What I'd Pick FromReplica Store If I Could Only Wear 5 Pieces for an Entire Year

When I want to pare down my wardrobe, I often ask myself this: If I could only wear five pieces for an entire year, what would they be? This helps me tremendously to refocus my shopping habits and streamline my current collection. It's not easy to narrow it down so drastically, but it really puts things into perspective. For the sake of this exercise and my sanity, it only pertains to day-to-day clothing—not shoes, outerwear, pajamas, workout clothes, bags, and other accessories.
I recently revisited the question and came up with a great set of wardrobe essentials that I wouldn't mind wearing over and over again. It's not quite uniform dressing but more of a mini capsule collection of sorts. The pieces would need to withstand the fast-moving trend cycles as well. To put together this cohesive edit, I headed over to Nordstrom, which is home to endless elevated basics. To help visualize this selection, I turned to looks from one of my favorite style muses, Alexis Foreman, that feature these classic-cool pieces. Keep scrolling to see my top five picks and shop options for each.
1. White Button-Down Shirt
One of my main go-tos no matter the season is a white button-down shirt. It's great for both casual and elevated looks and can be worn in a variety of ways—open and layered, knotted, buttoned, half tucked, and more.
2. Neutral Blazer
One thing never fails when I wear a camel or tan blazer—I always receive a compliment. There is just something about a neutral blazer that feels polished. Plus, it is a chic break from your usual black option.
3. Black Crewneck T-Shirt
I know many of you might reach for white T-shirts, but black tees are my personal favorite. They go with just about everything and feel a little more put-together, so they can be worn more formally as well. Another plus? They are better at hiding spills and stains.
4. Straight-Leg Jeans
Straight-leg jeans have been my top denim pick for a better part of a decade now in a variety of washes and lengths. They feel classic and offer a lot of versatility when it comes to styling for any occasion.
5. Simple Black Dress
A simple black dress is a power player no matter the wardrobe, especially if you can style it for everyday wear and formal occasions. I didn't want to opt for a printed piece because I would get bored quickly, and the rewears would be super obvious. What's great here is you can change it up by layering on a blazer or an open button-down shirt. Another tip is to put the black T-shirt on top of the dress, which transforms it into a skirt.
Runners-Up: Neutral Oversize Sweater and Black Leggings
A neutral sweater with an oversize fit is perfect for layering in chilly weather. You can also tie or drape it over your shoulders for a stylish addition to your look. The black leggings are super comfortable and can transform from an everyday option to dinner-worthy attire with the right shoe pick.
