7 Wardrobe Foundations Fashion Experts Are Backing for 2024
Sponsor Content Created With NET-A-PORTER
2024 has officially arrived, and the January reset is underway. Alongside our New Year's resolutions (mine are to bring lunch to work and spend more time outdoors), we like to use the fresh slate of a new year as a moment to take stock of our wardrobes and ready them for the 12 months ahead.
To kick things off, we're focusing on the most hard-working elements of our wardrobes: the foundation pieces. And with a few months of winter already behind us, we've had time to identify the styles we wear the most along with perhaps those that are missing from our capsules. Now is the time to fill those gaps or replenish our much-loved pieces in preparation for the new year. Naturally, we're turning to NET-A-PORTER.
True to form, NET-A-PORTER is ahead of the game, having created a sleek edit of elevated and considered styles to bolster your outfits this year and beyond. As a one-stop shop for all our fashion buys from classic staples to bold, trend-led pieces, we often find ourselves turning to the luxury retailer when updating our wardrobes, and this new, refined edit is no different. It encapsulates the wardrobe foundations we think are key; those classic styles that make for easy outfit curations and can be layered up with trending pieces throughout the year depending on the occasion and season.
For the current season, we've honed in on seven foundational items that can be slotted into your wardrobe rotations as soon as they arrive on your doorstep. You'll find a mix of cosy knits and elegant coats that will serve you for the rest of this winter and every other to come, along with reliable denim styles from jeans to skirts that crop up every season, making them wise investments. Wide-leg, tailored trousers remain a key player for everything from casual outfits to work and evening looks, and below you'll find some of our favourite versions.
There's also forever footwear from mid-heels to knee-high boots, having proven their versatility over the years. And finally, every great look deserves a great bag to accompany it, and we've picked out three stand-out styles that will be treasured additions to your wardrobe for years to come.
Keep scrolling to explore NET-A-PORTER's latest edit of the wardrobe foundations we're investing in for 2024.
