Looking for an all new wardrobe? START WITH THE BASICS! All you need to start your brand new wardrobe is a couple fashion pieces, equipt to be the foundation of every outfit. Basics are timeless pieces that will never go out of style. They are also the building blocks of every well put together outfit and can be paired with almost everything else in your closet. These pieces are what you should spend the most money on. I justify the investment with the amount of variety and durability they each give me.

There are two key aspects to knowing what to start out with.

Neutrals. I’m talking blacks, whites, greys, khakis and all their variations.
Tailored or well fitted. Meaning... flattering, things that are made to hit you at the right places, are tailored to be fitted where your body naturally curves and lays to enhance your shape.

So where do you start? Use this checklist as a guide for a strong wardrobe foundation.

White T-Shirt-

I bet most of you already own a white t-shirt because they're too versatile to not have. Dress them up or dress them down, they always seem to fit perfectly with the rest of the outfit. That being said, t-shirts aren't the most expensive so I really recommend buying different colors (once again sticking to neutrals.) Black, grey, navy, olive... you get the idea. And also, when looking, think about the most flattering neckline i.e. scoop neck, v-neck, high neck, etc.
