Three Instant Wardrobe Updaters

1. Gloves, socks, and hosiery. "For accessories, short and long gloves are big. Hosiery too--socks especially," Francis says. "You don't just have to do black hosiery with your dress. Rotate in prints and textures. Short socks can go with a sandal or boot, a tall sock with a bootie or sandal."

2. Capes. "As for coats, a wool cape is an easy way to update the wardrobe, and it goes really well with a high-waisted trouser."
