7 Staples That Every Woman Needs in Her Closet

Trying to figure out what clothes you absolutely need in your wardrobe? Today, we’re counting down the must-haves for every woman out there, along with what to look for or do with each one.

1. Tailored Trousers

Everyone needs these. Tailored trousers are great for adding a touch of put-together style to even a generally casual look. 

What’s more, they can be used in a wide variety of ensembles. Put them together with your suit jackets and silk blouses for something smart, for instance, or with a loose jumper for something laid-back. 

2. A Good Pair of Jeans

Whether you opt for the high-waisted, straight-legged classics or the skinnier varieties, jeans are a must-have for every woman! 

Hard-wearing and extremely easy to pair with other clothes, jeans are your go-to for a lot of casual occasions. The best part is that they can be worn repeatedly too without most people realising they’re the same pair you wore the last time they saw you!

Aside from changing up the tops you pair with them, though, don’t forget to think about your footwear too. Most jeans will work as well with loafers as they will with pumps.

3. Sleek Loafers

Chic yet practical, versatile yet edgy. Loafers are amazing because they go with nearly everything, from trouser-and-blazer looks to dresses. 

The best part is that they’re so very comfortable too. Loafers are the perfect example of how women don’t need to suffer just to be fashionable.

When choosing a loafer, by the way, remember that there’s a fair bit of variety in the options as well. There are backless options from brands like Gucci, for example, as well as platform-heeled ones.

4. A Tank Top

A good tank top is hard to beat for comfort. At the same time, it radiates old-school cool like no other top can. 

Trot out your tank tops for the especially warm days – or even for relatively cool evenings, actually, as a good tank top can pair very well with a nice blazer. 

As an added tip, while it’s perfectly fine to choose a tank top in a statement colour, it’s often best to choose neutrals for this. It will make the tank top more versatile. 

5. A Light Blue Blouse

A woman’s light blue blouse isn’t an entry you’ll find in most clothing essentials lists of yesterday, but things are changing. Light blue blouses for women are actually among the most useful clothing staples of today. 

The magic here lies in the shade of light blue you choose. With the right hue, you can get something that’s almost neutral enough to pair with just about everything else in your closet… even while retaining more vibrance than a typical neutral blouse.

6. The Classic Button-down

Was there ever any doubt that this would be included? The button-down is another of those unbelievably versatile yet classic pieces of clothing: as viable with a pair of jeans as it is with a satin skirt.

For the easiest pairing results, get a white one, of course!

7. A Little Black Dress

And of course, you need a little black dress. When the evening events or cocktail parties roll in, there are few things that can fit the bill as well as a little black dress. 

Take note that you don’t have to wear the little black dress by itself each time. You can style it with a jacket, a scarf, and other things to give yourself a new look every night.
