Mix and Match Wardrobe Essentials
We all have those moments when we stare helplessly into our closets and think, “I have nothing to wear.” Recycling the same outfits week to week can be frustrating, but constantly spending money on new clothes can get downright pricey. By investing in a few essential mix and match pieces, you can build a wardrobe that offers constant variety.
Start With a Base Color and Build Out
The majority of your wardrobe should be made up of one solid color. Black or white tend to be best, but gray or navy can also build a solid foundation. The rest of your wardrobe can be colors or prints and will be built around this base.
So let’s consider the essentials. While dresses are great, (and let’s face it, we all need at least one little black dress), you will need to focus the majority of your wardrobe on separates if you are looking to create a wardrobe that allows you mix and match. One particularly timeless and versatile wardrobe essential is a classic fitted trench coat. A properly fitted trench coat is chic and flattering, and it looks great thrown over pants, skirts and even jeans.
Similarly, you will need a shorter jacket or blazer with a great feminine shape to accentuate your figure. The cinched waist of a woman’s blazer gives you curves in all the right places. Jackets and vests are perfect for the ultimate professional look when paired with trousers or a skirt, and a casual yet sophisticated look when worn over jeans.
Great Jeans For Casual Day
Every woman needs a fabulous pair of jeans that can be dressed up or down. Look for a pair that flatters your frame. When in doubt, choose a pair of dark wash jeans with a boot cut. Boot cut jeans work well for women of all sizes and shapes.
While jeans are incredibly versatile and can be dressed up or down, they are not always appropriate for all settings and occasions, and your workplace may not allow jeans, even on casual Fridays. A pair of fitted trousers in black (or your chosen base color) can be even more versatile than jeans and are a must have for every wardrobe.
Round Out and Spice Up
Round out your mix and match wardrobe with a classic white shirt. White shirts are available in a variety of styles and cuts, and they look great on everybody.
Spice up your look with a variety of scarves, jewelry and accessories as you continue to build your wardrobe with other mix and match pieces so you truly never have to wear the exact same thing twice.
