I’ve always believed that what you wear and how you carry yourself matters a lot. Did you know that within 5 seconds, people around you already know whether they’d like to approach you or if they’re not interested in interacting with you? All within 5 seconds – that’s crazy! But, that’s why it is important to have a classic and timeless wardrobe. Which definitely doesn’t mean you have to spend your whole salary on a shopping spree. Although, you could if you wanted to – we don’t judge here.
It is very important to remember that trends come and go, what is important is your sense of style. Click here to read why I don’t follow fashion trends anymore. Spoiler alert: I just wear what makes me feel the most confident, regardless if it’s trending or not. Anyways, here’s a list of 7 wardrobe essentials that can’t be missing in your closet!
“I like my money right where I can see it- hanging in my closet.” – Carrie Bradshaw.
Comfortable Jeans
Emphasis on comfortable. Make sure to always purchase the right size and let go of those jeans you can’t breathe in. They’re definitely not worth it! If jeans fit loose around the waist, there’s many ways to solve that. Maybe getting them tailored, or using shoe laces in the back belt loops to tighten the waist might do the trick.
Denim can definitely spice up your whole look. And they’re a staple everyone has in their closet. They are great for casual outings as well as for nights out.
Personally, I prefer loose ripped boyfriend or mom jeans to skinny jeans – they’ll never go out of style and they’re comfortable af.
Tank Tops
Tank tops are definitely another wardrobe essential that literally everyone in their closet. If you’re thinking about the basic forever 21 tank tops, think again. Long gone are the days when tank tops come with a single design. Now, there are a variety of designs and styles that you can choose from.
They can be styled in so many different ways. If you haven’t seen the tik Tok video from @kalechng styling a tank top as a skirt, you need to watch asap!
LBD = Little Black Dress
“I don’t have anything to wear” is something I tell myself every single week at least once. And I’m sure you probably do too, even if your closet is overflowing with clothes, it’ll take hours to decide what to wear. Only to go back to the first outfit you tried on…
And let me share a secret – whenever I don’t know what to wear, I just go for an LBD or little black dress. You can never go wrong with black. And a simple LBD can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, so it’s perfect to go on a date, to the bar, to brunch or just grocery shopping! It’s important to pay attention to the accessories and details.

Formal Jumpsuit
I’m not a dress girl – never been. I think the photo of me in a belted blazer passing it as an LBD is proof of that. I’d rather wear trousers than skirts or a dress. They make me feel more confident and like a fucking boss. So, no wonder, most of the time I also choose jumpsuits – they are really comfy & still cute. Besides, they can be worn during the day or night as they can be dressed up and down. There’s also many different types of jumpsuits, such as, strapless, short-sleeved, v-neck, the options are endless.
One of the things I like the most, is that jumpsuits are so easy to style. I mainly add a loose linen button down during the summer or a long coat during the winter. As for the shoes, you can either wear heels or white sneakers and then put on gold jewelry.
Cozy Sweatpants
Back in 2019, I used to own only 3 pairs of sweatpants. Fast forward to 2021, I own about 12 pairs of sweatpants and don’t even ask about leggings because I think I own over a month’s worth of them…
Anyways, I live in sweatpants, they are so comfortable & perfect to stay in all day or WFH. Wearing a matching set makes me feel so productive and like a cute couch potato. Also, if you’re going to run errands & don’t want to change outfits, go with a street-style look. Just pair your sweatpants with an oversized hoodie or t-shirt, add gold jewelry, fix your messy bun and you are all good to go.
White Sneakers
Because every girl on the planet and their mother has white sneakers in their wardrobe. I’m convinced they will never go out of style and they are always my go-to’s for everything! They work with almost every type of outfit, be it jeans or a dress, even with playsuits.
Besides that, you can always get creative with them. For instance, replace the white shoelace with a blue ribbon to match your dress. Or, if you are an artist, you can make your sneakers a canvas and paint them over them. I’m not brave enough to try this yet, because I’m scared to ruin my shoes but I’d love to try it out some day!
Classic Black Heels
If you told me I had to travel somewhere and could only take 2 pairs of shoes, I would 100% take my white sneakers and black heels just in case. They are a staple and
work for every occasion! What kind of heel is totally upon you and your comfort level. You can go with chunky ones or wedges. Nonetheless, one sure thing is that heels will instantly elevate your look.
If you get blisters after wearing heels, use a band-aid before wearing them. You can also use blister blocks on sensitive parts. It’ll make the heels more comfortable.
Everyone should have these wardrobe essentials. These items will never go out of style and yo
u definitely don’t need to spend thousands buying trendy clothes. You can find these essentials anywhere, whether it is Nordstrom, Ross, Amazon or at your local thrift store.
