Here is my list of arguably the most crucial things to always have in your closet. Most bloggers would tell you that the number one thing that you need in your wardrobe is a white tee but I have to disagree! Don't be caught wearing something as basic as a plain white tee. Make sure every part of our outfit is unique and dazzles.
1. Slip on sneakers
Easy breezy beautiful. Slip on shoes are amazing not only for days you're running late but days you need to stay comfortable and blister free!
2. The perfect blazer
Don't sleep on this wardrobe essential! You may think that a blazer is meant for the business clad wall street woman but that was yesterday. Dress up your favorite blue jean with it or throw it on over a dress. This closet keepsake is great for layering in any season.
3. Button down
Unpopular opinion: button downs are amazing. Button down shirts are not a popular favorite but they are light and breathable for the summer and go to tops for layering in the winter. These two facts are reason enough for the button down to make this must have list.
4. Black ankle trousers
These pants are a true classic in the closet. Perfect for the working gal, but tailored in a fashion that they are so flattering on every body type you can wear them straight to meet up with the girls after work.
5. Leather jacket
This one seems self explanatory. If you needed more convincing then just think of how it can edge up any outfit that you pair it with. Keep this in your closet to ensure you look biker chic in a moments notice.
6. Classic leather belt
The only accessory on the list and a personal favorite. A classic belt can take an outfit a long way. You never know when you may need one but you certainly don't want to be caught without one.
7. Ballet flats
These simple shoes are a wonderful addition to every outfit. Perfect for work and casual dress, especially when you are planning on walking all over town.
8. Little black dress (LBD)
The LBD, a wardrobe staple. Anyone writing about essential items for your wardrobe has this one on their list. It is simply the perfect option for almost any occasion, flattering on all body types and skin tones and will never go out of stile, putting it in the wardrobe hall of fame. If you don't believe me just look at Audrey Hepburn.
9. Sleek pumps
Another must have in every woman's wardrobe, heels! Make sure no matter how many show stopping platforms that you own that you always make room for a basic pump. You can never go wrong with the neutral colored sleek pump. They go with jeans or dresses whether they are wild or classic and that is why they are a wardrobe staple.
10. Your go to jean
Never have a wardrobe with out a pair of these. When in doubt pull on your favorite pair of jeans that fit like a glove in all the right places. Everyone needs a pair of undeniably good fitting jeans. Dress them up or down depending on your mood, knowing you will be turning heads no matter how you accessories them.
Take these ten items and make them your own with a splash of color or the whole budget of paint. Add out of the ordinary pieces to each of these essential items to bring the runway to the streets of NY!! No ones closet is complete without a these wardrobe basics! See my recommendations bellow, in no particular order.
