We all have that fashionable friend, the one who looks effortlessly amazing no matter the situation. If you are someone who finds style and fashion to be incomprehensible, you might be wondering: How does she do it?
While everyone is different, many stylish people agree that it is important to build a foundation of staple clothing items in your closet. Ideally, these items should be structured and simple, yet classic, making it easy for you to mix and match, creating several different outfits. If you are just starting your style journey, your basics are a great place to start. Here are 5 essentials every woman should have in their wardrobe to up their style game.
Stretchy and comfy
Especially in the warmer months, it’s important to be able to put together cute outfits without much heavy fabric. Layering can help, but if you’re planning to take off the outer layer, why bring it at all? Tee shirts and tanks can be comfy but often start to look frumpy and wrinkled throughout the day.
That’s where women’s bodysuits come in. These stretchy and comfy one pieces fit like a second skin and look great under a pair of jeans or shorts, perfect for those summer hangs with friends.
LBD
For as long as there has been fashion advice, there has been one clothing essential that has stood the test of time: The little black dress. The little black dress is an amazingly versatile piece of clothing. It can be dressed up for more formal events, or dressed down for a casual cocktail hour.
For those busy days where you don’t have time to change your outfit, the LBD can easily go from office-wear to the perfect outfit for a night out, with a simple switch of accessories. Of course, the little dress doesn’t have to be black. If you love to wear a dress, buy a few different neutral colored dresses to sprinkle throughout your week!
Tailored pants
Even if, as we just said, you love to wear dresses, no wardrobe is complete without a few pairs of well fitting pants. Unless you happen to be a model, pants probably fit you like they do everyone else. They might be a tiny bit too long, or just a smidge too tight.
If you have the time, we strongly recommend getting the pants tailored. It might seem extra, but tailoring can turn a good item of clothing into a great one. They will look amazing, and you’ll feel amazing in them, boosting your confidence wherever you wear them.
Jean jacket
The jean jacket is perfect for spring or fall. It always looks effortlessly cool, and pairs well with almost every color imaginable. It is one of those clothing items that can complete a look, turning some clothes into a proper outfit. Plus, jean jackets look great on people of all genders, so no matter if you like more masculine clothes or more feminine clothes, it can find a place in your wardrobe.
Feeling like you want to add personality to your jacket? Adding custom patches can make you stand out from the crowd without taking away from the jacket’s universal appeal.
Slouchy sweaters
As the weather begins to cool down, you’ll want to transition away from your fun summer wear into your comfy and cozy winter wear. This doesn’t mean that you’ll have to sacrifice your style! For the colder months, instead of tight and airy, you want to go with big, slouchy sweaters. These are easy to throw on over anything that you’re wearing, and are great for wearing at home or out and about. You’ll feel warm and comfortable, and will still look great when you’re hanging out with your friends.
If you’re ready to be the stylish friend instead of just looking at them, get these 5 essentials for your wardrobe as soon as possible!
