Forget a capsule wardrobe, I believe that everyone needs a few brilliant basics (BBs) in your closet that you can literally pull on to bring any outfit to life. You will get good cost per wear out of these items as they are so versatile and go with so many different items. So if you can spend a little more on these items do, as the investment will be worth it. Here are some of my favorites.
Literally these go with anything. Jeans. Trousers. Skirts. Dresses. Shorts. Anything. I like to wear them with;
- a ripped jean and statement jumper or plain t-shirt
- a classic shift dress, boyfriend blazer and statement necklace
- some skinny trousers and a casual shirt
Don’t worry about pattern clashes, this just adds to the appeal!
BB 2 - The statement necklace.
Again they go with anything and will turn the most boring of outfits into something special. I have a collection of different ones that I have bought over time.
I like to wear them;
- over a denim shirt
- over a chunky knit jumper
- With a patterned dress
BB 3 - The classy handbag.
A good quality handbag will immediately bring a touch of class to any outfit and its the one area I would advise to spend a little more money if you can. Black will go with most outfits but you do tend to find most styles come in a variety of colours, so the choice is yours. I like a bigger bag for the day and a simple clutch for evenings.
BB4 - A checked shirt.
Shirts like this go with every different pair of bottoms you would have in your wardrobe.
I like to wear it with:
A statement necklace can also look great over a checked shirt.
You should be able to find a good selection of shirts in most high street shops.
I like to wear it with:
- My leather look leggings and simple black heels
- Skinny jeans and a pair of natural brogues
- Black slim leg trousers with animal print heels
A statement necklace can also look great over a checked shirt.
