In case you couldn’t already feel it outside, winter weather has arrived, which means I need to overhaul my capsule wardrobe and beauty routine. The light jackets and moisturizers I wore and used during the fall just won’t cut it anymore. Instead, I want to fill my closet with cozy, hydrating essentials. I’m turning to my favorite It girls for the answer.
Winter’s top fashion trends all feel especially wearable, so it’s not a shock to see my timeline filled with insiders in chic cashmere sweaters, clothes made for layering, and plenty of sneakers. What’s more, I can’t seem to scroll for longer than a minute or two without seeing the triangle scarf trend at work. As for beauty, lip balms and everyday lipstick combinations seem to be at the forefront of everyone’s minds this season—including mine.
If you, too, need new beauty products and a winter wardrobe update, I’ve got you covered. Ahead, I dive into the fashion and beauty essentials that It girls are loving right now.
