In an effort to streamline my closet and shopping habits, I often like to take a moment to focus on my forever wardrobe. In my case (and many others), this capsule collection is often composed of elevated basics that will always look stylish and are guaranteed to get a lot of wear throughout the years. With that in mind, it's no wonder that I often lean heavily into classic pieces when creating the backbone of my closet.

During my wardrobe reset, I further edited my favorites into a cohesive collection of essentials I know I can and will rely on for many years to come. They all make for easy dressing and can be mixed and matched with trendy pieces that will come and go along the way. Think white button-downs, tailored blazers, and more. Keep scrolling to check out six pieces I'd pick for my forever wardrobe with a little visual outfit inspiration on how to wear each.

Store: Black Button-Downs

Swap For: White Button-Downs

While I do love a great black button-down, there's nothing like a classic white version. It instantly makes any ensemble look more put-together, making getting ready easy.

Store: Raw-Hem Jeans

Swap For: Simple Straight-Leg Jeans

Don't get me wrong; I'm a fan of so many denim styles, but simple straight-leg jeans will always have my heart. They work for just about any personal style and can easily be dressed up or down.

Store: Super-Trendy Dresses

Swap For: Timeless Black Dresses

Timeless dresses are part of the backbone of a great closet. The key is to find options that are simple without any super-trendy details. These always look fashionable and the styling possibilities are endless.

Store: Boxy Blazers

Swap For: Tailored Blazers

Boxy blazers are still a major trend, but there's something so classic and polished about a more tailored fit. The style elevates any look and can be worn a variety of ways.

Store: Chunky Loafers

Swap For: Classic Loafers

Classic loafers are always a mainstay in my closet since they are comfortable and stylish and help to ground any look. Wear them with everything from jeans to dresses.

Store: Statement Bags

Swap For: Understated Bags
