Dressing well every day can be a struggle. Whether you’re dressing for work or school, finding an outfit every day can start to become a stressful task that you start to dread. In addition to this, the added pressures from social media and the endless promotion of new clothing items on Instagram and TikTok, claiming to be the next best thing, can leave you stressed and confused about which direction to go with your wardrobe. Do you create a capsule wardrobe, as Instagram says, or do you create a massive wardrobe of every single kind of item, such as women’s tracksuits, like your favourite influencer? This can be tiring and take a toll, making you feel not good enough.
This is where this blog comes in, to clear the air when it comes to what you should have in your wardrobe, to make getting dressed every day easier, and give you endless options when it comes to dressing each morning, as well as some tips to keep your style looking fresh.
So without further ado, here are 3 essentials that everyone should have in their wardrobe.
Semi-smart shoes
Yes, trainers are great, but for everyday wear, they can leave your outfits looking flat and bring down the level of your outfit. This is where semi-start shoes come in, as they not only are versatile, but help to elevate a look, as shoes are very often the defining factor of an outfit. Even if an outfit may look great from the knees up, a pair of worn-down trainers can instantly ruin a look. An example of a pair of semi-smart shoes can be a pair of battle flats, a pair of knee-length boots, or some edgy loafers. All of the shoes can help to elevate a look, even if you are just wearing a men’s tracksuit or a simple pair of jeans and a white top, to make it look like you’ve put a lot of effort into your outfit. In addition, it means you always have a pair of smart shoes for more formal events, such as a work event, so you do not have to rush around the day before to find a smart enough pair of shoes for the occasion.
A good pair of jeans
These days, many prioritise quantity over quality, however a well-fitting pair of jeans should be at the top of everyone’s priority list in their wardrobe. Instead of mindlessly buying whatever jeans are on trend or are the least expensive, its imprint to ensure that your jeans are, one, good quality and will last for years to come. Two, well-fitting, this means trying on many different styles and sizes to try and find the perfect pair of jeans that suits you, your personal style and your body shape. Three, that they are timeless, so that your jeans never go out of style, and they can be worn for the next 10 years at least. Jeans shoes are seen as an investment rather than a replaceable clothing piece, meaning that you must ensure that you care for them, including hand washing them and hand drying them.
