Dawn loves a chunky scarf in the winter, and this season she has her eyes set on this wrap style that comes in various patterns. “Whites, grays, cool blues, burgundy, emerald green, and creams are great winter colors,” she says. She shared that another common print you see during this time of the year is plaid, which this scarf incorporates. wear it around your neck or drape it over your head for extra warmth or in lieu of a hat.

Layers are essential in the winter, and this long-sleeve bodysuit is a key one to start with, according to Dawn. “A fitted turtleneck is an easy piece that will keep you warm and is a great base piece to layer underneath jackets,” she shares. This bodysuit accentuates your shape without feeling tight and can be worn seamlessly with leggings, trousers, or a skirt.
Dsane Leather Gloves

“I love leather gloves that are warm, easy to move around in, and tech-friendly,” Dawn says. And this leather pair from Amazon checks off all three boxes thanks to its flexible fit, cashmere lining, and touch-screen-friendly design. Dawn later added that the leather gloves are an easy way to add a sleek and elegant flair to your overall look.
X-Cheng Fleece-Lined Tights

Dawn finds that tights are one of the easiest wardrobe pieces to dress up or down, thanks to their versatile design that looks good with skirts but can also be worn as a base layer under jeans. “Fleece-lined tights are also a game changer to wear [under] your shorts, skirts, or dresses, [and] still feel warm.” This number-one best-selling pair on Amazon is her go-to pick thanks to their warm fabric and comfortable fit.

Speaking of base layers, Dawn also recommends elevated sweaters like this fitted turtleneck top. The sweater is made with a blend of soft and stretchy materials like viscose and nylon, so you can move around comfortably. The sweater’s ribbed pattern adds a chic touch, instantly dressing up any outfit.
Urban CoCo Mini Skirt

Dawn finds that some capsule wardrobe pieces can be worn well beyond winter too, like this flared mini skirt. “A mini skirt could also be used all year depending on how you style everything,” Dawn says. She recommends pairing it with tights and tall boots for a more formal look. And, there are 20 colors to choose from, including classic hues like black, gray, and white.

Dawn knows that trends come and go, but she’s all for adding one into your wardrobe as long as it aligns with your style. And since knee-high boots are having a moment this year, you can try this chunky Dream Pairs style that has secured more than 3,800 five-star ratings from shoppers. One shopper wrote that the boots “feel like they’re worth more than they are.” The shopper later noted that the boots also have good traction and keep their feet warm.

While Dawn loves a sweater, she also loves a thick sweater dress, like this knit midi style that looks sophisticated. The dress is designed with a V-neck, wrap closure, and a belt along the waist, and hits just below the knees. While it can be worn with ballet flats for work, or heels for a date night, Dawn says the dress can be worn more casually, too, when paired with tights and loafers or combat boots.
