20s

Sparkly  Dress 
 
 WHY YOU NEED IT: Your 20s are all about playing as hard as you work—how better to take down the dance floor than in a flapper-style shift with lots of shimmer? Bonus: pop on a plain black blazer for an unexpected daytime combo. 

Leather Jacket




WHY YOU NEED IT: Both warm and stylish, a fitted leather jacket can be layered over jeans or worn as a non-fussy topper for a floor-length look.
