Chain store round-up: 10 great pieces to add to cart

An oversized denim jacket is a key wardrobe staple this season and for the price, fit and style of this Cotton On version, it’s a no-brainer. You could pair this with jeans for that Canadian tuxedo look, or pop it on over a dress or with a skirt for a great transseasonal topper.

Love the simple silhouette of this jumper, and the zip detail. The textural element meanwhile, elevates it from a garden variety sweater. Pair it with jeans, or your favourite loungewear.

I’m really loving how great an addition a beautiful blouse is to a winter wardrobe. The self-covered buttons and the billowy sleeves add a perfect finishing touch while the mushroom hue is versatile enough to be paired with so many different pieces.

Use this jumper to add a splash of colour to an outfit. I always rely on a vibrant knit to lift my look and mood, and the comfy, baggy shape of this sweater makes it an ultra comfy go-to.

I’m a huge fan of the versatility of a ribbed dress — elevate it with some accessories and you’ve created a going out look. But add a pair of sneakers and you can turn it into a comfy outfit made for a busy day out.

I’ve been loving how far flats have come of late. They’re not an equal rival to heels, but infinitely more comfortable. The elevated finishes on this particular pointed flat make it a worthy addition to any wardrobe, whether it be to wear to work or for a night out.

I’m loving the 70s vibe of this collared shirt. The ever-so-soft hue makes it perfect for pairing with a multitude of pieces, and it can easily be dressed up or down.

I don’t think you can ever have too main pairs of jeans, particularly when it comes to black denim. Loving the slightly more lived in wash of this pair, and the fact it can be worked and reworked in so many different ways.

I’m all about a shirt dress and a huge fan of denim, so when they combine I can’t recommend it highly enough. Pair a dress like this with crisp white sneakers and you’re set.

Black blazers are a forever staple, and a jacket in a more relaxed fit, and slightly longer length such as this will see you through many an occasion. Wear it casually with jeans and a white tee or use it to pop on over a dress in chillier temperatures. Either way it’s a win-win purchase.
