Every woman's wardrobe needs a stockpile of great basics that you can mix and match in with your more glamorous pieces.
Basics are true wardrobe essentials that form the backbone of your working wardrobe. From here you can start developing your own style and have some fun! Try teaming a simple, classic white tee up with a vintage sequinned mini-skirt or a soft slouchy knit over a floor length ball gown.
Be brave and make a statement!
Here's our list of must-have wardrobe staples:
1: The Blazer
This perennial fave always makes you look smart and
polished.
Have one ready in black/charcoal or grey and then branch out from
there! We love ours from
Kate Sylvester and
Karen Walker the
best!
2. The Trench
The best trench coat around is still the beige/cream one made by
Burberry .
Classics never date. The Burberry trench that Kate Middleton once
wore sold out within hours of her wearing it!
Karen Walker, Helen Cherry,
Country Road and even the House of G (a.k.a
Glassons ) all do
their own fabulous versions of it.
3. Jeans
Whether you go designer or chain store, be sure to make sure that the jeans you wear always look great on you and flatter your body shape in every way. Skinny, boyfriend, flared, dark blue, light-washed or distressed... have an array of styles, colours and washes to choose from.
We love ours from
Workshop Denim, Karen Walker, Country Road and
Fabric .
4. Knits & Jersey Basics
Some of us live in knits 24/7! Maybe it's the comfy
factor?
Nowadays you can also look super-stylish in figure-hugging, sexy
knitwear. We love
Standard Issue's cashmere and merino pieces the
best!
As for simple, soft tees and slinky singlet tops, we prefer ours
from
American
Apparel, genius Taiwanese designer
Alexander Wang
and L.A based designer
James Perse.
5. Shirts
Sometimes nothing looks better than just a crisp, white tailored
shirt over a pair of blue jeans. Simplicity works wonders!
Try Nicholas Jermyn for an immaculately tailored one or Country
Road for a silky, luxe version of it.
Get excited about your basics and they will continue to help you
out time and time again!
See you all next week!
