Now that we’re kicking off a new year, it’s time to do a wardrobe refresh especially for those basics that I use daily! As I’ve gotten older I’ve definitely started to lean more towards the “capsule” wardrobe mentality so I can mix and match all the different pieces I have in a similar color palette and create more than just a few outfits! This is a great way to use your basics in a way that gets you the most bang for your buck. The next 7 basics are the pieces I use the most on frequently that I think are either worth investing in, or finding affordable alternatives for that you can replace easily without breaking the bank! Keep scrolling for my 7 affordable basics that I’m refreshing this year that I think everyone should have in their closet.
#1 White Tee
This is a non-negotiable for any capsule wardrobe! It can be worn so many ways either casually or dressed up and is such a classic piece, I usually like the crew neck style the best!
#2 Leggings
This is a staple for anyone who loves living in loungewear, on the days that I don’t have the energy to put together a full look, black leggings with an oversized sweatshirt always fits the bill!
#3 Black Turtleneck
I haven’t always loved turtlenecks but now think they look so chic especially when styled correctly! A black turtleneck is such a classic and looks so great tucked into a high waisted pair of denim.
#4 The Perfect Blazer
Every girl needs the perfect blazer in her closet! This one is so important especially for the days you need to feel like a BOSS at the office. Finding the perfectly fitted blazer is an interview staple and can always be dressed up or down!
#5 White Button Down
I always talk about styling with a crisp white button down and truly believe they’re such a staple in my closet! They’re definitely tough to keep clean but after a few months I love giving them a refresh because of how frequently I wear them.
#6 Cropped Tank Tops
Since we’ve all been living in loungewear for what seems like a year a good cropped tank has been an absolute essential. I live in these when I’m wearing sweats at home, working out, running errands, the list goes on and on and proves what a basic it really is in my wardrobe!
#7 Straight Leg Denim
I’ve gone through many stages of what my favorite denim styles are but I always come back to a classic straight leg! I love how they look with sneakers or heels and they’re truly the most versatile style that I own and keep reaching for.
XOXO,
