23 Items Everyone Should Own
Happy 2023! In my opinion, a great way to kick off a new year is to evaluate what we have in our wardrobe and make sure it sets us up for a stylish year ahead. And if not, you can always add some pieces to it from the January sales 😉
With that in mind, today’s blog post will cover 23 key items of clothing, shoes and accessories that I believe everyone should own. If you have these pieces, it’ll make dressing for the year both simple and effective.
1. A good quality t-shirt
In your shade of white that fits you perfectly, a classic staple you’ll wear over and over
2. A t-shirt with stripes
For fun yet chic style, take inspiration from the French and add some class into your day looks
3. The best button-down shirt for you
Not just your average shirt, one with interest that expresses your personality
4. Knitwear with personality
Alongside your plain knits, it’s good to have something a little special for fun winter moments
5. Denim Jacket
They are so versatile and not just for the spring, wear them in the winter as a cool under layer
6. Biker Jacket
Either smart or sexy, both for casual occasions and when you want to dress up
7. Jeans that fit you well
They are out there, find your best fit and don’t skimp on quality, the right pair will last forever and not go out of style
8. A patterned bottom
The party doesn’t always have to be on the top – add some colour to your bottom half
9. A piece in your favourite colour
Your favourite colour doesn’t just have to be a phone case – add it into your wardrobe
10. Something to wear to a wedding
Surprise weddings happen – you should always be prepared to look amazing!
11. Nice underwear
Do something nice for yourself – you’ll stand with confidence and you never know who’ll see it
12. Pyjamas you’re not embarrassed of
For when you might have to stay overnight with friends and family somewhere – you don’t want to get caught short
13. Smart trainers
Smart enough not to run in but casual enough to tone down a formal look
14. Hard working boots
Good quality boots you that go with everything will come in handy for any occasion life throws at you
15. Sandals that are comfy and cool
Let your feet breathe in style this summer, flip flops and crocs don’t have to be your only warm weather shoes
16. Nude shoes
Don’t ruin a light coloured outfit with a black shoe
17. Nude tights/socks
For those times when you want to look like you’re not wearing tights/socks
18. A smart bag to match your smart shoes
Don’t ruin a nice outfit with a tattered backpack, just like the belt matching a shoe, match your bag to your look
19. Light/thin summer clothing
Temperature’s rising….invest in linen and cheesecloth and avoid those sweat patches
20. Something to wear with your swimwear
Swimwear alone isn’t the full look and you don’t want to ruin a day top with water after a dip in the pool
21. Heatkeeping clothing
There’s so many heat-tech type clothing out there, keep yourself toasty stylishly
22. Touchscreen gloves
It’s 2023 – no shame in using your phone and keeping warm
23. An icebreaker accessory
Something that shows your personality that you can talk about at interviews/dates
So that’s everything in my opinion as a Personal Stylist. Of course clothing is soo personal and on a Wardrobe Edit with me, I can identify what the gaps in your wardrobe are and make a shopping list that’s tailored to you! 😄
