Jeans
Everyone needs a great pair of jeans. Whether it be skinny, straight cut, or boot leg, a good-fitting pair of jeans is essential to a wardrobe. Jeans can be worn casually during the day, they can be dressed up for a night out, and a black pair can even be worn more professionally.
White T-Shirt
A white T-shirt is something that everyone needs in their collection. It’s something that you just throw on when you have nothing to wear. It’s also perfect for layering different items on top of, like a jumper, cardigan, or jacket. A white T-shirt can even be dressed up if you accessorise right!
LBD
If you’re going to have at least one dress in your wardrobe, it should be a LBD (little black dress). It’s the perfect dress for any occasion and basic enough that you can mix and match accessories with it to make it look different every time you wear it.
Boots
A go-to pair of boots is perfect to own in winter. You can go for a flat pair of boots or even something with a heel, but make sure they’re comfortable enough to wear on a day-to-day basis. Boots a great to slip into for any kind of outfit and will last you a lifetime!
Coat
A coat is a must. Especially a thick coat that will keep you toasty warm in winter. Something simple to match most of your outfits will be perfect.
Leather Jacket
A leather jacket or a faux leather jacket is like a statement. They look cool and edgy, but also sleek and elegant. They’re always in fashion and look perfect with almost everything and like boots, will last you a lifetime.
Sweater
A sweater, or an oversized sweater, is the perfect loungewear essential that everyone needs. It’s great to wear while you’re bumming around at home, but also looks great with jeans and sneakers if you wear it out. It also makes you look extra cozy and warm in winter!
Turtleneck
Similar to the sweater, a turtleneck is a great loungewear essential but looks awesome if you wear it out and is always a classic. It’s totally on trend to own one at the moment, but I think we always need to own at least one no matter what. The high neck keeps you warm in winter which is always a plus.
Go-To Heels
Find a pair of heels that you can wear all night without your feet hurting! Choose whatever colour you want, but make sure the heels are neutral enough that you can wear it with any outfit. A comfy go-to pair of heels is essential for a girl to own.
Pencil Skirt
Like the LBD, a pencil skirt is a must have for every girl. Say you have a last minute job interview and you need something to wear? Or a last minute fancy dinner/wedding? Pencil skirts are the perfect saviour! They can be dressed up or down depending on what you pair them with and they always look classy.
