A neutral blazer is perfect to elevate any look! Go with a classic navy, or swap for a beige, black, camel or olive blazer depending on your color season. You can even try out different fabrics, like linen! Pair with a jumpsuit or slacks and tank top.

A neutral cardigan is another year-round closet staple that you’ll see paired up in many of our looks. Short, long, bug buttons or no buttons- ther are so many options to choose from for the perfect look for YOU.

Bright top are a hot item this season, and it gives you endless options! Bright green, magenta, teal, orange and even neon shades are perfectly paired with any color denim.

A denim jacket is one of the best investments you can make in your closet staples- year-round!! Depending on your preference, choose from dark, medium or light washes.

Florals for the win! We bet you can find the perfect floral top at any of your favorite stores. If you’re not a fan of florals, try a geometric or striped pattern in a color palette that you love. Pair up with denim or chambray bottoms, and add a neutral cardigan as a layer!

Another bright we love! It may get chilly in the office or home when the AC is blasting, so this light layer adds a pop of color without feeling frumpy. We love this sweater paired up with a striped dress or white denim!
