BACK TO BASICS: 5 ESSENTIALS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT
Posted:
Every woman’s closet has seen trends come and go, but the basics are forever. You can rest assured that these key pieces will never go out of style or lose their street-chic appeal. But having a closet full of statement styles can leave you puzzled and unsure about how to put an outfit together. Our advice is to make sure you have all the wardrobe basics covered because even a trendier look involves starting with the basics!
Basics are the building blocks to the perfect wardrobe that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. These normally have neutral tones, and should be relatively timeless in their design. So, whether you are looking to start over or simply wish to update an old favourite, have a look at our picks.
We love stripes and a nice striped sweater is one of our favourite on-the-go layers. It can be styled many different ways and for all types of occasions. The Opening Sweater elevates the classic stripe to a higher level! This high quality, 100% cotton sweat shirting knit style features cross back panels, long sleeves and a crew neckline.
Fit and fabric is everything here. Go for a slightly high-rise style to give the illusion of longer, slimmer legs and stick to a true black that will go with everything. The Integral and the Venetian are our favourite styles. They feature a slim leg, front fly opening and a stretch waistband. These two styles are not only super comfortable, but also incredibly flattering. A wardrobe must-have.
It doesn’t get any more classic than a white t-shirt. The best styles are super soft, have a relaxed fit and a crewneck cut. The Groundwork Tee is the perfect everyday tee. Made of a high quality light weight and pre-shrunk 100% cotton knit, its flattering cut features a soft curved hem with extra length at the back.
The most versatile tailored piece you can own is a navy coloured blazer. It’s equally appropriate for daytime activities or evening ones, and you’ll have no problem pairing it with bright clothing or accessories.
A great blazer has strong-tailored lines and fits through the body. This will instantly elongate and slim the body. The Fracture Blazer is ideal for the woman who loves subtle features and values fine tailoring. It is sophisticated enough for the workplace, yet casual enough to be worn over a white tee and paired with your favourite pair of jeans.
Everyone knows that a statement bag can transform an outfit. It shows style, sophistication, and can literally act as a shield against the world! Not only does your bag enclose the contents of what you need to get through the day, but it also shows you are serious about how you are presenting yourself. The Creature Clutch is an over-sized statement accessory that really needs to be touched to be appreciated. Made from the most beautifully soft eco fur, once you have held this gorgeous clutch you will never want to put it down! Cozy, edgy and fun, the Creature Clutch is the perfect accessory for a timeless wardrobe.
