothing (think: lug-sole boots and leather pants), we consider them all seasonal essentials. Some of these picks were definitely splurge-worthy, like our fashion director's luxe Manolo Blahnik mules or style director's eye-catching Wandler bag, but as our editors promise ahead, they'll get the most wear this time of year, and they never fail to instill a little boost of confidence.
While these pieces are less trendy than some of the other ones we own, we don't know what we'd do without them. Ahead, shop our most valued purchases at a range of price points, and decide what's missing from your wardrobe.
