Have you ever felt like you don’t own enough items in your closet to fit the fast paced world of fashion trends? Worry no more! Here are five basic pieces to keep in your closet to help you build a trendy outfit for any occasion!
1. White T-Shirt
A white t-shirt may seem boring, but it is a necessary staple in your wardrobe. Wear it with a pair of blue jeans and jewelry, and you have a cute, simple outfit. You can also throw it under a jacket for an elevated look. Swap the white t-shirt for a white turtleneck and pair it under graphic tees or dresses if you live in a colder climate. It may seem boring, but trust me; you’ll wear the white t-shirt more than you expect!
2. Black Dress
A black dress is a great basic to have for any event. Black looks dressy, so you can wear it for almost any occasion and look presentable. Have a casual event? Dress it down with white sneakers and a jean jacket on top. Need to go somewhere fancy? Add some statement heels and jewelry. You can find a black dress almost anywhere, and in any style you like! Check out Lulus, Windsor, or Target to find one.
3. Hoop Earrings
A good pair of gold hoops can elevate any seemingly simple outfit. The same pair of hoops can spice up an everyday outfit or be added to a dress for a classy event. Don’t have your ears pierced? Not a problem! You can also wear clip-on earrings and will get the same effect.
4. White Sneakers
White sneakers are the perfect footwear to add to your closet that goes with almost anything! Since white is a neutral color, they can pair with any pattern or outfit. Unsure of which sneakers to buy? Try brands such as Converse, Nike, Adidas, or Rebook.
5. LightWeight Jacket
A lightweight jacket is a great statement piece to keep in your closet. Pair it with a white or black t-shirt and some blue jeans, and you’ll have a fashionable outfit. I recommended looking for a corduroy, jean, or leather jacket. Check out American Eagle or Nordstrom for some affordable, trendy, and cute options!
