5 Basics You Need In Your Wardrobe

There’s nothing quite like a unique piece of clothing to stand out, but you shouldn’t overlook staple clothing items — you’ll find that no matter how many trips to the donation bin you take, these are the clothing items that will always make the cut!

A classic pair of denim jeans, neutral tops, shoes that go with anything, and a trusty layering shirt are all wardrobe basics you should always make room for in your closet. 

What makes these staple clothing items so special? Stick around, and we’ll tell you!  

A Pair of Denim Jeans 

Denim jeans are a versatile and durable wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Denim also brings a neutral color to the table that pairs well with various other colors and patterns, making it easy to create a wide range of outfits. Owning a pair of denim jeans is a practical and stylish choice that can serve as the foundation for so many different outfits. 

There’s a reason denim jeans have been around since the late 1800s and show no sign of going out of style anytime soon! 

The best part about denim jeans is that they are made from a sturdy cotton twill fabric that can withstand daily wear and tear, and they come in various styles and cuts to suit different body types. 

The different styles are:

• Straight Leg Jeans: These jeans have a straight leg from the waist to the ankle, making them a versatile and classic choice for many body types.
• Skinny Jeans: These jeans are tight-fitting from the waist to the ankle, making them a popular choice for a more modern and trendy look.
• Bootcut Jeans: These jeans have a wider opening at the ankle, allowing them to fit over boots. They are an excellent option for those who want to balance a slim fit with a bit more room at the bottom.
• Wide Leg Jeans: These jeans have a wider leg than classic straight-leg jeans, making them a stylish and comfortable option for those who want a more relaxed fit.
• High-Waisted Jeans: These jeans sit higher on the waist, providing a retro and flattering look.
• Distressed Jeans: These jeans have a worn-in, vintage look and are often characterized by rips, tears, and frayed edges.
• Raw Denim Jeans: These jeans are made from untreated, raw denim, typically more stiff and rugged than traditional denim.
• Relaxed Jeans: These jeans have a looser fit and are designed to be comfortable and easy to move in.
• Boyfriend Jeans: These jeans are designed to have a slouchy, relaxed fit, similar to a man’s jeans.

If you have a hard time deciding, you can always get a pair of each — we won’t judge! This list is just an example of the versatility you can find in this clothing category. 

A Basic White Top 

There’s something special about a classic white tee that you just can’t beat. The amount of outfits you can create from such a staple clothing item is incredible, not to mention this is a piece of clothing that will never go out of style. 

A white top can be paired with various bottoms, such as jeans, skirts, and pants, making it an excellent option for casual and formal events. 

A Versatile Pair of Shoes 

We all have that go-to pair of shoes that just go with anything. A formal dinner? A casual night out? Work? No problem. A versatile pair of shoes makes it easy to put together an outfit for any occasion and can save you tons of space in your wardrobe — unless you really like buying new shoes, which we don’t blame you for. 

A versatile pair of shoes looks different for everyone, depending on your most common outfit styles. 

A Day-to-night Dress

How nice would it be to go from work to running errands and then going out with friends without a single outfit change? We call this a day-to-night dress, one of the most essential pieces you can have in your closet. 

A day-to-night dress usually comes in a simple, classic, and elegant style, versatile enough to be dressed up or down with the right accessories. For example, a dress with a simple silhouette, such as a shift or wrap dress, can be paired with flat shoes and minimal jewelry for a daytime look and then dressed up with heels and statement jewelry for an evening look. 

This type of dress eliminates the need for coordinating separate pieces, saving time and effort when getting ready for the day or evening — mid-length dresses are the most popular option for a day-to-night dress. 

Neutral Accessories 

Neutral accessories in your wardrobe can be very beneficial because they can easily complement all the different outfit types. Neutral colors such as black, white, beige, and gray are versatile and can match most other colors, making them perfect for pairing with your favorite staple clothing items! 

You can wear neutral accessories such as belts, handbags, shoes, and jewelry with both casual and formal outfits. They can be easily mixed and matched with different outfits to create different looks. 

A Halftee 

The staple of any versatile outfit: the Halftee! This list wouldn’t be complete without it, and they are the perfect layering shirt for your outfits, no matter what season it is! A Halftee gives you extra layers for a modest look without sacrificing comfort or style. On top of that, they come in so many different colors that you can’t go wrong with them.
