Having wardrobe essentials is kind of important.
And especially when there are so many fashion trends that might end up being a waste of your money.
I mean, whenever I go to the mall, I’m amazed at how many outfits there are where I find myself wondering why anyone would buy (or design) them.
It reminds me of how I would look at clothing from the decades past and make fun of the horrible fashion trends. And now I’m wondering how often I’ll look back at the different styles that came and went in my teens and 20’s… and cringe.
Thankfully though, there are so many pieces that are timeless or have the potential to go through the decades.
They’re the wardrobe staples, and while there are a lot more than three, I decided I’d give you a quick and simple list of pieces you can easily buy to round out your wardrobe.
JUMP TO SECTION:
Blouses (The Right Ones)
When buying a blouse, you want to take into mind that the two shades, light blue and white, make it the most versatile.
It’s true that you could buy a yellow or pink blouse and have it work with a couple pairs of pants, but you still need to remember that you want your blouses to go with as many outfits as possible.
So here are a few ways you can integrate a blouse into your wardrobe!
- A cute blouse that hangs nicely over a pair of colorful pants or some great jeans is a fun and fast way to create an outfit. I usually pair my neutral colored blouse with colorful pants because it makes my outfit pop.
- If you want to look smart, then tucking your blouse into your pants gives you a more touched up look.
- Undo a few buttons to reveal a cute colorful under top.
- Another way you can wear a blouse is with a skirt. Here you can pick almost any style of skirt, whether it’s floral, a bright solid color, or striped.
Brown Tights (Not Black)
I absolutely love brown tights and how they pull an outfit together.
And you might be thinking, “Ok, why brown over black?”
Just trust me with this one, it makes the outfit look so much more put together and looks just a bit more sheer.
Also, they make your outfit more warm instead of giving you cooler tone from the black tights.
Look it up, I’m being serious here, they’re so cute!
How to Wear Them:
- One of my favorite ways to pair it with an outfit is with skirts and dresses (which is obvious). It can also make the outfit look more smart and stylish, so that’s a plus.
- One that I don’t see as often, but I know looks great (from personal experience), is wearing black tights with shorts.
Cable-Knit Sweaters (But Pick the Right One)
This wardrobe essential is great since it’s a look that’ll last through the years.
But just make sure to choose the right one that can be styled in multiple ways, not something in a bright color or trending style.
Here are a few ways you can style your sweater:
- Pair them with skirts, pants, and sometimes dresses.
- You can wear them with a button-up. This is an great way to make you look more stylish and smart.
- A quick tuck in the front is also a nice way to look casually dressed up.
- Layer it with a jacket.
