Hey everyone, it’s Sophie from The Forge again. How are you all enjoying the summer so far? I am currently visiting family in Germany and while I was packing for this trip a few weeks ago I came up with the idea to do a closet essentials post for you all. We all have items in our closet that we couldn’t do without and go back to all the time.
So here are 15 items that are essential to my closet:
- A basic dark tee (this one is charcoal gray) goes with mostly anything.
- The white v-neck tee should be an absolute must in anybody’s closet because it can be easily dressed up or down.
- A simple tee with a bold print to spice things up a bit.
- I pretty much live in a good gingham or plaid shirt.
- A simple cardigan for layering will keep you warm on a chilly summer night.
- Leggings – No explanation needed!
- A skinny belt helps you define your waist when layering.
- Statement necklaces add some sparkle or a bright pop of color to an outfit.
- A great fitting blazer will be your best friend and never go out of style.
- LBD (little black dress) or really any dress that makes you look and feel great. Go turn some heads, ladies :)
- A flowy a-line, knee length skirt looks great on most body types and looks cute and feminine.
- Maxi skirts are super comfortable and who cares if you didn’t get to shave…
- A great fitting pair of wide leg jeans.
- A pair of skinny jeans in a bold color or basic denim (or both, you know!).
- A pair of denim cut-offs for casual, hot summer days.
Great post ladies! I definitely need help in this department. I’m one of the thousands of women with a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. I have no idea how to put it together if I did have something to wear tho lol I hope you will make this into a series to expand on the basics. I’m going to see which ones I have and which ones I need!! thanks again!
