WARDROBE ESSENTIALS
1- TOPS
Regarding the tops, you should have some pieces of these categories:
-LIGHT KNIT
First, you should have a light knit that you could layer in the colder months and wear on its own in spring and those colder nights in the summer months. The idea is to have a knit that you could wear all year. These from Zara are great, and the material is impressive.
Opt for some in neutral colors first to make it easier to style at the beginning.
– CRISP WHITE SHIRT
A crisp white shirt is also a must-have! This item is such a timeless and versatile piece. You absolutely need to have it!
If you are an avid reader of our magazine you would know that we are massive fans of a timeless and classy white shirt. We’ve made a post all about how to style an oversized shirt where we go into detail on how to perfectly tie your shirt and the various ways of styling it.
This is an item that is mandatory in everyone’s wardrobe. Definitely get one ASAP if you haven’t already. We guarantee you that you will not regret it.

– PLAIN WHITE TEE
A basic top/ t-shirt is also a great wardrobe essential. Not only does it multiply your outfit options but it will also be fantastic for laying during the colder months.
These items usually are pretty affordable. However, when buying this style of basics you should really pay attention to the quality of the items. Definitely opt for Zara’s basics, they have amazing quality and price (check out the links).
If you want to initiate your basic top collection start by buying only black and white ones. Don’t overwhelm yourself with all the colors, these 2 colors are more than enough and definitely the ones you will use more.
2- OUTERWEAR
By adding a piece of outerwear to your outfit, you can look instantly more stylish! It will break the plainness of a basic look. There are at least 3 pieces of outerwear that you should have in your collection.
-LEATHER JACKET
A leather jacket is another wardrobe must-have. Definitely more suited for colder months than a denim jacket.
This is an item that you probably already have in your wardrobe. If that is the case then you absolutely need to bring it back and use it. It is such a versatile piece it would be a shame to not wear it.
On the other hand, if don’t own a black leather jacket definitely invest in one. We love this one from Zara. It is super well-made and has a great price. 10/10 a great option.
-TRENCH COAT
A trench coat is such a timeless piece. It is that type of item that not only looks super stylish but is also very practical.
Burberry has the iconic trench that we all adore! However, don’t be discouraged if you cannot buy the Burberry one. There are so much more alternatives in the high street! We love Zara’s and Mango’s designs, they have amazing quality and a good fit.
Once again, choose carefully and pay attention to the fabrics. Don’t buy a trench that has a flimsy material. It will look cheap. Opt for a more robust fabric that will actually have a structure.
-STRUCTURED BLAZER
Blazers are a perfect basic to have in your closet. They will make your outfit instantly more stylish and are one of the most versatile pieces you can own.
For the past 2 years, blazers have been super on-trend not only in fall and winter but also during spring and even summer.
Plus they make the perfect layering piece which is ideal for transitioning into fall and winter. Just by adding a blazer, you can really transform a simple t-shirt and jeans look. We love it!
3- PANTS
Regarding the bottoms, in this wardrobe-essentials edit, we choose to only focus on denim and pants because, let’s be honest, that is what we wear 90% of the time.
Having a go-to style of pants will help you a lot. The trendiest and timeless styles you should try are the mom fit, flared/ wide-leg, and high-rise slim flare.
We did a whole post about denim with all you need to know about every style of jeans, definitely check it out – THE ULTIMATE DENIM GUIDE.
Once you found some styles that really suit you and that you feel comfortable in, you should have at least one pair of each color – black, white, and light wash. With this selection, you will be able to compose many outfits and always look good in them.
4- FOOTWEAR
As for footwear, you should really invest in it! Having good footwear pieces is essential to finish an outfit, but more important than that, it is necessary for your health. A good base is crucial to avoid back problems, and it makes every journey 100% easier.
Because of that, we recommend you to have in your collection some flat pairs and sneakers.
