F or most of us, staple blue jeans, white or black button-down shirts, or t-shirts, and complementing shoes is often the go-to outfit of the day.
When nothing else makes sense, some timeless looks become a fuss-free alternative; like a best friend that you can take for granted. This need for basic clothing items has become even more important to millennials and even Vogue joined in to list down the everyday must-haves.
Other than the classic denim jeans, cotton pants, polo shirts, skirts, and office wear, there are some personal favorites too. These we cherish for years to come, reusing them with all sorts of outfits. Like the classic red lipstick is for women or a maroon tie is for men, some items are just effortless, timeless, and always in fashion.
They make for our most used wardrobe items too. Ever wonder about more of such items that you can add to your closet? Here’s a list to give you a direction to think in:
A Bold Blazer
A blazer does not ask for much to be bold; the cut, the fit, the color, and the button details are enough to make it a versatile clothing item that can be styled from day into night.
Putting on a blazer with basic jeans, and a knitted shirt (for ‘em ladies), or a basic t-shirt (for the lads) is an instant outfit upgrade.
Even a slightly loose and big blazer look has been lately in so we are confident that blazers are forever to stay!
Sunglasses
Why not make a selection of sunglasses to adorn all your looks? Clubmasters, aviators, and even the latest chunky and studded ones have all made a comeback time and again.
So, we know for sure that sunglasses hardly ever go out of fashion. The stylists The Hollywood Reporter have also published a look-book of the hottest sunglasses that must make it to everyone’s wardrobe in 2022.
Sneakers
If you’ve been on the internet as much as we have, you must have encountered hundreds of casual sneaker looks. From celebrities to their reporters, everyone’s wearing sneakers!
Be it with the platform, or without, sneakers have made a comeback like none other. In 2022, we are all screaming sneakers!
There are a variety of sneaker designs, and brands to choose from. Even Alexander McQueen has launched a collection in their edgy aesthetic. Here’s a list by The Trend Spotter for some inspiration.
Striped T-Shirt
Who doesn’t love the classic striped t-shirt? Well, it doesn’t matter where this trend started from, but we are definitely here for it!
A classic striped t-shirt look can be paired with jeans, pants, skirt, shorts, or even worn with a bold blazer on top. It complements most looks and gives a calm and casual vibe.
Wear it to the beach, or at an office brunch with tailor-stitched pants and a chunky necklace, and it will have your back!
Leather or Biker Jacket
Another staple that is good to wear in most parts of America all year round is the jacket!
The statement black leather jacket never goes out of fashion and is a versatile article. Whether you riding your bike or going to the pub with friends, the leather jacket is a forever no-fuss item.
A Jersey Dress
For the lovely ladies reading, this one’s for you.
A long jersey dress is a feel-good wardrobe item that can be packed away for years. It’s a lovely pick that does not age and will wrap around your body like a warm hug. A solid color is an even better choice when it comes to jersey dresses.
Complete the look with combat boots, or pumps, and take along an investment handbag. You can also tie a belt at the best for extra oomph!
In Conclusion
For all the versatile, most used wardrobe items, the important thing is for you to know how you’d like to wear them, and what’s your style.
Whilst some women love to put on a leather jacket with their cocktail dress, some might enjoy the look more with a blazer.
For men too, they might get more pleasure out of combat boots instead of sneakers.
Wardrobe staples are very much a personal voice; comfort and personal style are first and foremost! What becomes the most used item in your closet will also be the one you feel most confident in.
