Here’s an excellent shopping goal to have this season and every season: Buy as few items as possible and wear those key items over and over. I’m all about selective shopping, but it can be quite difficult when the internet offers up millions of things to buy. But narrowing it down is somewhat easy when you have brands such as COS, Zara, and Reformation. All three are killing it this season, and I scrolled through the current stock with the objective of finding pieces that elevate your wardrobe in an instant. It could be a special jacket or coat, a colorful accessory, or an expensive-looking basic, to name a few. And COS, Zara, and Reformation are chock-full of options to bring your outfits to the next (more stylish) level.
Below, you’ll find my current picks for the top nine wardrobe-elevating pieces from COS, Zara, and Reformation, all of which you’ll want to wear again and again. Needless to say, my cart is full. Keep scrolling to shop along with me.
COS
You can’t go wrong with this color combo.
The little black jacket I keep telling myself I need whenever I have “nothing to wear”.
The perfect pop of color in the color of the season.

A chic, subtle way to wear the cobalt trend.
Love the row of covered buttons and the funnel neck.

Here’s how to make your black coats look more exciting.
Zara
Lovely for day or night.
The most elegant version of a T-shirt imaginable.
A low-key, easy way to embrace the toggle-button trend.
The fact that they’re eel-embossed makes them even better.
Yes, you need a purple sweater ASAP.
There are a million ways to wear this elegant long scarf.
I predict this will be sold out the next time I click on the link.
Just add kitten heels and a cashmere sweater.
Just a really great pair of boots (that look far more expensive than they are).
Reformation
When you don’t know what to wear, just wear this.
The newest Olina color is holiday-ready.
Nothing elevates an outfit like fancy footwear.
The knee length and wrap detail sets this apart from other lace-trimmed skirts.
What could possibly make everyone’s favorite Reformation cardigan better? Adding some fur.
