THE EXPERT: Caroline Maguire, fashion director at Shopbop MARIE CLAIRE: How versatile is a sheer dress? CAROLINE MAGUIRE: It’s one of the most multipurpose pieces in my closet.

THE EXPERT: Richard Ives, owner of vintage store Pilgrim New York MARIE CLAIRE: How is a logo belt a game-changing styling tool? RICHARD IVES: A designer bag can easily elevate any outfit, and so does a logo belt. A vintage Chanel belt can make a white T-shirt and black pants a complete “Chanel” look.

Both new and vintage, they are less of a commitment (money- and brand-wise) than a designer bag. They can be more whimsical or subtle too. MC: What belt trends do you foresee? RI: Maybe it’s time for the double-wrap belt to…

INVEST IN A QUALITY MATTRESS When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, “the mattress is the most important element,” says Kraiem. “My key recommendation is to source one from a company with a good, long-lasting reputation, like Stearns & Foster.” LAYER YOUR LIGHTING Kraiem favors a mix, from table lamps and reading sconces to recessed lights and chandeliers.
