The Pencil Skirt has been a staple to looking sleek and stylish for years. It’s considered a staple because it can be dressed for the office with a crisp button-down shirt, styled for a  night out with an embellished top and blazer, or dressed down for an afternoon out shopping with a v-neck t-shirt and comfortable flats.

Which bring us to out next staple item: comfortable flats. Sure, heels are great, but lets be real, flats are better. Flats are great because you can pretty much wear them with anything and still look great. And there are so many varieties in the style, that you can basically have a pair for any occasion.

Another staple item is a day dress. Women really don’t wear dresses like they used to in the 50s and back. Nowadays we tend to reserve dresses for special occasions or view them as evening wear. But it’s nice, and comfortable, to have a casual day dress to wear if you’re sick of the jeans and t-shirt look.

Right now, there are several different styles and brands of boots that are really in style. With so many quirky and fun options, it’s easy to find a pair (or five) perfect for you.

First on the list is the winter-friendly over-the-knee boot, which keeps your warm without looking too bulky for skirts and dresses. But if you’re more into pants, over-the-knee boots also look great tucked into jeans and leggings. These boots are available in a variety of heel sizes too, so you can balance fashion and comfort to your liking.

I hate to do it, but since we’re listing the most popular types of boots, there’s one brand I can’t help but mention: Uggs. These boots are super warm and durable, especially in the winter. You can choose from various colors such as camel, tan, black, and even white. Honestly, white seems like an odd choice to me considering how slushy and dirty the streets can get after it snows. But hey, to each her own!

Looking for something a little sexier? Check out a dressy leather zip boot, a fashionable choice that will have you feeling hot and looking the part.

Most important, you need to find a boot that fits your needs. Into comfort and warmth? Slip into some Uggs. All about looking chic? Try leather.

As with most other accessories, hats come in a variety of shapes, materials, and styles, so you can find the perfect look for every climate and occasion. A lot of the hats that were once worn primarily by men are now being marketed to women, and vice versa.

The most popular hats for women are cloche hats (pictured), Fedoras (yes, even for women!), berets, straw hats and sarge or cadet caps. You can also purchase hats as part of a pair or set, which might include gloves and/or a scarf. This is a nice choice if you’re a fan of matching outfits!

Some people look really good in hats and some people, such as myself, simply cannot pull it off! It doesn’t matter what kind it is, I simply do not look good. It’s somewhat annoying considering all the cute styles available out there – I hope you have better luck!
