We all want this seasons trends in our closet, and with the trends changing each season it’s easy to get in a routine of purchasing these items. Although, without some closet essentials it’s going to be difficult to style these items to your liking. I mean, what’s a pair of baggy mom jeans without a simple crop top. Whether you want to dress up and turn heads at happy hour, or dress down and look cute, yet comfortable, for your bachelor wine nights, closet essentials are here for you. With the following items in your wardrobe you are bound to be able to style the latest trends effortlessly for years to come.

 

. Black Combat Boots

These boots can be styled with an edgier look, a softer look, or even your favorite pair of leggings making them an essential pair of shoe to have in your closet. Not only are combat boots effortlessly stylish, they are comfortable and can be worn for hours. When in doubt these shoes are always a good outfit go to. My favorite pair of black combat boots are from Dr. Martens; however, you can purchase them from almost any store from Forever 21 to Urban Outfitters.

. Jeans: Black, White, Dark Denim, and Light Denim

Since the dawn of time jeans have always been around to save the day. If you ever are in a I have nothing to wear situation then jeans are always a safe bet. Make sure you have at least one pair of black, white, dark wash denim, and light wash denim jeans in your closet so you’re prepared for any occasion. Also, have some variety of style. Maybe stick with skinny jeans for white and one kind of denim wash, but change it up with a black pair of mom jeans and a different wash of denim for bell bottom jeans. Variety is key.

. An Oversized Jean Jacket and a Bold Leather Jacket

The jean jacket went through a glow up while I was in college. Girls everywhere whether out at the bar or out at brunch were donning these jackets. The thing about this is that jean jackets were cool not too long ago with our parents rocking this trend in the 90’s. No matter what you are wearing a jean jacket or a cool leather jacket can spice up your outfit. A bold colored leather jacket thrown over jeans and a plain top can instantly turn your simple outfit into a chic one, the same way a jean jacket over sweats can turn your outfit in major street style.

. PLAIN White and Black Tops

This is a closet essential that has made my life a million times easier, and by plain I mean completely plain. No stripes, no logos, no patterns. Black and white are two colors you can pair with basically everything, which includes any trendy pair of pants, any trendy shoe whether sneaker or heels, and any cool accessories. I say you need both of these colors because sometimes one color may be more appropriate than the other. For example, black screams fall and winter while white screams spring and summer. Some styles of plain tops I make sure I have on hand are simple bodysuits, crop tops, and t-shirts.

Until next time. XOXO,

Brianna Harvey
