Navy Blue
On Wright: TWP blazer; Frame jeans
“Right about now, I start thinking about wearing less black and more navy blue. You can’t ever go wrong with a navy blazer and a darker jean. These are sophisticated classics you’ll always feel (and look) good in. Plus, navy is a universal color that looks great on everyone and works any time of year.” — Wright

Leopard Anything

“Leopard is having a moment (it never really went away), but now, it’s showing up in many of the latest designer collections. Recently, I spotted a beautiful Valentino coat with bow details, and now, I’m on the lookout for something similar but more affordable! Whether you go for a shoe or accessory or add a piece of clothing like a jacket or dress, leopard always adds a little interest to the outfit.” — Wright

If you’re traveling or running errands, you’ll feel a little more put-together in a matching set. Plus, you can wear the pieces separately so easily!” — Wright
