Pencil Skirt, $24.95, hm.com; Top with Pockets, $29.95, hm.com
Matching sets have become a huge trend and a great way to do it in these cooler months is a matching sweater set. I love this utilitarian green—it’s a neutral without being black.
Linen Trenchcoat, $99, hm.com
This slouchy trenchcoat is so chic; it’s a piece that you can throw over almost any outfit as well as a great layering piece.
Patterned Scarf, $9.95, hm.com
A scarf is such an easy outfit update, and this classic print will elevate any outfit. Tie it in a knot or loosely hung for a more casual look.

You can never go wrong with throwing on a white sneaker—you’ll be surprised by how many outfits it works with, including skirts and dresses!
