4 Reasons Why Basics Are An Important Part Of Your Closet
Hello Posh Squad,
When working with clients or helping friends, I emphasize the importance of including a healthy mix of basics, in addition to statement pieces, into their wardrobes.
What are wardrobe basics, anyway?
Basics are those items that can serve many purposes and are a great foundation for dressing well. Examples include a great pair of jeans, black dress pants, button down shirts, shells, tanks, t-shirts, and more.
They are often understated and can either play the background or take center stage — depending on the outfit.
What’s the right mix of basics and statement pieces?
The ratio of basics to statement pieces will be different for every woman, and is influenced by your lifestyle, personality, and professional and social engagements. Keeping those factors in mind when shopping and planning your outfits will help you maintain the appropriate balance.
(Sorry, there’s no magic formula.)
4 reasons why “basics” are an essential part of your wardrobe
- Your closet basics are the foundational pieces that ensure your outfits are well-balanced. They help you tie in more bold or dressy elements, without competing for attention.
- They can stand on their own to create a clean understated look.
- Basics are great for layering.
- They’re not so “basic” anymore. Luxe fabrics and interesting details have elevated today’s wardrobe staples.
Do you have the appropriate mix of basics in your closet?
Take a quick look in your closet to see if you have the appropriate mix of basics. If not, it may be time to add a few pieces…
