Thanks to NET-A-PORTER and ShopStyle Collective for sponsoring this post
I get asked about my wardrobe essentials just as often as I do about my colorful, editorial pieces! The start of a new year always has me cleaning, organizing and ultimately investing for the upcoming seasons. One of my personal goals this year is to be more intentional, and that includes how – and why – I shop. Figuring out what my wardrobe essentials are is the first step in that direction! Wardrobe essentials, forever pieces, closet chics—however you define them—can help build a foundation that the rest of your collection can grow from. NET-A-PORTER is my favorite for these effortlessly chic style staples. Below I’m highlighting wardrobe staples I’m loving right now!
A PRINTED TWEED JACKET
A structured tweed jacket can last a lifetime! I recommend a medium brown shade with a simple checked heritage-inspired pattern to pair with almost all of your basics, from tees to crews to turtlenecks.
HIGH WEAR JEANS
The perfect answer to the age-old question of what pants should I wear? Denim dressed in black to the rescue! The high waist and flared leg are extremely flattering – a key tenet for any wardrobe essential.
A BAG OF COFFEE FOREVER
Perhaps the ultimate investment item – a permanent brown top handle bag that can also be converted into a shoulder bag. Classic and timeless, with a nod to the contemporary. The gold chain link can be replaced with a matching leather strap for versatility. Or, just hold it by the top handle.
CLASSIC CLASSIC HORSE
The most iconic leather strap imaginable. For the office, for the weekend, for home, for everywhere. The purest definition of an item of clothing – not much more needs to be said!
