Fashion neccesities for every wardrobe
These are the basics that belong in every wardrobe. THse are classics that go with everything and once you have them you can start buliding your wardrobe to add more trendy pieces. I learned this in fashion school and wanted to share it with you guys!
Every wardrobe should have these basic items in the fall and winter:
* Warm classic coat in a dark colour like grey or black. Peacoats are good. Depending on where you live a raincoat might be all you need.
* Dressy boots with a heel for days and nights out, or depending on your job, you can wear them to work too.
* Warm, flat bottom boots ( like UGGS) if you live in a cold climate. You can obviously skip this if you live somewhere like Florida.
*Jeans, get 3 or 4 pairs and vary the wash so it doesn't look like you are wearing the same pair everyday. Go for good fit and quality
*Sweaters 3or 4 sweaters in different colours. Make sure you have at least one really warm one if you live somewhere cold
* One little black dress
* One black skirt
*White button down shirt
*Black leggings
* Two or three t shirts
* A dressy top for going out. You can wear it with the jeans or black skirt
For spring and summer you should have:
* At least one pair of lighter coloured jeans ( the really dark wash denim is supposed to be for winter)
* Light coloured leggings such as white, light grey etc
* 2 pair of carpis or bermuda shorts ( or one of each is good)
*light coloured mini skirt( denim is good). How short you go is up to you, it doesn't HAVE to be a mini if you aren't comfortable in them.
* A light hoodie for casual days ( I suggest a juicy terry cloth zip up)
* A light jacket such as denim. You can dress it up or down.
* 1 pair of denim shorts
* 1 pair of cotton shorts
* 2 or 3 t- shirts
* 2 tube tops or halter tops ( I would get one of each so you have more variety)
*one dressy summer dress for going out at night
* one casual dress ( I like juicy terry cloth dresses)
* A dressy top
* A pair of dressy sandals
*Bathing suit
* A pair of flip flops
*Sunglasses
*Hat
For all seasons you should have 2-3 good fitting bras, enough underwear to last you a week, socks and of course a really great handbag that goes with everything!
PS note that you should always follow the rule " quality over quantity" when buying these basics, You don't need a million cheap pieces. these items are classic and don't go out of style so you want them to last a long time. They are what you are basing your wardrobe on, last thing you want is to look "cheap"
It is better to have a few nice items than a lot of cheap ones.
