Like many of us, Sandy Koszarek is planning her winter wardrobe as we head deeper into November. For the former VIP Nordstrom stylist (and Stylish Sandy founder), versatility remains essential—easy-to-style pieces that worked for her clients are just as crucial in her own closet.

There are seven trends Koszarek is prioritizing to style regularly with her outfits. Below, you'll find the boot shapes that matter, the best outerwear silhouettes, the denim cut du jour, and more. Per usual, there's also visual and shopping inspiration throughout. Fun fact, you're even going to see some early Black Friday deals!

Cashmere Sweaters

"I love wearing cashmere sweaters in the winter! I usually stick with neutrals and chocolate brown, but I'm adding a little purple this year, too. I'm especially loving brushed cashmere for its beautiful texture and the way it adds a little something extra to an outfit, whether I'm wearing it with jeans, trousers, or a slip skirt."
