Save Your Wardrobe: 10 Classics You Need in Your Closet

The first thing that everyone should understand about fashion is that it turns in cycles. Styles that look good today will look good tomorrow ... with a touch of something chic, of course. Stocking up on classic styles makes style sense – no matter what you “dress it up” with, the simple, impeccable style of some specific pieces will always work well. 

Take a few minutes to flip through your own closet wardrobe. How many pieces are in there that are already “so five minutes ago”? If you take a look at these clothes, you’ll notice that they were dressed up with extras, or cut in lines that were a fab hit for about fifteen minutes. I notice that a lot of these are the ones I wear once or twice before gagging and wondering, “What was I thinking?” ... not something that you want to have cramming your closet hangers. 

Now, look specifically for the clothes that you’ve had for months – possibly years – and still wear whenever you get the chance. These are usually the simple sweaters, plain blouses, and well-made jeans that you couldn’t live without. 

How can you make sure that your closet is filled with stuff you love, and not stuff you’ll regret spending your hard-earned pennies on? Keep reading. 


Materials, Tailoring, and Dressing It Up 

When you head to the store hoping to buy something new for your wardrobe, don’t pinch your pennies. Look for pieces that are well-made and in good fabrics. These will feel better, wear longer, and look better on you. Often, you can find a piece or two on the clearance rack that will cost the same as something at a discount store – but will last a lot longer and make you much happier.
