Every once in a while, we all need a good closet reset. Out with the old trendy pieces, and in with the new, tried-and-true staples. Some of you may already have a lot of great pieces in your closet, but below we are going to break down the must-have classics you need in your closet.
Let’s kick things off with the Oxford button-down shirt. Fun fact: A button-down is a shirt that has buttons holding down the collar. A button-up does not have buttons on the collar. Either one is a great staple to have in your closet. A crisp dress shirt can be worn in so many ways – wear it open with a tank or t-shirt underneath, over a workout outfit, with trousers, and so many other ways, it just works!
Moving along to more tops and outerwear pieces, the next items include a neutral turtleneck, a cashmere (or lookalike) sweater, an oversized blazer, and a crewneck sweatshirt. All of these pieces will help you dress up or down your look. The sweater and sweatshirt can also help you layer depending on the temps outside.
The next two items on the list are black trousers and a good pair of boyfriend jeans. Both of these are key ingredients to any outfit, and they must be a perfect fit for your body shape! Sizing is key because you have to be comfy in them, and they must bring you confidence.
Let’s talk shoes next. The two essentials in the shoe department are ballet flats and a pair of leather riding boots. Shoes are amazing because they come in so many varieties and styles, but a friendly reminder here: you get what you pay for. For these two pieces, I recommend spending a little more so that they last you forever as long as you take good care of them. A nude flat and black leather riding boots will be your new favorite essential wardrobe editions.
To finish things off, your final essential piece is a very dark pair of black sunglasses. These are perfect and give you that effortless, posh look with any outfit.
These are some easy essentials to elevate your closet. Hope they bring you so many amazing looks for years to come!
