These will help you build a closet filled with clothes you can wear everyday, and for just about every occasion. Just by having these 32 pieces (or some version of them) in your year around wardrobe you will be able to mix and match them to create over one hundred outfit possibilities (and that doesn’t include everything else you have in your closet!) HELLO endless outfit possibilities!

Tops

Keeping your wardrobe essentials in neutral colors like, white, grey, black, navy or olive helps ensure endless outfit possibilities. Adding in color is great and totally a personal preference. But if you are wanting to know where to begin, start with your neutral basic tops first!

Jeans

We all know how much I love my jeans. I wear them almost daily for nine months out of the year. AGOLDE, Everlane, Levi’s and MOTHER jeans are what I consider my denim essentials, and each style shown below works well with the 2022 jean trends! I’m loving the variety of different silhouettes right now from straight leg, to bootcut, flare and wide leg.

Jackets

A classic stye jacket is the piece that can elevate any outfit. Adding a third piece like a jacket to a basic top and pair of jeans will bring polish, structure, and look effortless in seconds. These are the timeless, elegant jacket styles I recommend having in your year around wardrobe. Investing in these classic styles means you will have them for years to come, and they can be easily incorporated with what’s already in your wardrobe.

Shoes

This list are what I consider to be my top shoe essentials, from boots and mules to all the comfy, fashion sneakers!
