You know the kind of woman we’re talking about. She’s never late for brunch reservations. She has a signature fragrance. She is the proud owner of and actually Uses a planner. She’s who we all aspire to be: the put-together woman who just doesn’t seem to need to try that hard. And the reason she doesn’t need to try hard? A good selection of closet staples.
She has probably slept through a Zoom Call or tripped in front of others at some point. We think she has it all because she LooksLike she does. Haven’t we all assumed anyone wearing a beret must also meditate in the morning and follow a six-step skincare routine? You can also pretend to know everything by building a wardrobe of everyday essentials. Yes, we’re all pretending (even her).
1. Tailored trousers
You don’t have to feel sloppy or ill-fitted when you put on a pair well-tailored pants. Impossible, isn’t it? Make it pinstriped or go for the classic camel—all styles of trousers are must-haves in our book. It’s time to channel your inner Shiv Roy and be a hashtag boss lady.
2. Loafers
Look inside any fashionable woman’s closet and you’re guaranteed to find at least one pair of loafers. They’re the versatile shoe that instantly elevates any outfit. They look great with a maxi, a shacket, and jeans or a blazer and leggings.
3. A black turtleneck
It’s the closet staple that’s overtaken our closets. It’s a universal truth: You can’t just own one black turtleneck. The chunky knit, the fitted classic, the slouchy mock neck—yeah, we need them all.
4. Classic denim
Looking put together doesn’t require a suit or heels. Even the most sophisticated outfits can be easy to put together. Denim silhouettes are like foundation. They create a flawless base for makeup. What will it be? What will it be? Bootcut, wide-leg or high-rise jeans? Or (whispers quietly), skinny jeans?
5. A white button-down
The ever-casual, always effortless button-down belongs in everyone’s closet. It can be worn alone, under a sweater, sleeveless, or with a satin-skirted skirt.
6. A statement coat
Maybe it’s a trench or an oversized blazer, but ask any fashion girl and she’ll tell you about the coat that never fails to complete her OOTD. Sure, you could be wearing sweats underneath, but with a wool coat on top, you’ll look like you’re ready for anything.
7. A sweater dress
There’s a reason why a good sweater dress isn’t a nice-to-have but an essential. It’s a one-and-done piece that feels comfy, looks chic, and requires less than five minutes of effort.
8. Boots with a high knee
This season’s shoe is the best. Not only are knee-high boots a 2022 trend, but they’re also a here-to-stay trend. Get a pair today and you’ll be grateful later.
