We’ve all had those morning hours when we stood up and looked through the things in our cabinets. When we stare, we have a robust feeling that something is either missing or the content in it’s nowhere near the latest trends swirling around us. In this section, we’re going to take a moment to cover all the wardrobe basics that virtually every woman should own or something near just to fulfill a classy wardrobe.
Dark Denim
Let’s get started on butts, what’s out there, and what you should have. A good range of denim jeans is a must have piece in the wardrobe. I understand that denim fit and selection can be very intimate for most girls, but there are ways to choose the wrong fit for your body type. I personally feel that virtually every girl can pull off skinny jeans when styled properly. Opting for a darker wash of denim is an incredible option for girls who want a flattering finish that looks slimmer. Meanwhile, lighter wash denim can make a curvy figure appear curvier than it truly is. Darker wash denim is a classic for all denim jeans. When I say darker denim, I mean a darker indigo wash with less fading and a stone wash. When using this wash, it is simple to pair your bottoms with most tops. Darker denim looks great with white, cream, coral, and grey casual tops. When choosing a denim brand that suits you, keep away from back pocket details, large seams, and the top of the jeans is essential. The extra details on a pair of jeans can make it difficult to match them with your top, which in turn can make you feel like you do not have many options in your wardrobe. The perfect rise in jeans is key when looking to avoid that awful muffin top! If a mid rise is what your body needs, DON’T be shy about buying the right fit. Most girls need a mid rise and do not even know it!
Go gray
Adding to your denim collection, I firmly believe that everybody should own at least one pair of great gray jeans and at least one fun color denim! Gray jeans are great to have when you want to look edgier and rocker! They looked astonishing in their crisp white t-shirts and leather jackets and flats. Fall/winter is the perfect time to try on gray bottoms, because they look great with a sweater and cozy boots! Gray is a nice, neutral color that can take your most basic look to another level. Colored denim is another item that can be very intimate for the wearer. Bright coloured denim is fun for spring and summer for a fun, fresh look and bubbly to wear with loose-fitting tanks and blouses. I believe that an incredible start to the world of coloured denim is to start with a clean Maroon. Maroon denim can create a really chic look when paired with blue denim buttons and a white t-shirt underneath or even when paired with a casual gray top and black shoes. This color blocking will make all of your family and friends think that you’re so lovely and stylish!
Basic T-Shirt
Now let’s get to the essential top. When choosing a top, it’s the trendiest cut of all. Top styles change virtually every week. Basic that everybody must have is a basic t-shirt consisting of gray, black and white. It is an incredible layering piece and can be styled with different scarves and necklaces to create endless different looks. Currently, loose and flowy tops are in vogue, ranging from solid colours to motifs. Lighter blouses in silk or chiffon options are great to pick from. While the blouse may be loose and flowing, a semi-transparent silk or chiffon blouse can easily be layered with a form-fitting tank to disclose the true figure underneath. For all the ladies who dare to go sexy, an easy black or nude bra can be your bottom layer depending on the top and the occasion. Structured button-down tops are great to wear with jeans too. They provide a more tailor-made look and when teamed with a fun statement necklace, it takes the reputation of a button-down shirt from the corporate business woman to the chic New Yorker. Not just jeans, but this structured top is great with tailor-made trousers and ankle shorts in summer and spring.
Always Layered
Next, let’s discuss our outer layers. I’m sure many of you out there think jackets and coats only serve to keep us warm. This statement is far from the reality. Jackets and outerwear can act as the cherry on top of a fantastic outfit! The outerwear basics we should all own are a fitted denim jacket in medium faded and distressing colours, and a fitted leather jacket that fits over the shoulders and around the bodice and fits at a high waist. These two pieces can be worn over an easy top and jeans to give the illusion that you spend more time preparing than you truly do! Denim jackets look great with gray bottoms, black jeans and other coloured denim. The idea of denim on denim might scare some of you, but so long as the two denims are different colours and match well with a white, black, or gray top, you are good to go! Leather jackets are great to pair with trendy ankle boots, to team with fitted dresses for chilly evenings, and for an edgy rocker look with ripped jeans and/or shorts.
Flattering Flats
Finally, let’s discuss shoes that each girl should have for an incredible start, the casual wardrobe. Flats are a basic need that I’m sure every woman understands, even though choosing which flat to get can be uncertain. I believe that smooth pointed toe flats look great with jeans for a semi-stylish look. Not only that, pointed toe flats can help you look taller so long as they provide visual extension to shorter legs. When buying a flat, keep away from flashy details and attachments, as they can quickly limit your equipment options. Along with nice flats, every girl should own thin-soled sneakers. For example, Converse is good to have. They look astonishing with cute flirty skirts in summers for a sporty look. They also work well with denim jeans and shorts in summer. This is a shoe that is simple to pair with any outfit because it’s classic and straightforward to maintain. Not to mention, they look even better after wearing them!
Ankle boots
The latest shoe trend appears to be the ankle boot. From flats to medium chunky heels. It’s great to have for a cute, frumpy everyday outfit, and can even be paired with an incredible blouse and jeans for going out at night. Dark brown leather ankle boots go very well with the dark denim jeans we have covered throughout this article together with gray and coloured denim bottoms. Black ankle boots with good height can be paired with skirts and dresses in lieu of heels for certain looks too.
Now you have it! The basics of each woman’s wardrobe and tips on how to style them. Of course, as mentioned, these are just the bare minimum. I suggest that everybody try these basics and feel comfy with styling them. Then explore more detailed selections within the genre. There are millions of coloured and patterned bottoms to play with. Thousands of colours, prints and patterns of tops and blouses to mix and match. Many outer garments will be used for layering options. And as we all know, thousands of shoes we think we need! Every girl and everybody has an opportunity to become a fashionista. Everything just starts with a good foundation.
