They’re easy to wear and easy to pair – with our essentials, you can mix and match an outfit for any occasion.
How do you build a great essential wardrobe? When building an essential wardrobe, it’s always best to begin with favorite pieces that are already in your closet. Maybe you have a few dresses that you love to wear – and want to wear in different contexts? To make your dresses more versatile, try a pair of patterned or plain leggings, plus a cardigan, slip, and a lightweight long-sleeved top. Pick your leggings based on the occasion (casual or celebration), add a cardigan when the weather calls for something warmer, and if you like layering, then add a slip and top as fabulous details under the dress.
Another way to build your essential wardrobe is to start from three keywords: timelessness, quality and versatility. In other words, invest in high-quality pieces that never go out of style and that you can pair with anything. For example: a pair of black leggings, a cardigan in a solid color or classic pattern, a comfy dress, straight-leg pants and a light, breezy top in your favorite color. Once these options are in your closet, you can add more unique pieces. The essentials are the foundation, while your unique favorites add a pop of contrast for a finished look filled with personality, for both special and casual occasions!
