Well, friends. The new year and peak winter fashion season has arrived! Once the holidays are over, I like to reassess my wardrobe and add a few key pieces to make my closet feel fresh and fun.
These days, my focus is on quality items that will give me a polished yet effortless vibe, and Saks is the perfect place to splurge on a couple of new pieces for the season… especially when they’re having a sale!

5 Key Pieces To Upgrade Your Winter Wardrobe
If you’re also looking for elevated basics to upgrade your winter wardrobe, here are five key pieces you might want to add to your closet.
#1. Luxe Knitwear
This time of year, I find myself transitioning my outfits to more luxe, cozy knits and brighter, bolder colors to brighten up these dreary winter days, and I found some great options in the Saks sale.
Rails has become one of my favorite sweater brands this year, including this Harris Stripe Pullover, and they are showing up strong in the Saks sale! I also found some nice options from Reiss and even Joe’s Jeans.

#2. Premium Denim
Great-fitting jeans are foundational to my wardrobe, and since I wear them daily, premium denim is worth the investment to me. Some of my favorite labels are part of this sale, including Frame, AG, Joe’s Jeans, and more!
I noticed that the AG Gatina wide leg utility jeans that I recently purchased and was planing around with last week are included, as well as the PAIGE Sasha wide leg jeans and AG Mari slim straight ankle jeans. I’m also loving the sleek dark wash trouser jeans pictured above.

#3. Polished Outerwear
We’ve been talking a lot lately here on the blog about not neglecting to consider our outerwear as part of our outfit, and Saks has some really nice pieces on sale right now.

#4. Quality Boots
Quality boots that keep you warm and also looking stylish are a key component to a polished winter wardrobe, and I’m so excited to find Aquatalia, rag and bone, and Stuart Weitzman on sale!

#5. Investment Handbag
An investment bag is probably the single most effective way to upgrade your look. Of course, “investment” means different things to different people, so I tried to include a variety of price points here, from Rebecca Minkoff to Strathberry.

This is sure is a beautiful collection of items you featured!
BTW, I went to your website to view the post since I didn’t receive an email from you today.
Yes, it went out verrrrrry late today. 😬
I hear you on the “chasing your tail” type of day. It’s been an exhausting one for me. Was nice to get your email for a break, and great post!
I’m wanting to buy some new items too. I want some brighter blue to add to brighten up and now that my hair leans grey I like color more. I’ve recently added a coat and sweater but woujd line a new handbag and booties.
I appreciate this collaboration. I was actually at Saks yesterday for an alterations appointment. Our Nordstrom closed during the pandemic and did not reopen so Saks is now my go-to department store for easy online returns, and trying on denim in person. I picked up a pair of the Weitzman 5050 bold short boots. I’ve been wearing my UGG minis for years and thought it was worth upgrading to a similar pair that is more dressy.
Lucky you! My Saks is not at the mall with the other stores, and it’s not convenient to me. But I have had plenty of success with online ordering.
