In Fashion Marketing by Melanie Shaw

Women’s fashion is constantly changing, but there are certain clothing pieces that never go out of style. Knowing what to look for can be challenging, especially as trends and fashions go in and out. Thankfully, we’ve compiled a list of seven must-have items that every woman should own, no matter the trends and changing fads. 

1. Black Cotton Leggings

Black cotton leggings are a wardrobe must-have and one of the clothing items worth spending more on. Leggings are not only super comfortable, but they are incredibly versatile. 

Whether you need to put a look together for work or want to lounge around at home, black cotton leggings are the way to go. Cotton is a breathable material, making them perfect for working out and stretching. You can even wear them under your puff sleeve dresses for extra comfort.

2. An Oversized Sweater

Oversized sweaters are go-to items for anything from casual workwear to weekend adventures with friends. Oversized sweaters can be cozy companions or slightly formal blouses. You can make these sweaters pair with anything in your wardrobe for the occasion you’re dressing up for. Just be sure to pair it correctly with dark denim jeans if you’re going somewhere a little fancy!

3. High-Quality Denim Jeans

Jeans are a classic wardrobe staple. Make sure you have an abundance of jeans in your closet in different styles and shades so that you can create an epic outfit every time. Flair jeans, as well as slightly distressed, are in style, as are the classic midrise jeans. Take your pick and create looks you’ll love this year. 

4. Bohemian, Open-toed Sandals

Bohemian, open-toed sandals are a must-have for every woman’s wardrobe. As a casual slip-on, you can wear these to the grocery store or for beach getaways. These shoes have the durability and potential to help you dress functional yet cutely in any outfit you put together. Ensure you purchase cork cleaning spray to ensure the inside of these shoes stays clean.

5. A Denim Jacket

Denim Jackets are having a moment, and they’re not just limited to certain seasons. As your everyday jacket, check out the cropped version of denim jackets and have fun completing looks with these authentic denim accessories. Whether you’re off to the farmer’s market or picking up the kids from school, you’ll look dressed to impress in a cool denim jacket. 

6. A Leather Belt

Make sure you own a high-quality leather belt you love so you can get the most use out of it. For those pants that don’t quite fit right or the need to look extra spiffy, make sure you own a leather belt that you can wear as your go-to for any outfit. Leather belts go with jeans, as a waist accessory to a mid rise skirt, and to keep your low-rise capris in place. 

7. Tee shirts And Tank Tops

Your wardrobe should consist of tee shirts and tank tops in solid colors that you can choose from to complete your outfits. Choose neutral colors so that they go with any outfit you’re putting together. Wearing undershirts in neutral shades makes it possible to put even the most elaborate outfits together (think blazers and cardigans). Look for options in high-quality fabrics like cotton or linen so that your undershirts hold up over time. 

Set Yourself Up For Fashion Success 

Set yourself up for fashion success by incorporating the above must-have fashion items in your closet. Your mix of classic go-to colors will help you establish balance in your outfits as you add fashionable items like leather jackets and high-waisted belts. You’ll be ready with these classic, must-have items no matter what fashion changes occur.
