Back To Basics: The Wardrobe Basics You Need To Start The Year

Top - Missguided (similar here) / Shorts - Zara (similar linked below)

 I was debating what to write about this week and for the life of me, I couldn't come up with something until I was browsing online on Zara & H&M making orders for myself. We're in the middle of the first month of the year and it's definitely a good time to set the tone for your wardrobe. I always love to start with basics and I know I've spoken about this topic before, but you can never go wrong. You simply can never have enough. With the world still uncertain and the prospect of working from home still very much expected, basics are a good way to make yourself put together yet comfortable at home. I'm not saying ditch the sweats yet, but for those days you feel you need to up your productivity levels, putting on a comfy pair of jeans and a tee will definitely put your body and mind in the right frame. I've decided to steer you to some of the picks in my baskets right now that are versatile and classic. 

Tees - My Tip: Size up on tees for more comfort and ease of style. 

   

Knits - You can never have too many knits, go for the classics or go for the extraordinary. Whatever you do, have a collection of them especially in the winter months. 

   

Denim - I'm in a tropical climate (that's having it's cold days though...) so I am still wearing my staple denim shorts but having a pair of classic skinnies, regular or cropped, is the perfect staple to renew in your wardrobe. Go for the signature blue. 

   

What would you consider your basics or essentials in your wardrobe? What's the one thing you find yourself constantly going back to or in need of! Let me know in the comments below. And let me know what you'd like to see next on the blog. I've also got YouTube videos coming up too, including the first vlog of the year next Wednesday! So stay tuned over on my Instagram for the latest updates. 

Hope you're all staying safe and well! Sending you lots of love,

The Best Essential Basics For Your Wardrobe



Outfit: Tee - Primark (a men's one) / Jeans - Levi's / Slides - Aldo / Earrings - H&M / Sunglasses - Bulgari

Happy August everyone! I hope you've all been having a wonderful summer, which has gone way too quickly for my liking. Actually, this year as a whole has just flown by and it's scary. So I'm trying to get my act together with this blog and find my groove more. If I have to start somewhere it has to be with this - the basics. 

There are two staples that are essential to a wardrobe because they are so basic yet versatile. It's a crime to not have them. A plain tee and a staple pair of  jeans. Doesn't matter about what kind of fit, it's all dependent on the person. But for sure you have these things. And it's always a good idea to update them or just have an abundance of them. So for this very short and random post, I give you all the best basics for your wardrobe from the high street. 

Take these basics and make them what you want. Add statement jewellery, a statement bag, chuck a blazer on top, some cute shoes and you have yourself a look. It's that simple. I love to turn to these basics when I don't know what to wear or I don't feel my best. It's just so easy, you don't even need to think about it. It's the perfect off-duty style that can be jazzed up in anyway you like. 

When I buy my basics, I usually go to ASOS for my t-shirts because honestly the ASOS DESIGN label is perfect for that; the quality is amazing, you can get multipacks and they are cheap, worth every penny. When it comes to jeans I'll go to Levi's, Topshop & ASOS as my staples. Good jeans are always going to be a little bit more pricey, so make sure that you invest rather than buying a £20 pair. The ones with better quality have a bigger price tag and will last you much longer.
