When I talk about wardrobe staples, I'm referring to items that have longevity. These easy-to-style pieces are often the foundational elements in a closet. While everyone certainly has their own list of essentials based on personal style and preference, there are a few key items I'm gravitating toward and suggest to others because I don't think they'll ever really feel "tired" given their versatile nature.
Some of the pieces in question may be go-tos for you as well. There also could be some that aren't yet but are worth exploring if that's of interest. Regardless, you'll uncover a list of four wardrobe staples below that I think will be relevant for many seasons to come.

1. White Shirt
Oversize white shirting is a modern staple for many this season. This specific style will definitely hold strong for a while. White shirting, in general, will just never go "out" thanks to its classic nature.
2. Roomy Blazer
A strong tailored piece will never feel tired, including the blazer. This silhouette—particularly in a roomier cut—will elevate legit anything you're wearing.
3. Straight-Leg Blue Jeans
On the denim front, you just can't deny the power of tried-and-true straight-leg jeans in a blue wash. This staple choice will withstand the test of time.
4. Simple Black Dress/Slip Dress
The LBD is no-fail. A simple, strappy iteration is elegant and will work for many occasions for years and years to come.
