TWENTY-TWO(22) WARDROBE ESSENTIALS FOR WOMEN

While most of us have swapped our jeans and dresses for sweatpants and slippers for the time being, a solid wardrobe necessity is forever. Let’s face it- a reliable clothes-based wardrobe will make it easier for you to maintain a good sense of style. That’s why the concept of a wardrobe staple is so long-lasting: a wardrobe built on a streamlined option of items make day-to-day dressing infinitely easy.

There is hardly a woman out there who hasn’t stood in front of her closet, confused about what to wear. But with the right wardrobe essentials, you don’t need to worry about all that.

If you have staple clothing pieces as the “foundation” of your wardrobe, you will always be able to create one that you like.

These staples will be different for every woman because we all have different body types,style personalities,lifestyles and preferences.

BUILD YOUR WARDROBE USING YOUR WARDROBE ESSENTIALS

A wardrobe that you put together on the basis of carefully selected pieces makes getting dressed every day so much easier.

So, where should you start when it comes to choosing the essence of your closet?

Below we will list 10 pieces that you can use as a starting point. As mentioned earlier, yours may be slightly different.

It is worth investing more in your foundation because these can form the backbone of your closet for years to come. So, look for classic items of good quality. Think about the cost of each wear and tear, not the cost of buying it separately.

Once you have the essentials figured out, you’ll be able to “color” with hero pieces, more colors and more accessories. Having your important pieces in place will make sure that you can always mix and match easily.

WARDROBE ESSENTIALS- TOPS

A SOLID COLORED T-SHIRT

It is usually recommended to have a pure white T-shirt in your closet. And, I do not disagree as the white T-shirt can be a very useful wardrobe staple. However, it doesn’t have to be white.The solid color tee can provide a useful background to show off any statement jewelry you have.

If, for example, you have a great red necklace, then choose a blue, navy or gray T-shirt that allows you to show off beautifully.
WHITE BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT

The white button-down shirt offers unlimited outfit possibilities.

There are so many ways to wear it. You can pair it with a pair of jeans, blazer and ballet flats to create a classic look, or wear it under a sweater or dress to make your outfit more interesting.
CASHMERE SWEATER

Cashmere sweaters add luxury to your most casual outfit, making them the perfect choice for your wardrobe essentials. Pair it with jeans and ankle booties, or you can wear a leather or pleated skirt at night. You can also wear a white shirt (like the one above) underneath it.
ASYMMETRICAL TOPS

Asymmetry can make a simple outfit look more interesting. It also helps you to tone down your body parts that you are not so keen on and play what you like.

WARDROBE ESSENTIALS- BOTTOM
A CLASSIC SKIRT

Classic skirts mean different things to different women. But most women will fit both classic styles. Choose a pencil or A-line to flatter your figure.

You can choose a patterned skirt to wear your plain blouse, or a regular skirt to Wear your patterned tops. And, of course, you can try some pattern mixing.
WIDE-LEG BLACK PANT

Whether you wear them for work, or you dress them up for the evening, a classic pair of black pants will never go out of fashion.
DARK DENIM JEAN

Finding the perfect jeans is not easy. However, I definitely recommend that you get a dark wash pair.

Not only do they work in a huge range of scenes, but they are also very flattering. Also, they are less likely to stain, so if you invest in a pair a little more expensive than the standard, they may last longer.

WARDROBE ESSENTIALS- DRESSES
A WRAP DRESS

Wrap skirts are one of the wardrobe must-haves for everyone, regardless of your body type.

Wrap dress defines your waist due to the waist tie and lengthens your figure due to the V-neck. It skims over your hips and thighs, making it a pear-shaped flattering choice.

Not only that, but you can wear a wrap dress for almost any occasion. Depending on the fabric you choose, you can wear it for formal events such as work, casual lunch or wedding.
AN EVENING DRESS

Whether you go out often, or not at-all, everyone needs a dress that you can take out of your closet for a formal event in a short time and know that it will look great. The classic black cocktail dress will see you through most events. You can add silk wrap or some great jewelry to make it look different every time.

OUTER WEAR
BLAZER

Blazer is another of these pieces that are so versatile. Choose a timeless color or pattern that will be something you will want to wear for years.

You can add to your jeans with a T-shirt and a pair of sneakers or high heels to instantly enhance your outfit, or you can wear it for a night-out or work.

You will want to choose a style that bites at the waist for the most flattering effect, unless you have a rectangular figure and you want to play with your androgynous figure with boyfriend style, loose fit.
DENIM JACKET

Denim jackets are always in trend as they exude a relaxed coolness.

From Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, everyone wears them.

You can wear it in your summer clothes to make sure you can still wear your lighter clothes in spring and fall when the weather is a little cooler.
FAUX OR LEATHER JACKET

Leather moto jacket is a classic that exudes a certain rock star cool. This is a go-to piece for women who have a rock-and-roll style personality.

You can wear jeans and sneakers on casual days.

However, you can also use moto jackets to reinforce and add unexpected elements to clothing such as long skirts or pleated skirts with sweaters and booties. In short, it goes with almost everything.

Not only that, but leather jackets can actually get better with age, so you’re sure to keep it for years if you choose a classic, well-fitting style.

You don’t have to choose the classic black. You can choose a lighter color that may be more flattering close to your face, which you can wear in spring and summer.
