There are 6 wardrobe staples that are always in my closet. These are pieces that will always be available for me to style and restyle over time. To me, a wardrobe staple is something that will never go out of style. These items can be worn together or individually with other outfits.
Sure, there will be different versions of my wardrobe staples, but ultimately I will have one of each on hand at all times. Below are not only my staples, but me wearing each of these items (and sometimes a combination of them). I’m breaking the cardinal rule of blogging by showing curated and uncurated photos, but sometimes you just need to see some real life. The images that I’m posting span over the past 3 years.
1. Distressed Denim Jeans
I have a few pairs of distressed denim jeans in my closet. There is so much versatility in having this style of jeans. You can dress them up for an evening out or dress them down for a casual look or cozy weekend day.
2. Graphic T-shirts
Graphic t-shirts are perfect to wear with almost any type of bottom (pants, skirts, shorts). My favorite way to wear a graphic tee is to wear under a blazer. It gives a fun yet put-together vibe.
3. Black Faux Leather Jacket
Wearing a black faux leather jacket always makes me feel so chic and like a badass at the same time. I don’t know how many other clothing items can accomplish that, but this one does.
4. Classic Pumps
A classic pair of pumps will always be in style. Each decade has had their version of a classic pump, all wardrobe must-haves at that time. I have at minimum a neutral pair and a black pair. You can’t go wrong with owning a pair of these shoes.
5. Hoops
My go-to accessory is a classic pair of hoops. I don’t care what I’m wearing if I throw hoops on, it’s an instant outfit pick me up. In my jewelry rack, I have several different version of hoops, but nothing beats a simple gold or silver pair. I kid you not, follow relmstyle on Instagram and you’ll see that most days, I’m wearing hoops.
6. Denim Jacket
I wasn’t initially going to include a denim jacket, but I thought “who am I kidding.” I’m wearing denim jackets on the regular (no seriously, almost daily). To me, a denim jacket can go over almost any outfit. And if you live in Central Cali like me, then you will be wearing your denim jacket all year round.
Closing Statement
With each of my 6 wardrobe staples, they are incredibly versatile. You can wear them up or down, take them from day to night, and mix and match with other outfits. To me, these items make a small wardrobe go a long way. How about you? What are your staples? Leave a comment below to let me know.
