It can be a lot of fun to constantly play around with the way you style your outfits. After all, it’s something that you have complete creative freedom over, and you get to express yourself pretty much however you want (within reason of course,) flicking from style to style as you see fit.
That being said, it can still be nice to have some solid items in your closet that you can come back to when you need them. From plain t-shirts to a good coat, these are some timeless fashion staples that you need to have in your wardrobe at all times.
Plain t-shirts
Plain t-shirts are a classic styling option that can be great for pretty much everyone, in a wide range of different social situations. Whether you want to pair it with some shorts to go to the beach, or with some chinos for a smart casual look, it’s a strong option that you can often turn to.
Once you’ve found an option that you like, it’s worth ordering them in bulk from a supplier like Screen Textiles. Plain t-shirts – especially white ones – have been in style for decades now, and we don’t see that changing any time soon.
Some high-quality jeans
Some good jeans are also a wardrobe must for pretty much everyone. Like a plain white tee, good jeans can be styled to fit a wide range of situations, and it’s worth having a few pairs so that you have an option for a range of different styles.
Jeans can be great for doing slightly more abrasive DIY tasks such as garden or car maintenance, providing a tough barrier to protect your legs. Likewise, combined with some nice shoes and a shirt, they can be a great way to tie together a slightly smarter outfit.
Some good shoes
The saying that you can judge a person by their shoes may sound a little simple and reductive, but it does hold a surprising amount of truth in it. Regardless of what other clothes you’re wearing, a lot of people will make important assumptions about you based on the footwear you choose.
While you don’t need to worry about this every day in most cases, if you’re trying to make a good impression, it’s worth having some good shoes on hand that reflect that image for when you need them. Whether for a job interview or to meet your partner’s parents, you never know when they might come in handy.
A good coat
Lastly, it’s important to have a good coat on hand for when you need it. Especially in a climate like England’s, you’ll often need a relatively smart outer layer to keep you warm, whether at an outdoor wedding or a birthday at your local pub.
You’ll likely find that your fashion staples accumulate in your wardrobe over the years almost by chance. You’ll notice that there are some items that you come back to year after year – make this process of accumulation intentional, by focusing your attention on the items listed above.
