We’re listing the fashion essentials every girl should have in her closet for a classic, timeless wardrobe.
These are definitely investment pieces, so don’t be afraid to splurge on certain ones if the time is right. They’re classics and (if you take care of them) can last for years or even decades. They’ll carry you through work weeks at a big girl job, dinners with significant other’s parents, networking soirees, and so much more.
And without further ado, let’s jump right in!
1. A Little Black Dress
Every magazine, fashion blog, CF writer, and even your mother was right — having a trusty LBD in your closet is crucial for nailing classic style.
2. Basic Cardigans
From thin cashmere to durable cotton to heavy wool knits, there’s a cardigan out there that will perfectly fit your needs no matter the occasion or season.
Pick from different lengths to styles, colours and textures. There’s no basic must-have cardigan style except that you should own several of these.
3. A White Shirt
If you will be working, going to interviews, or even just looking polished for a nice dinner anytime soon, a white shirt should be your new BFF. Tuck it in, leave it out, layer with it, wear an over sized shirt with a belt and make it look like a dress.
4. A Black Trouser
A nice pair of black trousers is definitely another wardrobe must-have. It’s simple and elegant and not only slims the body but also elongates it. Pair with a shirt or a blouse for work and if you’re going to a party then a nice sequined top with heels will do the trick.
I mean do I even need to explain why I think this is a must-have wardrobe basic? It’s simple, works with everything and anything and definitely a must-have when you’re going on vacation.
6. Denim Jackets
They have a place in a modern fashion girl’s wardrobe! In fact, they’re a must if you want to get that classic style. You can style it with a summer dress or a basic tee for that perfect outfit upgrade.
7. A Wrap dress
This silhouette is sort of a magical one and just seamlessly sort of works on all body types. Dress it up with a pair of pumps or dress down with a pair of sneakers.
In addition to your basic black and white tee, I feel like a striped long sleeves tee is a must-have essential. It works so well when tucked into skinny jeans and layered with a blazer
8. A Skinny Jeans
I don’t think anything beats owning a pair of skinny jeans. I tend to wear them to work and even go out to a party or dine in them. This item is super versatile and works on any body type and is definitely a must-have wardrobe basic. Just make sure to find one with a great fit.
9. All White Sneakers
Yes, I said sneakers. Trust me on this. They are a classic style staple in 2021 and show no signs of going away. Once you get a pair of all-white sneakers, you’ll wonder why you didn’t buy them sooner.
The number of ways you can wear a simple pair of classic white sneakers is virtually endless.
10. A Jumpsuit or Dungaree
Who doesn’t love a piece you can literally throw on and go? Just pick a style from the selection and give your wardrobe the glam makeover it needs.
10. A Tank top
I love using these with layers and given how warm it gets I don’t like wearing full sleeve tops and this serves as a great substitute. Wear them with cardigans, blazers, denim jackets etc and circulate between different kinds of bottoms, because this item works with EVERYTHING!
Do you have all of these pieces? Some of them? Can you think of any basic fundamental pieces that we left out? Are these items just your style, or do you prefer edgier, trendier, more urban looks?
