5 Closet Staples Fashion People Rely On Year-Round
Whether you're dressing up for a night out with your besties or a casual day of running errands around the city, a simple black dress can be perfect for so many different situations. Grab a style that fits well with your typical lifestyle needs. You can't go wrong with a classic silhouette, but feel free to experiment.
While I love fun-colored shoes as much as the next person, every fashion person knows it's important to have a couple of black shoe options that can go with multiple looks. It's hard to go wrong with black, as it always lends itself to a refined look no matter how dressed up or casual the outfit is.
While cuts and washes can vary greatly, there's no denying the strong hold jeans have in fashion culture. If you're unsure of what to get, a straight-leg cut in a medium-blue wash can be great for almost any situation. I love to don a wide-leg pair when I'm trying to dress up a denim look. However, light-wash, straight-leg jeans get the most wear in my wardrobe.
Endless possibilities exist with a few great button-down shirts in your wardrobe. At the most basic level, I recommend starting with a slightly oversize white or blue-striped cotton option that's great year-round. As you build out your shirt collection, add a linen style for hot weather and a heavier shirt for cold temperatures.
A pair of trousers has always been a go-to for professional attire for good reason. It's hard to look bad with the right pair of trousers in your closet. I'm partial to trousers with pleats and a wide leg, but feel free to try other varieties as you see fit. I'd change things up by dressing them down with a pair of sneakers every so often.
