12 Staple Clothing Items Every Woman Should Have In Her Closet
When it comes to deciding what to wear, do you ever find yourself staring into your closet and feeling a little… uninspired? You could have tons of clothes in there, but you still struggle with putting together an outfit. The thing is, you only really need a handful of staple clothing items. While that may sound crazy, read on to find out what your closet might be lacking.
Good Pair Of Denim Jeans
A good, high-quality pair of denim jeans is at the top of our list because they really are a staple. They can be dressed up for a night out, or dressed down for a more casual, everyday look. You’ll find that you will reach for these often.
Basic Tee
A basic tee sounds pretty boring, but it’s a classic for a reason. A white T-shirt pairs amazingly with a pair of jeans. Why not layer it with a blazer for a more cool and sophisticated look? It’s a simple yet versatile clothing item that will never go out of style.
Clean White Button Down
A clean, crisp white button-down shirt also looks good with those denim jeans you have. Again, this can also be paired with a blazer, or layered with a sweater over the top showing the collar. An Oxford button-down is another item that will never go out of fashion because it really is a classic.
Casual Dress
A casual dress is perfect for a Sunday afternoon stroll in the sunshine, or a cute outfit to wear when you’re on vacation. They’re comfortable without having to make much of an effort. The beauty of having a casual dress is that it’s the top and bottoms sorted all in one, which means less time spent wondering what to wear!
Sexy Dress
A sexy dress doesn’t have to be tight and fitted. It can be whatever makes you feel sexy and confident while you’re wearing it. It’s perfect for a night on the town with your friends or a date night with your partner at a fancy restaurant.
Comfy Sweater
The best thing about a comfy sweater is that you can wear it for lounging around the house or pair it with your favorite jeans to wear as an outfit. A comfy sweater will also keep us warm and cozy, and adding some accessories, such as a necklace, can really enhance the look.
A Smart Blouse
Stressed out trying to decide what to wear for your next job interview? A blouse can be teamed with a skirt for a more sophisticated look or a pair of jeans for the perfect balance of both casual and smart. Why not go for a pretty patterned blouse or a simple block color?
Skirt To Dress Up Or Down
A skirt can be incredibly versatile (if you hadn’t guessed at this point, versatility is key), and can be worn as a night or daytime outfit. Why not team it with your favorite heels if you’re going out for drinks? Or, if you’re going to a museum, wear it with a comfy pair of sneakers.
Denim Jacket
A denim jacket can elevate any outfit. If you’re wearing a plain T-shirt and a skirt, then a denim jacket will take it to the next level. A jean jacket can also be worn over a dress or, if you’re feeling brave, with your denim jeans. At this point, we can all agree that double denim looks good.
Leather Jacket
Similarly to a denim jacket, a leather jacket is the perfect way to take any outfit to the next level. It doesn’t even necessarily need to be made from real leather, as there are so many faux leather alternatives that look great. Wear it with your jeans or over a dress!
Blazer
A blazer is another incredibly versatile clothing item that everyone should have in their closet. Roll up the sleeves for a more casual look, or layer it over your blouse if you’re headed to an interview. A blazer can also be worn over a dress or with a shirt and jeans.
Sweatpants For A Lazy Day
And finally, what would a list of staple clothing items be without a pair of sweatpants? Every woman needs a pair for days when you don’t want to leave the house, and the only plan you have is to sit in front of the TV and watch your favorite show.
