Any sale is an opportunity to add high quality pieces to your wardrobe. That can be the piece you’ve eying for a while, but it can also open up the opportunity to add some solid basics and wardrobe essentials to your collection. A high quality basic will take you from season to season and from trend to trend and make styling easy.
Everyone needs a selection of good basics in their wardrobes. It might feel obvious but sometimes shopping can get overwhelming and makes us forget what we actually wear – and therefore need – every day. And basic doesn’t need to mean boring. It’s much more a piece that gives the rest of the outfit the chance to really shine. It should be a trusty piece you grab for when you feel like you’re out of options or ideas on what to wear that day.
Sometimes we think basics don’t go with a trend, but they are adjusted over time. The fit might change for example. Just think about a black pump. It can hardly get more wardrobe staple than this. But over time the pump has developed its shape. We moved away from round toe and can also go with a lower heel by now. And since June is the season of Sales, this is just the right opportunity to look into what we can switch out or renew of the basics, the wardrobe essentials.
Classic basics: White T-shirt or white button down
A white T-shirt or a white button down can make or break an outfits – and just as much our comfort level. When white is see-through unintentionally, a shirt too boxy or too snatched, it’s time for an update. For a classic summery fit, style them with a pair of Khakis from Ba&Sh, loafer-style slippers from Tod’s, and hoops from Monica Vinader.

Elegant basics: blazer
Long gone are the days of blazers just being office wear. They’ve become the all season jacket for any occasion. For an elegant outfit style them metallic pants from Jacquemus, a simple top from Frame, and high heels from Gucci. Pair the look with golden jewelry to soften the silver of the pants.

Casual basics: jeans
There is never not a time for denim. And we’re in the fashion period where any style is possible with jeans. For a casual look pair the jeans with a Tôteme top, Isabel Marant slippers, and a Rabanne raffia bucket. To accessorize, add your favorite jewelry.

Playful basics: sandals
A comfy pair of sandals can be a real benefit to your summer. And if you go for a heel, a real companion for nights out. Pair them with an Oscar de la Renta jumpsuit for a fun and girly summer outfit. Add a Copernicus heart tote, and Annie Bing sunglasses.

Weekly inspiration
Vogue world has been introduced some time ago. And it’s been developing beautifully. It combines fashion, entertainment, and pop culture by having fashion shows with equal focuses on fashion and on the ‘show’. You can spot plenty of celebrity cameos, an integration of music, and smaller acting parts that really highlight the soul of the fashion pieces. One of my favorite parts was Serena Williams for Off-White.
