Wardrobe Staples and The Classics: Leopard and Stripes

Forever 21 coat (similar) and top (similar), J Brand jeans and Zara shoes (similar)

I recently just bought this black based stripe top (because you can never have enough stripe tops) so when I was going to wear it for the first time it was a no brainer for me that I needed to pair it with my leopard print coat. The reason being that even though they are both prints, don't be frighten, they are almost like basics. Stripes and Leopard print are timeless, classic staple pieces to any wardrobe. Which got me thinking about what are my essential pieces and staples in my wardrobe and this is what I came up with.

1. The basic tee. You can never go wrong with a basic tee or tank, get them in white, black, grey and you are set and if you find a style and fit you really like, get it in multiple colours because like I said its a basic top and you know it will get a lot of use.

2. The skinny jean. Again, it is one of the easiest things to wear and looks great with anything or for any occasion. It is an essential in any wardrobe no more what your style is.

3. The stripe top. French chic at its finest. I have 5 different style's and I only want more.

4. Sneakers. I can not live without my sneakers, which as I talked about in this post, I need more. Comfort and perfect for that laid back modern chic look that everyone loves. It is a need in my wardrobe.

5. The everyday bag. As women we tend to carry way to much with us so it is important to have a bag that fits all our needs (and random stuff) with us wherever we go. Not to big, not to small, not to flashy, just a simple medium sized bag.

6. A basic coat or jacket. Whatever that perfect coat is to you, whether it be a trench coat, car coat, leather jacket, you must have at least one great one that you can wear everyday, preferably in a solid basic colour.

There are obviously more pieces that we can't live without like the low heeled boots, boyfriend jeans, heels, leopard print etc. But as for my wardrobe and what I know I wear the most (like everyday) these are definitely my essentials. I can't have enough of them and that is why I am always in search of great basics. Not going to spend to much money on trends or flashy one season pieces because I want pieces that are going to last me a very long time.

I hope you liked this post and my list here and that if you are needing some wardrobe inspiration, that this helps.
