1. Slim Cut Jeans
Fit and wash are the most important aspect of your denim. Go for a tailored, true blue wash that will go with everything.
2. A Crisp White Button Up
Whether you’re at work, going for dinner, or taking a Sunday stroll, a white dress shirt will always be your best friend. To help keep the original quality of your shirt, dry cleaning is always the way to go.
3. Black Formal Shoes
When it comes to shoes, black pumps are the most versatile and classic shoe for women. It’s best to opt for a toe that’s not too pointy nor too rounded, and has a thin to medium 2-4-inch heel.
For men, the oxford is the most basic and timeless of all dress shoes and is a great starting point if you’re looking for a classic staple. Oxfords are perfectly suited for almost any outfit and occasion.
4. A Black Wide-Brimmed Hat
Men or women, young and old, styles of all kinds, a wide brimmed hat is a multi-seasonal wardrobe staple for every fashionable man or woman.
5. Classic Sneakers
An understated, yet essential fashion piece for every man and woman. How can you beat the comfort and look of a clean, white, classic sneaker?
6. A Tailored Black Blazer
Another must have piece for everyone is a tailored black blazer. The key to this piece is in its fit. If you don’t want to splurge on a new one, a trip to the tailor is so worth it when it comes to a timeless piece like this. Sleeves should hit right at your wrists, the front should be fitted but not pull around your chest and your shoulders should have enough room to layer underneath.
7. A Neutral Leather Carry All
Spending a couple hundred dollars on this season’s “it” bag seems like a good idea at the time, but we promise you won’t want to be toting around a “zesty lime” carry all for years to come and you’ll find that it doesn’t seem to go with as much in your closet as you thought it would. Whether you’re a light traveler, or you carry your life in your bag; a good quality, neutral bag is a must have.
8. Cashmere Sweater
During the colder months, a cozy knit collection is a must-have. Layer them over your dress shirts during the week and pair with your favorite denim on the weekend. Throwing on cashmere makes you feel instantly luxurious.
9. A Black Scarf
As we have mentioned before, Vogue has dubbed the scarf “the new necklace.” The perfect addition to every outfit, a scarf adds warmth while also completing your look.
10. A Khaki Trench Coat
A khaki trench coat seems to be one of those items that takes a while to make its way into everyone’s closet. It seems unnecessary…that is, until you have one of your own. A timeless tan trench coat is the most versatile piece for transitional seasons and perfect for traveling, It will last for years.
11. The Perfect Tee
