Every woman has a few wardrobe pieces that she finds herself reaching for time and again. Whether she has brunch plans with friends, date night with her significant other or just heading into the city for a day of site-seeing, these are her favourite pieces to reach for that she can style to suit the occasion.
They are the foundation of any closet: stylish but trend-agnostic, classy but never boring. Below we’ve put together a list of our favourite wardrobe mainstays we look forward to wearing regardless of season, occasion or even age.
The Crisp Shirt
An essential not just in a man’s closet but that of a woman as well. A tailored shirt is the building block for any look. Pair it with straight trousers for a meeting at work, wear it as a layering piece over a tank top and shorts for a grocery run or simply wear it under a blazer with a belt at the waist, the styling possibilities will allow you to add it to your shopping cart guilt-free.
The Sparkly Skirt
You might own a midi skirt, but what about one that sparkles? A pleated midi skirt with a sequin or metallic finish is not just reserved for parties. You can wear it with a solid tank top for a more minimal, work-ready look or pair it with a matching one if you’re heading to an evening event. Style it with heels, sneakers, flats or go barefoot–all options will make you picture-perfect for those after-party posts.
The Shift Dress
This humble silhouette always comes in handy. Put away your quintessential LBD and opt for something a little different. The straight-cut shift dress has been a favourite of many designers and celebrities, and has been revamped from its 1960s version to a modern, clean one. For a fresh Saturday look, complement the clean silhouette with minimal accessories. Heading to work? Throw on a blazer and pumps for effect. And for after-work drinks, you can simply switch your accessories and add in a sparkly clutch to complete the look.
The Cosy Cardigan
Only a few things seamlessly blend together comfort, warmth and style. And the cardigan is one of them. Pop this relaxed piece over your fall maxi dresses, wear it with jeans and a top to casual Fridays at work or layer it with an overcoat for all your snow-related adventures. How will you be wearing this cosy staple this year?
The Stylish Sunglasses
What’s cooler than a pair of sunglasses? Nothing at all we say! These always-chic accessories never go out of style—be it summer or winter. You can add it to any outfit for an instant style uplift. PS. They also make a handy headband if your hair isn’t behaving!
