Looking to refresh your wardrobe but don’t know where to start? In order to make sure you don’t look in your closet every morning and complain that you have nothing to wear, you NEED to invest in the essential basics. In this post we’ll give you a run down of the best staple pieces and why they’re so important!
Zara Oversized Flowy Blazer
Although you might initially think blazers are only for work, they’re one of the best basics to have in any closet. They can be dressed down and thrown over a sweatsuit to make any lazy day stylish, or paired with some jeans and a t-shirt for a quick business casual look. The possibilities are endless, and oversized blazers give that boxy, edgy look that works on any body type. YES, any body type. When in doubt, keep your layers beneath fitted.
Abercrombie 90s Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans
This one’s a given, but having a good, tailored pair of jeans is crucial to nailing your wardrobe. Our rule of thumb for finding a pair that fits you perfectly is buying a pair that fits the largest part of your body and tailoring the rest to fit.
Wilfred Effortless Pant
Having a nice pair of trousers that you can throw on with any outfit before work or a night out is essential. If you want to look put together, a wide leg trouser is our go-to style, and it hasn’t failed us yet!
Abercrombie Long-Sleeve Ribbed Polo Bodysuit
If you don’t have one yet, GO BUY ONE NOW! Bodysuits can be layered and styled in so many ways, and are arguably one of the best investments for a capsule wardrobe.
H&M Rib Knit Dress
Having a casual dress or jumpsuit that makes you feel GOOD is so important. At this time of year we often opt for a cute knit option.
Abercrombie Vegan Leather Moto Jacket
There are so many options you can choose from, whether it be a textured blazer, a leather moto, a denim jacket or a patterned overcoat, having a fun topper with a bit of texture will make even the most basic of outfits turn heads.
Mango Crossbody Bag with Chain
A small crossbody bag or shoulder bag is a great accessory to toss on when you’re headed out the door. This is a great place to play with a pop of colour or pattern if you’re feeling bold!
L’intervalle Emilia Mid Heel
Heels don’t always have to be formal! If you’re running errands in a pair of jeans, pair them with your favourite heel and see what a difference it makes. Odds are if you’re wearing a simple heel you’ll always look chic.
H&M Platform Chelsea-style Boots
We get that winter sucks and heels aren’t always the most practical. If you’re not the type to wear a chunky boot, swap it out for a pair with a cute heel.
