5 Wardrobe Basics Everyone Should Have in Their Closet
Every stylish wardrobe starts with a solid foundation. The key is to stock up on classic, timeless pieces that can be paired with almost anything in your closet. Having these reliable basics will make it possible to create trendy outfits with little effort!
Check out our list of the top five essentials everyone should have in their wardrobe:
Grey and white t-shirts from Goodwill
#1: Basic t-shirts
There’s no article of clothing quite as versatile as a t-shirt! They look great on their own or as a layering piece with sweaters, scarves, or flannel shirts. Not sure how to wear statement pants or skirts? Pair them with a plain white or black tee to balance out your look! We recommend looking for t-shirts in a soft, breathable fabric like cotton and stocking up in several different colors.
Black dress from Goodwill
#2: Little black dress
Every closet needs at least one little black dress (or LBD). There are several traditional styles to choose from, including a-line, sheath, and high-waist, to name just a few! If you’re not sure what style is right for you, you can’t go wrong with a wrap dress. This style is known to be universally flattering, any time of the year!
Button up shirt from Goodwill
#3: Button-up shirt
Another wardrobe essential is a crisp, button-up shirt. Wear it to an interview, a nice dinner, or just a day at the office. You can find a great selection of button-up shirts in all colors and styles when you shop at Goodwill.
Cardigan sweater from Goodwill
#4: Cardigan sweater
Cardigan sweaters are a must-have for every time of year, especially if you get cold easily. Look for cardigans in a neutral shade like gray, black, or tan. This way, your sweater will match with just about anything in your wardrobe!
Jeans from Goodwill
#5: Dark-wash jeans
From skinny to boyfriend to bootcut, there are so many choices when it comes to jeans! It’s smart to have at least one pair of dark-wash jeans in your closet. Because they’re not too casual and not too dressy, dark wash jeans are perfect for taking an outfit from day to night.
