Basics for Your Wardrobe
The basics of wardrobe are those multipurpose clothes that are always there in our wardrobe. Black formal pants if you are working, denims for outings, basic black tee and so on. Although they look boring but they are very versatile and essential.
* All Season: No matter what season it is, these clothes are always in season
* Flexible: They can change your whole look by adding few accessories.
* Style Saving: If red hot pants are in season, then tone them down by a basic black tee.
* Trend Proof: They are basics; you can never go wrong with that. For example, in an interview you can never go wrong if you are wearing a white shirt and formal pant.
* Outfit Multipliers: It is said that 12 basic garments can create up to 80 outfits. So just think about it. Even if you have 50% of your wardrobe as basic wardrobe, than how many looks you can create.
* Wardrobe Foundation: They are definitely wardrobe foundation. If you are on a low budget and trying to just get started than these basics are of great help.
Guidelines to Buy Wardrobe Basics:
* Check your wardrobe. Before going on a shopping spree, it is wise to check the wardrobe and review the contents.
* I always insist on this point to all my clients, that every single garment that you purchase should suit your lifestyle.
* Get at least two of each, so if white shirt is your basic get two white shirts in different pattern or fabric.
* Get each essential in neutral color, so if you want to buy a formal pant, buy black first than move on to beige or green.
* Avoid fancy detailing in the basics.
* Same applies to accessories, bags and shoes. Always have basics like black and tan in your wardrobe, these colors go with most of the formal wear and have gold.
