Trench Coats: Whether full-length or cropped, trench coats are a versatile staple found everywhere. Usually in tan, they can be layered over almost anything and are perfect for commuting to work, hitting a fitness class or making a statement as the centerpiece of an outfit. 

Funnel Neck Jackets: These jackets are everywhere this season. Their high-neck design keeps you warm while adding a sleek, modern touch to any outfit. 

Oversized Blazers: A street style favorite for years, oversized blazers remain popular. Layered over sweatshirts or casual wear, they effortlessly combine comfort with sophistication. 

Popular Prints: 

• Cow Print: Making bold statements, cow print is becoming a standout pattern this season.

• Flannel: Mainly in brown tones, flannel shirts are classic as a layering piece or tied around the waist.

• Argyle: Timeless argyle patterns are making a strong comeback and are expected to carry through into winter.

Accessories:

• Trader Joe's Canvas Bags: Believe it or not, these bags are everywhere—and not just used for groceries!

• Corded Headphones: Proving that some classics never go out of style.
