Here are the top five items that you'll be using and reusing as the thermometer drops. There's almost no point putting them back in the closet...

After that, it's your choice whether you prefer a lace-up, embellished or simple style. Try to stick to black, as this color is the easiest to pair with any outfit. TURTLENECKS No, turtlenecks aren't for schoolkids! The  oversized/baggy trend  has made its way into our knitwear drawer, and  voilà  the comfy, throw-over-anything turtleneck.
