8 Wardrobe Essentials Every Modern Woman Must Have
With just a few months remaining in 2022 and the season about to change, it’s time to overhaul your wardrobe if you don’t want to fall out of style. Not only that, but whether you’re planning a shopping spree or looking for work-appropriate attire that’s neither too formal nor too casual, we’ve compiled a list of 8 wardrobe essentials that modern women must have.
Since we live in a modern society, practicality and versatility are prominent in all forms of fashion, whether in clothing, accessories, or footwear. Gone are the days when you bought one specific fashion staple, wore it once, and then threw it in the back of your wardrobe, never to be seen in the light of day again. Susie Faux, the owner of Wardrobe Boutique, has proposed a capsule wardrobe as a better and more eco-conscious alternative.
Let’s Us Dress More Wisely
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of specific fashion items that may be worn for decades while being interchangeable for any occasion or style. It creates a trend of welcoming sustainability in fashion while being modern and elegant. So, without further ado, let’s get into what includes a capsule wardrobe and how to make the most of it.
- A Trusted White Tee
Do you know that one tee that never goes out of style? Yes, it’s a plain white tee with a round or v-neck. It unquestionably keeps you comfortable and fresh looking, whether you’re at home relaxing, running errands in the city, or on your way to a casual business meeting.
It’s also quite versatile, as you can wear it with any item of clothing, whether jeans, a jacket, a skirt, or a cardigan. Not to mention that, because of its basic white color, it will last you a decade to experiment with.
- Studio Style Leggings
Remember how we all spent our lockdown days at home in leggings? We now spend our regular days outside in leggings as well. They’ve evolved into a lockdown-street style fashion essential that goes with everything.
Studio-style leggings give various outfit options for your everyday casual styles, such as pairing them with a simple tee, tank tops, blazers, and sports bras.
Aside from providing a lot of comforts, these leggings may also provide you with a lot of versatility, thanks to the zips and slits.
- A Pair of Relaxed Denim Jeans
No capsule wardrobe should be complete without a pair of casual denim jeans. It’s just not possible. When the lockdown hit in 2020, sweatpants and leggings were all we needed, but after life returned to normal, we ran to denim like it was our true love.
While skinny jeans are all the rage, there are a plethora of relaxed denim styles that you must have in your closet.
You can easily mix up your appearance with basic shirts, blazers, jackets, blouses, and sweaters with shoes, heels, and boots for a casual walk around town or attending a business meeting with no trouble whatsoever.
- A Chunky White Pair of Shoes
If you’ve been following celebrities’ fashion-inspired gossip mill, you’ve probably seen Hailey Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Gigi Hadid wearing some crazy huge white sneakers. Well, this pair of shoes made a comeback in 2021 and is now here to stay.
From street to runway, chunky white sneakers are stylish and traditional, bringing a touch of glam to your everyday and special occasion outfits. You can wear them to liven up your basic jeans or a breezy dress; the options are endless.
- A Traditional Blazer
A classic blazer is all you need to add depth to your outfit, whether you’re getting ready for a long work day, a cocktail party, or a casual lunch date. It provides comfort by layering over a tight blouse, offering warmth on a chilly day, and giving that added confidence in the workplace. When it comes to layering, a double-breasted, waist-defining, sharply lapel blazer is all you need.
We recommend adding dark and neutral hues blazers to your capsule wardrobe because they go with practically everything and can be styled for years.
- Well-Tailored Black Trousers
Aside from leggings and denim, well-tailored black trousers are also wardrobe must-haves. You can opt for some soft pieces like the Women trousers by Elegante that are neither too tight nor too loose, giving you the option to carry a light, breezy outfit. These will serve as the best companions in your runs, workouts, and casual outings.
- A Statement Tote Handbag
Nowadays, we carry so much with us, that the small, cute purses can’t accommodate in them. What is the solution? A stunning tote handbag.
Tote bags are not only fashionable but also functional, with enough room to carry your everyday necessities such as car keys, wallet, makeup pouch, eyewear case, phone, tablet, and even laptop!
You can carry them while roaming around the city or heading to work, as tote bags are essential and stylish at the same time.
- Gold Jewelry
No shopping trip is complete without some jewelry, and gold jewelry has been popular for quite some time. We’ve all seen how jewelry can enhance and personalize any look, so it’s only reasonable to invest in some high-quality pieces that will last you for years.
For your date evenings, buy some big gold chains, hoops, and bracelets and for those everyday outings, go for some small chic rings and pendants.
So Don’t Hold Up
Now that you’ve compiled a list of all the wardrobe essentials for looking trendy and elegant, it’s time to go shopping to refresh your wardrobe. All of these things will only add depth to your style, whether it’s street, business, boho, or something else.
So don’t compromise on looking your best with only eight wardrobe essentials every woman must have. With these, you are sure to turn heads wherever you go.
