Following on from my previous post about finding your personal style, I have put together a simple 16 piece starter wardrobe selection for those wanting to go back to basics. I know there is a lack of colour, but I think the best three colours to start with are black, white and grey because they go with everything. (With one blue item thrown in because it’s a classic)
Floral Printed Jacket
Miss Selfridge – £49
Floral Print Shorts
Miss Selfridge – £35
This is a nice bit of colour in the wardrobe and means you can wear the jack with the shorts or a different skirt, trousers etc and can be dressed up or down.
Tweedy Cardigan
Topshop – £42
Single-Breasted Jacket
H&M – £24.99
Biker Jacket
Topshop – £48
Western Denim Jacket
Topshop – £65
those lounge around days or for running errands. It is a great staple to just throw over anything.
everyone should own one of these because it’s such a simple thing and can add edge to an outfit or make it look more formal
This will always be an investment piece and is something that looks great with some jeans, a flannel and some converses
the classic denim blue is a must in the wardrobe. Don’t be put off by the fact that it is blue because it goes with a lot more than you think. But of course opt for black etc if that is what you feel most comfortable in
Sports Mini Dress
Topshop – £24
Bodycon Tube Skirt
Topshop – £20
everyone and I mean everyone should had a little black dress that flatters their figure and fits them to a T. Can be dressed up with heels and a clutch or dressed down with a jumper over the top and some converses.
this is a very flattering style of skirt on nearly all body types and again can be dressed up with a blazer and heels or dressed down with converses and a graphic t shirt
Oversized Check Shirt
Topshop – £30
Washed Tee
Topshop – £12
Slogan T-Shirt
H&M – £7.99
an oversized check shirt is great no matter what season. Tie around the waist for an effortless chilled outlook or wear unbuttoned with some jeans and ankle boots for a day out with friends
everyone should have this in a variety of colours but most importantly black, white and grey. You could also invest in strap tops of the same colour
you can’t really go wrong with a simple graphic/slogan tee. Great for a day out or paring with jeans, trainers and an oversized cardigan or check shirt
Satin Trousers
Topshop – £45
Skinny Jeans
Topshop – £40
For those formal occasions when you just want to play it simple. Some sleek black trousers will be flattering on any body shape.
simple, low rise, perfect. Great for all occasions and of a good quality
Suedette Heels
New Look – £19.99
Sneakers
H&M – £12.99
Shoulder Bag
H&M – £12
a pair of black heels is what every girl should have. Simple and sleek.
Good for everyday use and big enough to carry A5 documents and practical for travelling.
You can’t really go wrong with some comfy sneakers/converses and definitely worth the money for those more casual and on the go days.
I hope you found this useful. See you next month with another post! Bye for now
