It’s also the perfect layering piece under any jacket.”—Wright “Shackets have been very popular this fall and winter, and this trend isn’t going away anytime soon. I’m excited to add pretty colors and lightweight versions as we move into 2021.” “Just loving this sweater trend, and moving forward, I’ll look for a short-sleeved version in cashmere or cotton. I’m excited to see the summer versions!” “I’ve started noticing knit skirts lately, and I’m excited to wear this one for the months to come. It’s nice having a change and it’s so versatile.” “I definitely scored with this comfy sweaterdress, but the color is what really caught my eye! Worn with booties and a coat now, I’ll still be loving pink as we head into the new year.” “These cozy matching sets are the stay-at-home look right now! The cardigan and matching pants are super soft, and they’re the perfect outfit to wear when working from home this winter.” “A great style to wear with boots in the winter, knit dresses are a trend that will transition easily into the new year. For spring, pair with sneakers.”
