Here's an excellent shopping goal to have this season and every season: Buy as few items as possible and wear those key items over and over. I'm all about selective shopping, but it can be quite difficult when the internet offers up millions of things to buy. But narrowing it down is somewhat easy when you have brands such as COS, Zara, and Reformation. All three are killing it this season, and I scrolled through the current stock with the objective of finding pieces that elevate your wardrobe in an instant. It could be a special jacket or coat, a colorful accessory, or an expensive-looking basic, to name a few. And COS, Zara, and Reformation are chock-full of options to bring your outfits to the next (more stylish) level.
Below, you'll find my current picks for the top nine wardrobe-elevating pieces from COS, Zara, and Reformation, all of which you'll want to wear again and again. Needless to say, my cart is full. Keep scrolling to shop along with me.
