Sweaters:
Beginning with the most popular known staple, the sweater. A chunky knit sweater is truly an essential clothing piece to own during the winter because it keeps you warm and is easy to layer. Although, usually I find that these pieces are uncomfortable and not always flattering. So, to switch it up, I would recommend looking for a softer knit fabric and sizing up. An oversized sweater is way more comfortable than one that hugs, plus you can either wear it as a dress with leggings or tights, or you can tuck it in to a pair of jeans.
Furthermore, I would also look at buying them in several colors. Of course neutrals are always a go-to but I would also go for pastels, such as hues of pinks or blues. Winter is gloomy enough, try to brighten it up this season with some colorful clothing.
Additionally sweater cardigans are another one of my favorites as the buttons make for a cute detailing. Some of these pieces can be a bit boring or granny-looking so I would stick to the color them and go for either a cropped or oversized pair.

Long-Sleeve Layering Top Or Bodysuit
A long-sleeve top or bodysuit is a great staple piece to have because it can easily be layered. Although, if you’re anything like me and not into the standard layering top, switch it up. An asymmetrical or cut-out design gives the basic long-sleeve a bit of detail, and just something different. You can pair these timeless pieces with literally anything, a mini skirt with tights, or jeans. Top it off with a warm, stunning coat of your style, a scarf and you are good to go.
