Elevated Essentials with Saks
If there’s one simple way to build a fun and functional wardrobe, it’s by adding elevated essentials. It can be easy for most of us to shop for basics, such as a plain white tee or a little black dress, but there comes a time when we need to add a bit more interest to define our style. I always know I can scroll Saks online and find fresh new essentials that will step up my style for the season.
Striped sweaters aren’t going anywhere, but the cut, fit, and detail of them definitely matter. This Rag & Bone cardigan is the perfect example of how to update a striped sweater. I also love how versatile you can make it by wearing it buttoned, unbuttoned, or thrown over your shoulders. I paired it with one of my favorite classic style jeans from Frame and these suede pumps, which will be perfect going into Fall too.
Now let’s take a moment for this A.L.C. jumpsuit…she’s chic, she’s flirty, and still a classic! I would style this with a closed toe pump for the office, or a fun metallic heel to go out for dinner.
There are so many ways you can elevate how you wear denim. This denim maxi dress is just what I needed to feel trendy, yet subtle and comfortable. I love the idea of throwing a blazer over it, or even dressing it down with sneakers.
There’s nothing more essential than a black dress in all seasons! All three of these can be worn for many different occasions- work, weddings, night out, travel- but they are so much more than just your average basic black dress. The Alice + Olivia asymmetric midi dress ranks as my personal favorite!
