Essentials

Hello there! I hope you're having a good day and thank you for taking the time to look at my newest post! I thought I would make an updated wardrobe essentials post as Polyvore have recently made a contest about style essentials. I have narrowed the list down to only the basic items you need to create any style of outfit! If you scroll down I've also jotted a few points as to why these are the best things to mix-and-match with!

Leather jacket — The ultimate finishing touch for any outfit. There are so many different styles which are allt perfect with pretty much everything and can never go out of style.

Winter coat — A thick, chunky, warm coat are great in the colder months. They are easy to style and layer well with almost everything!

Denim jacket — Another basic piece which can really spruce up an outfit. With several different styles, it's easy to mix up an outfit with this one item. Also super useful to have as a go-to casual jacket.

Blouse/Shirt — Super handy to have for any semi-formal occasions or just to dress up an outfit! 

Jeans — Wardrobe must-have! So many colours and styles to pick from, you can never have enough! Blue and black jeans are, in my opinion, a necessity.

Going out dress — It's always useful to have a pretty dress in the wardrobe for any events you may be invited too! Also great for any special dinners, parties or dates!

Day dress — Great piece for the any weather! Self explanatory but definitely useful to have around. From short summer dresses to skater dress, they can cover all the bases.

Cardigan —Great for throwing on in the cold-but-not-freezing weather. Simple addition yet toasty and comfortable! 

Jumper — All styles of jumpers or sweaters are perfect for the colder weather where layering is key. They keep you warm and comfortable while still looking your best. With so many different looks it's a must-have for winter!

T-shirt — Plain shirts are key to any simple outfit. Having a white, grey and black shirt lying around can help bring together any look. The basic can easily compliment a patterned item when worn together!

Skirt —Skirts help to flatter anyone and any outfit. Can easily but dressed up or down and work in any weather conditions! There are so many different styles too!

Sandals — Great shoes for the hot weather. Definitely a must have for the summer. Super easy to dress up or down.

Brogues —Great for those special occasions and dressing up a casual outfit.

Boots — Perfect for the winter weather and even summer festival outfits.  There are so many different styles from ankle, chelsea, moto and wellington, it is hard to choose!

Sneakers ― Such as Converse, Keds and Vans. Super comfortable and helps makes outfits look effortless yet still trendy. Great for school or university!

Handbag — Shove in your junk and be on your way! Easy to style with any outfit and great for completing a look.

Sunglasses — Keep the sun out of your eyes while still being stylish! 

Watch — Cute addition and finishing touch! Extremely handy for those who are always running a tad late!

Jewellery — One of the easiest items to find and wear. Helps give your outfit that little extra something.

Hat — A proper hat (bowler, porkie, fedora) are a unique way to really personalise an outfit!

Beanie — Keep your ears warm and still look great in the winter!Scarfs ― Great addition to any outfit and also the best way to be snug and warm when it's chilly.
