T-shirts

There’s nothing quite as comfortable as a t-shirt, and a classic tee is a great foundation for any outfit. Stock up on t-shirts in neutral colors like white, gray, or black to layer with scarves or vests. You can easily dress up a plain tee by wearing it under a blazer and pairing it with a stylish necklace or brooch. Or, search for fun graphic tees to add a pop of color to your day-to-day wardrobe. With an ever-changing inventory that’s refreshed each day, Ohio Valley Goodwill is your go-to for basic t-shirts in a variety of colors and styles.

Jeans

A great pair of jeans never goes out of style. Denim can be worn in almost every season and comes in many different types of washes and fits. Look to Goodwill to revive your wardrobe with the perfect pair of jeans. Whether you’re searching for dark wash skinny jeans or a faded bootcut style, you’re bound to find a great pair of jeans at a price that’s far more affordable than typical retail stores.

Button-up shirts

Another classic staple piece to add to your closet is a crisp white or black button-up shirt. Pair button-up shirts with a streamlined pencil skirt or dress slacks for a professional wear-to-work outfit, or leave your shirt untucked with jeans for a more casual look. At Ohio Valley Goodwill, our retail stores are always stocked with button-up shirts in a variety of colors and styles.

Little black dress

The little black dress, popularly known as the ” LBD,” is a dependable wardrobe staple that can be worn in any season, for any occasion. With the right pair of shoes and a few accessories, you can transform a simple black dress into an instant fashion statement at your next event. Luckily, finding the perfect ” LBD” doesn’t need to break the bank when you shop at Ohio Valley Goodwill. We have a great selection of casual, professional, and formal black dresses in a variety of styles and sizes at some of the best prices around.
