Halpern also says that leather pants are a must-have in anyone's closet. "Leather pants are a closet staple because they can be dressed up or down seamlessly," she says.

NDZ/Star Max/GC Images Wilson previously told PEOPLE that she began to develop her personal style after she moved to Nashville to pursue music."I realized really quick that as a female in country music, it does not matter if you have a decent voice or if you’re a decent songwriter," she said. "You gotta do something that is outside the box to get noticed,” she says. “I thought, ‘What could I wear that would make me feel like I could take on the whole dang world?’ For me, it was bell-bottoms.” The singer shared that her mom Michelle bought her her first pair of bell-bottoms — a blue leopard print variety — when she was 8 or 9 years old.

I loved the way that they made me feel. They made me feel sassy and like I could do anything.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
