I have written countless articles on how to build your wardrobe. The key is to have select pieces that can be used in many different ways. What this will do for you is twofold. First, it will give you versitility in your closet. The second is the most important. You will save money.
Now I am not saying this is the case with all brands but the example I am going to set forth today will show how plus size fashion which is expected to top $120 billion in sales this year has plenty of options available.
A bracelet sleeve jacket or cardigan can be worn year round whether at the office or a night out on the town. Normally this piece is worn casually but can be switched out for something more dressy for after 5 activities.
Capri pants whether denim or other materials should be a staple in your closet. This piece can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
A nice short sleeved sweater with the right accessories is essential to from late Summer to Spring especially if you are like many who work in an office that the temperature is on meat locker.
With the hundreds of brands of modern straight leg jeans on the market you really can’t go wrong the problem is simply making a choice.
You should have as many ribbed tanktops as possible in your wardrobe. This piece should be thought of in the same light as your foundation garments. White, Black, and whatever your favorite colors are should be where you start.
The 10 items, which include many pieces that are on sale come to $611.87 making your daily cost per wear $1.67.
A nice denim skirt should also be a cornerstone piece in your wardrobe. Getting a pencil and an ankle length will give you even more outfit combinations.
Owning a denim jacket is another piece that you can get as many colors and styles as you want and each will add to the depth of your wardrobe. FYI: Avoid cheap denim jackets that will not hold up in the wash.
The jersey dress is another piece that will allow you many different looks. Be it v-neck, maxi, wrap, or any other style you can’t go wrong with the jersey dress.
A sleek modern straight leg pant can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the shoes and accessories you pair with them.
A long sleeve v neck tee is the final piece to round out your wardrobe. Go crazy with the color as well as the style and your closet will explode with possibilities.
If you have not already noticed with these 10 pieces, versatility is the key. The math on these 10 items works out to 22 outfit combinations and as you saw earlier your cost per wear is pretty low for just 10 pieces. If you add different styles based on these core items your cost per wear may rise a bit but you will have dozens of outfit combinations without having a closet full of clothes you don’t wear.
Bonus Tip: Maximize the look of your wardrobe by changing up your shoe and accessories so even if you are on a budget and in actuallity don’t have lots of clothes it will not look that way because of how you change things up.
Bonus Bonus Tip: Pay a bit more so that the items will last at least three seasons.
Absolutely love this post! I really try to buy items that are versatile AND I already have the other pieces on hand to make the outfit!
Great pieces for any wardrobe!
