5 Winter Essentials That Make The Biggest Difference In Your Wardrobe!
If you want to get dressed effortlessly on a daily basis, then it’s important to have a few essentials on hand at all times. After decades of helping women one-on-one in the dressing room, I can confirm that every great outfit starts with the right bottom! It was a concept I tested over a period of years, and I’m happy to share that it works every time. And, though we all need jeans and basic black pants in our rotation, finding ones that super flattering, well-priced and stylish can sometimes be a little tricky.
Today’s post is about 5 winter essentials that make the biggest difference in your wardrobe. I’m talking about the best shapewear to wear under your clothes, a pant you’ll feel really good in, comfy travel outfits and more. Keep reading to see a little style board inspo and a list of my top 5 favorites — I kinda think everyone should own these pieces!
P.S. Every now and then a brand comes along that’s so impressive, it’s hard to believe. Season after season, year after year, Spanx continues to design some of the best well-priced and size-inclusive pieces in the marketplace. Ever since my days as a Nordstrom Stylist, Spanx has been a go-to brand for me. Fast forward to now, and everybody’s still wearing something by Spanx. They just keep getting better and better!

Here are the top 5 favorites I think everyone should own!
#1 – SPANXsmooth PerfectFit Pants – Everyone needs a black pant, and the ponte knit pants by Spanx are really good. If you want to look a little taller, slimmer and more smooth, these are the best ones to try. My three favorite fits are: the Wide Leg Pant, the Slim Straight Pant and the Flare pant. All are super flattering, and believe it or not, they’re machine washable!
#2 – AirEssentials Collection – Super-soft, premium fabric that’s truly comfortable. The AirEssentials collection is a favorite that I’ve talked about for years. My highest recommendations include this half-zip top and matching wide-leg pant, this jumpsuit (or this one), and this new slim flare pant. They’re all perfect for daytime, and they make amazing travel outfits.
#3 – Spanx Shapewear – Shapewear is probably the first thing that most of us think about when it comes to Spanx, and for all the right reasons — it’s SO good! This Mid-Thigh Short is the best, and while I prefer the regular rise, many of my clients love the high rise one.
#4 – Undie-Tectable Panties – These pretty panties are a personal favorite. I helped many friends and clients with them in the dressing room. They make a big difference under dresses, and the light compression smooths your tummy. Plus, who doesn’t like a little lace?
#5 – Hosiery – Right now, hosiery is having a moment (so exciting)! Now, all the cool girls are wearing opaque or sheer tights with slingbacks, boots and even open toe sandals. This more opaque pair is perfect for winter. For something more sheer (which is trending), look at this pair.
What everyone is loving: starting with the perfect black pant

The starting point of every outfit is the right bottom. This is something I learned in the dressing room — and it works every time. Then, once you get the bottom right, simply add a neutral shoe and then pretty much anything on top will look good. There are several styles I’m sharing with you that are best sellers, which means everyone loves them 😉 And, here’s the best part: they’re machine washable, super slimming, and available in petite and tall sizes (all the way to 3x). Talk about size inclusive!
Super Slimming Denim

SPANXshape denim is slimming thanks to a core-shaping technology that hugs your curves. Check out this long length style, this cropped pair and this wide leg jean. All these styles are perfect for travel since they’re hardware free.
Airport Loungewear: AirEssentials are so comfy

Jumpsuits: This sleeveless one is a favorite, and so is this long-sleeved version. And, they come in all sizes — it’s nice to try something a little different 😉
Matching sets: Look at this crew with the new slimmer flare leg pant. Also, love the set I’m wearing above! This striped track jacket and matching pant are amazing as well..
New pieces: Just spotted this wrap cardigan, it’s perfect for travel. I’ve also been wanting to try these Booty Boost leggings everyone is talking about!
We all need shapewear, and Spanx is a household name

Spanx shapewear makes the biggest difference when you wear it under your clothing, they have pieces for all shapes and sizes, and provide smoothing and a little compression exactly where it’s needed. Highly recommend.
