Must-Have Items for a Chic Wardrobe

By Venessa CadePublished 3 years ago 4 min read

Fashion trends can be overwhelming at times. Each week, there is something new in the market and an item that you recently bought is meant to seem out of fashion. Moreover, we all are on a budget and can’t keep buying wardrobe items every single week. So, what kind of items should we keep in our wardrobe?

While traveling in South Asia, I saw so many variations of Pakistani Maria B Velvet collection that inspired me to experiment too. Since then I create fun combos every day with my own stylish staples. Here are a few to inspire you as well...

A Black Dress

Every fashion blog and magazine might have suggested you keep a black dress in your wardrobe. And they are not wrong. A black dress is your ultimate savior if you are headed to work, a party or even at your grandma’s. It can give you an instantly stylish look. So, keep a black dress in your wardrobe and wear it differently each time you head out.

A Turtleneck Sweater

It is the perfect clothing item for winter and spring. If you have a flight to catch, wear it with classy denim to stay warm. If you have an evening party to attend, wear it with a floral or leather skirt to pull off a perfect look. Don’t forget to wear hoops and leather boots with the combos. 

A Linen Jacket

Want to feel comfortable while wearing your favorite clothes? Opt for a classic linen jacket to feel sexy and comfortable at the same time. Go for the ones with floral or geometric patterns. Pair the jacket with dress pants or a black skirt to pull off a perfect work look. 

Leather Boots

Nothing can go wrong with high heeled leather boots. These are the perfect choice for you whether you are headed to work or an evening date. Wear a classy blazer and a shirt dress with these boots and stand out from the crowd.

A White Dress Shirt

A white shirt dress is perfect for effortlessly pulling off an interview or work look. The key is to buy a good one. While there are many white shirts available in the market, go for the expensive ones as these are generally of better quality. Trust me, you will not feel bad for the money that you spent on buying these after a couple of months.

A Black Blazer

Blazers are perfect clothing items to perfect a look. But you have to make sure that the blazers flatter your body shape. A classic black blazer especially has to be a perfect-fitting one for it to look great on you. So, plan to take some time for the fitting room whenever you head out to shop.

Colorful Scarves

Scarves can make any piece of clothing look stylish. Wearing a crop top with denim? A floral scarf will give you the perfect chic look. Wearing a floral dress? Pair it with a long pastel scarf to look dreamy and mesmerizing. So, keep a good collection of printed colorful scarves in your wardrobe to perfect every look.

Black Pumps

Black pumps are the most precious wardrobe items for sure. If you have to go to work, wear black leggings and a dress shirt to make heads turn in your direction. If you have a hot date, pair black pumps with a crop top and a leather skirt to look sexy and voguish. If you want to go bolder, wear cat-eye liner and red lipstick.

Khaki Pants

These pants are a must when you are going on a day trip. Pair it with a blue dress shirt and classic sunglasses to look adventurous and stylish. You can also wear a crop top with khaki trousers to pull off a casual look.

Skinny Jeans

These can make any item look great. If you have to go grocery shopping, wear these with a V-neck shirt or a crop top to create a perfect casual look. If you have to go to a party, wear a classy slip or net shirt with black jeans to look gorgeous and ravishing.

Dress Pants

Dress pants are the perfect choice for both the classic work and night look. Go all black on work by pairing black dress pants with a black shirt. Or you can wear a red or mauve blouse with black pants to stand out from the crowd on a night out.

V-Neck Shirts

The best part of this clothing item is that it is cheap. So, you can buy a couple of V-Neck shirts and wear these on repeat. Pair a classic V-Neck shirt with a net maxi to an afternoon party. Pair a checkered V-Neck shirt with denim to look chic while grocery shopping.

Final Words

These 12 wardrobe items are sure to make you look stylish and chic every day. So, whether your style is defined by the Eastern women party wear dresses or the western one, make sure that you have these wardrobe staples to feel confident and comfortable every time you head out.
