10 Closet Essentials For Killer Wardrobe

There’s nothing worse than waking up to get ready for work, only to stare at your wardrobe full of clothing and somehow feel like you have literally nothing to wear.

Most of us wear less than half of what fills our closet, so clear the clutter and give your old jeans some Marie Kondo style before you toss them in the donation bin.

Instead of buying fad items, fill your closet with versatile staples that you’ll get use out of.

1. Men’s inspired shirt
A neutral toned button down, like white, grey, or black is every celebrity stylist’s favorite item. Throw in a French tuck and pair with skinny jeans and heeled sandals for an automatic supermodel off duty work. Button closure allows for great day to night transitions as well.

2. A leather jacket
An edgy piece of transition outerwear is essential to looking sharp but not owning a bunch of useless jackets. That’s why a motorcycle style leather one is that most valuable outerwear piece to own. It can be colorful, oversized, or more fitted – whatever screams “you.”

3. A solid colored long sleeve shirt
Black and white staples are great, but a colored statement top adds an air of mystery. This is proof that colors can be integrated in an everyday way – your whole outfit doesn’t have to be funeral colored!

4. Printed Midi Skirt
There’s a time for pants and a time for maxi dresses – but what about when you’re in that frustrating in-between mood? A midi skirt is the ultimate compromise that falls around the calf and pairs well with tights or boots.
