A woman's wardrobe is a lot like a man's closet. It needs to be full of clothes that are versatile and interchangeable, allowing you to make an outfit from just about any combination of items! These staples will allow you to wear different outfits without breaking the bank or overloading your closet with trendy pieces that may go out of style quickly. In this blog post, we'll discuss some must-have wardrobe basics every woman should own (and why).
Little Black Dress
A little black dress is one of the most versatile items a woman can own. It goes with anything, it’s easy to accessorize it, and you can wear it almost anywhere! You don't need many LBDs in your closet because they are timeless pieces that never go out of style. They will last for decades if taken care of properly. Whether you wear it to work with a cardigan or to a party with pumps and statement jewelry, the elegant black cocktail dress will never go out of style. The perfect LBD has essential characteristics: fabric appropriate for year-round use, flattering cut (not too low or high), and no other prints besides solid color—and even then only small ones like polka dots or stripes/checks. The best material is silk crepe de chine or stretches satin, with a lining of the same material so it doesn't cling.
Pair of Jeans
Jeans are a wardrobe staple for every woman. They're the perfect item to complete any look and you can even dress them up or down depending on your needs. The best part about owning jeans is that they last forever! It's hard to go wrong with this timeless fashion must-have, especially when there are so many different styles out there from skinny jeans to bootcut jeans. High-waisted denim pants may be back in style but make sure not all of your pairs have high waistlines if you don't want to look too matronly.
When searching for a pair of flattering dark wash blue jeans, keep these tips in mind: fit should be slim without being skin tight (if it feels uncomfortable it’s probably not the right fit), darker wash jeans will look more dressy and polished, avoid wearing distressed denim (unless it’s a trendy ripped knee detail) because the holes tend to run bigger.
Neutral Scarf
A soft, cozy scarf is a must-have for every woman's wardrobe. It can be worn in so many different ways and adds instant warmth on chilly days. A neutral color like black, gray, or chocolate brown will go with any outfit you choose to wear it with and even add an unexpected pop of color when paired with bright accessories.
The best material for scarves are knits that feel plush such as cashmere or angora because they're lightweight yet very warm—just what we need during the colder months! The length should fall below your elbows but no longer than mid-thigh so you’re able to layer it over sweaters/dresses without feeling bulky underneath them. Scarf ends don't have to match exactly. Feel free to have them in contrasting colors.
Blazer
A blazer is one of the best wardrobe must-haves every woman should own. It's a classic piece that can be worn in many different ways whether it’s to work or out with friends on the weekends. A well-fitting, structured blazer will last you forever and never go out style—which makes them worth investing in!
When searching for a versatile blazer, stick to neutral colors such as black, navy blue, gray, or khaki green (depending on if you're going for business casual or more fun). Since they are meant to keep us warm while we dress up our looks, the best material is a thicker wool or cashmere blends that will keep us extra warm during cold winter months. The most flattering blazer has three essential characteristics: they should be well-fitting (without looking too tight and not having any bagginess), they shouldn’t have shoulder pads, and there can't be more than one functional button—two buttons is fine but anything over that looks very dated. Having these details in mind when shopping for your next blazer will ensure you look polished every time you wear it!
Pair of Leather Boots
Warm and versatile, a pair of leather boots is another wardrobe must-have for every woman. Leather boots can be worn with dresses during the winter months to keep your legs warm or dressed down for more casual looks—such as denim skirts paired with tights and dressy sweaters.
Three essential characteristics make up the perfect pair of black leather boots: they're not too high (about two inches above the knee), square toes look classic while almond-shaped toes tend to go out style, and wide shafts without buckles will allow you to wear them comfortably with any outfit. The best material is smooth calfskin or suede because it's sleek yet durable enough so they'll last forever! These tips aren't just specific to black leather boots, they apply to all other colors as well.
Black Jacket
When it comes to a slim-fitting black leather or faux leather jacket you want one that's well-fitting yet not too tight—a slight A shape will create the illusion of curves while boxy styles tend to make us look boxier instead! The length should fall right at your hip which means if you're taller it might end slightly above them so when paired with dresses they won't feel too short but still offer enough coverage in case your dress blows upwards in windy weather. Pockets are essential so it doesn't look like you're drowning in the jacket if they come with side pockets or flap pockets. We don’t want to look bulky, just chic and classic!
To ensure that your black leather jacket will last forever then invest in one made of thicker material such as lambskin leather instead of thinner faux ones because it has more durability. Don't worry about finding a perfect match for all your outfits—black goes with everything (even white!) which makes them an easy wardrobe must-have every woman should own!
You’ll look and feel your best when you have a solid foundation in wardrobe essentials that work well together. With these pieces, you can make countless outfits for days when you need to be ready at all times. Be sure to add this list of must-haves to your closet!
