Closet Staples Every Wardrobe Should Have

1. White Tank Top

A white tank top can be paired with jeans, skirt, shorts, and even slacks!

This my favorite tank top from Amazon. It washes extremely well and fits great.

2. Crew Neck T-Shirts

Amazon Essentials Women's Regular-Fit Short-Sleeve T-Shirt (Crewneck and V-Neck Options), Pack of 2, Charcoal Heather/Light Grey Heather, X-Small

A crewneck t-shirt is great for layering or to wear on its own during the warmer months. These have stretch in them and are true to size. If you don’t want it as fitted to the body, size up.

3. Bodysuit

For a clean fitted look, a bodysuit is great. This amazon bodysuit is actually comfortable! I always size up in bodysuits because they have stretch.

4. Blazer

A blazer is great not only for work but to dress up jeans like you see in this model photo! Pair with shorts and heels and you have a chic summer outfit too.

5. Chambray Shirt

A chambray shirt looks good on its own year round but in the winter you can also style it under a sweater, roll up the cuffs of the sweater and let the tail of the shirt peeking out looks so beautiful and chic.

6. Black Tank Top

This tank top is another great basic and is great on its own or layered. The fit is looser than the white tank top above. I’ve been wearing this style non stop with biker shorts, it has good length that covers the bum.

7. White Button Down

There’s something about a white button down that makes an outfit look so chic and clean cut! A button down has endless styling possibilities so its a must have in your closet.

8. Black Dress

Whether you wear it to work or out, a black dress will always be in style.

9. Black Pencil Skirt

11. Jeans

A good pair of non ripped jeans are essential, they can be dressed up with a blazer and heels or dressed down with sneakers.
