Every single person out there has staples that they have in their wardrobe. The comfy clothes we rotate to chill out in, the workwear we rock in the boardroom, the casual clothes we wear for drinks with friends – they’re all staples and they all have a place. Getting rid of any of these is usually not an option, which is why we have put together a list of six staples that you really need to have in your wardrobe for it to be everything you need. Let’s dive in!
- Leggings. No matter what you do in life, leggings are a must. Blair Waldorf may have said that “tights are not pants”, but leggings and tights are not the same thing! Leggings are the ultimate comfort, and you can dress them up with a long shirt and belt or you can dress them down with a hoody or oversized t-shirt. They even work really well as workout pants; more movement, less friction! Leggings should be in every single wardrobe as the ultimate universal clothing piece, and you can stick to black or you can choose a range of colours for your leggings.
- Converse. Oh, the shoe of comfort, fashion and style. Converse shoes are better than every other brand of the same shoe type. These canvas sneaks can be paired with pretty much anything, and you can find your best look in a fitted tee and skinny jeans. You can wear Converse with dresses, shorts, jeans and trousers to dress down your workwear. They’re comfortable and they look good, and because they coe with a range of colours, you can rely on more than one pair.
- Hoody. Another universal piece for the wardrobe, hoodies are great for workouts, cold nights, running errands, casual meet-ups concerts – you name it, a hoodie is appropriate. You can pull them over dresses, men’s shirts and even a smock! Everyone needs a hoodie in their life and you can even buy several hoodies to match all colours if you want to! You can use them all year around, too, and you can buy a range of lengths. Love crop tops? Get a cropped hoodie! It all works.
- Great Boots. There are so many types of boots out there, and you absolutely need them all. Ankle boots, heeled boots, platformed boots, Ugg boots – we can list them all. Dress them with leggings, with shorts, jeans and even working wear. There is no such thing as too many pairs of boots and you shouldn’t have anyone in your life that tells you so! Boots can look as casual or as dressy as you make them look; choose wisely – the only issue you’ll have is space!
- Bags. Backpacks and totes, clutches and satchels, bags are all the rage. They come in all different lengths, colours, sizes and more. Everyone needs a bag for sports, for work, for casual nights out. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what you love, bags will always have a place in your wardrobe.
- A Black Tee. Dress it up or down, a black t-shirt is versatile as an option for your wardrobe. You can use these for the gym, the club, the skatepark – whatever you want, a black tee works for all occasions.
