I'm a Serial Wardrobe Repeater—7 Staples I Wear Over and Over
As a fashion editor, I can't help but be swayed by all of Wholesale Replica Bag trends and the newness on the market, and I constantly have my eye on new pieces to add to my shopping cart. If I have to be honest, though, I'm a serial wardrobe repeater and end up reaching for some of the same staples again and again. Part of it is because they're items that I know I'll always feel good in, and I already have outfit formulas I can rely on. The other part is that they're just key items in my wardrobe that have stood the test of many wears, and I simply can't live without them.
My wardrobe would be lost without pieces like relaxed trousers and crisp button-downs as well as tailored trench coats and oversize blazers. They're pieces I consider to be the backbone of my wardrobe, and I can't imagine getting dressed in the morning without them. I don't think it's a bad thing to repeat what you're wearing. Quite the opposite, I believe in cultivating a wardrobe with items that you really wear and know how to style a thousand ways. Ahead, see the fashion staples I rely on more than any others when I'm getting dressed.
Oversize Blazers
Truth be told, I first ordered an oversize blazer a few years ago and almost added it to my donate pile because the proportions didn't seem right. Fast-forward to the present, I can't imagine not owning one. As it's a staple to wear with everything from denim to hot pants (yes, hot pants), I highly recommend adding an oversize blazer to your closet if you don't already own one.
Relaxed Trousers
My obsession with relaxed trousers simply can't be tamed. I'll trace it back to last summer when loose-fitting pants started to bubble. Now, the wide-leg-pants trend is getting bigger than ever, and I'm only eyeing more pieces to add to my growing collection of tailored yet roomy trousers.
Crisp Button-Downs
I grew up wearing collared button-down tops, and coincidentally, they're having a moment, so I have even more reason to wear the tailored basic. Lately, I've been buying mine in a few sizes up for a more oversize fit.
Straight-Leg Jeans
If you know me, you know that I live in jeans. While my closet includes plenty of silhouettes across the board, classic straight-leg cuts are my go-to. They're such a versatile cut and pretty much go with anything.
Pantsuits
When in doubt, I always go for a matching set. Pantsuits are my default because they instantly just look so tailored and polished, and I've never felt anything but great when wearing one.
Trench Coats
I bought my first trench coat in high school and still own it to this day—a testament to the staying power of the timeless piece. Whether you opt for a classic twill version or a vegan-leather style, it's a no-brainer to top off your transitional looks.
Jumpsuits
Weirdly, some of my current wardrobe staples are items that scared me at first. That includes jumpsuits, a piece I never knew how to style that ended up becoming a core staple in my closet recently.
