Fashion Staples for your Wardrobe

Now that we’ve established how to build confidence in finding your fashion style, let’s pivot to

five must have fashion pieces that you should have in your wardrobe. These five pieces are

great bases to establishing a timeless and structured wardrobe. With these options you’ll be

able to mix and match and always have something to wear year round.

White Button Down Shirt

A crisp white button down shirt is a must have in everyone’s wardrobe. Personally, I prefer one

that is a little oversized because it gives you more range to layer, tuck, or pair with other

clothing items. Also, rule of thumb – always steam your shirts – this is a non-negotiable if you

want to look polished and put together.

Pair of Jeans

A well fitted pair of jeans is an ideal option for dressing up or down. The best part is that you’re

not limited to only one style and it’s best to go with the fit that compliments your body the best.

Whether it’s straight, wide legged, skinny or bootcut – you’re bound to find a style that you feel

the most comfortable and confident in. If you’re unsure what style fits your body type the best,

search on Pinterest for inspiration and recreate the look that resonates the best to you.

Little Black Dress

The infamous little black dress or LBD is a classic for a reason. This is another great item that

always works with every single body type because you’re not limited to only one style. Whether

you decide to go with a tailored fit or something more flared/loose – there’s a plethora of

options to choose from. Reminder Pinterest is always our friend when in doubt.

Structured BlazerThis one is definitely a personal favorite – you can never go wrong with a classic structured

blazer and it instantly elevates any outfit. It’s also a great piece because of it’s versatility from

work to social events – it gives just the right amount of sophistication. Blazers are also a

timeless option that will withstand changing fashion trends. Thrift stores are a great place to

find some unconventional pieces at a great price.

Leather Accessories

Do not underestimate accessories – they can instantly transform your look. My go to is a

leather belt, watch, and bag for a solid foundation. Be sure to also invest in great pairs of shoes

– pumps, loafers, or boots – they all help in elevating your overall appearance. Also, always

shop your closet first – most of you probably already own most of these items. If not,

remember that you do not have to break the bank – you can look polished within any budget.
