It’s always nice to start off a new year with a few new classics added to the closet. Pieces that can be mixed and matched with what you already own and that can be worn time and time again. I recently posted 2 looks that mix the old with the new. The first is this recent winter daily look, centered around a classic Max Mara coat and crop wide leg pants. The second is a black and white daily look, playing off a classic Chanel winter white double breasted coat and black leather pants. Both looks include the same cream knit sweater with slightly full sleeves and small tan bag – two current favorites. If you’re searching for similar styles but at a lower price point, I’ve recreated each style at 1/2 the price below…
