As a fashion editor, I get such a thrill discovering fresh trends. That said, when it comes to my personal wardrobe, my offering tends to skew on the simple side with a hefty assortment of basics. When I do go for it a bit more, it’s usually in the form of statement accessories. With all that in mind, I thought I’d bring you a curation of the specific basics I think could be true sartorial heroes in a wardrobe.
If I’m being totally honest, I’d probably skip every new trendy item coming out in honor of the pieces coming your way. I just couldn’t give them up and truly think they are the backbone of a modern wardrobe. They’re all extremely versatile and could be styled in so many different ways.
Keep scrolling to check out my favourite wardrobe basics right now that I think you’ll be into as well. Actually, I bet some are already go-tos for you. If so, there’s a bunch of shopping inspiration below if you want to refresh anything.
A tan or camel sweater is effortlessly chic in my opinion. Whether you tie one around your shoulders or wear it with your favourite jeans, it just feels so elevated.
A white button-down shirt is classic. Over the last few seasons, the oversized silhouettes have become staples in many wardrobes.
That trusty blazer will always be a go-to. I believe it’s one of the most versatile pieces you can own because you can dress it up or down, like with this look featuring jeans and sneakers.
Yes, blue jeans are always front-runners, but I also love black jeans in a straight-leg or skinny fit because I think they’re quite sleek.
One more sweater I rely on is a loose cardigan to take any simple look to the next level.
