Looking stylish doesn’t mean emptying your bank account on a new wardrobe each season. Instead, invest in a small amount of timeless staples, which help you look elegant and put-together throughout the year.

Peep-toe shoes can be worn virtually all-year round; the exposed toe is perfect to wear in warmer months, or paired with tights for an updated winter look. To get the most out of this staple, invest in an ultra-comfortable shoe like the Max Studio Xecutive Peep-Toe Pump ($164.95 at Nordstrom.com). And since they match virtually every outfit, there’s no need to regret the splurge.
