Building a smart wardrobe is not about quantity, but about quality. Instead of filling your closet with trendy items that will disappear next season, a minimalist wardrobe focuses on quality, timeless basics that can be easily combined with each other. At LODISON, we believe that you can create dozens of amazing looks from a limited collection, and all you need to do is choose the right ones.
Here are 5 must-have items that will help you build a wardrobe that simply works:
1. A quality T-shirt in a neutral color
The ultimate basic item. A white, black or gray T-shirt, made of a quality fabric (like Egyptian cotton), can serve as the basis for any look. Combine it with jeans, tailored pants or a skirt, and it will always look great.
2. Classic tailored pants
Tailored pants have long been not just for the office. Choose a pair in a straight or wide fit, in black, gray or navy. They will upgrade any look and work great with both a simple T-shirt and a tailored blazer.
3. Little Black Dress (LBD)
No wardrobe is complete without the little black dress. It is the perfect item for events, dates or even a night out with friends. Choose a dress with a clean and timeless cut that will flatter your body and you can match a variety of styles with different shoes and accessories.
4. Modern-cut blazer
A blazer is an item that instantly adds an elegant touch to any look. It works great over a T-shirt, dress or even a thin knit. Invest in a quality blazer in a neutral color and it will serve you faithfully in every season.
5. Quality denim jacket
For a casual, chic and comfortable look, a denim jacket is a must-have item. It blends perfectly with dresses, pants or shirts and gives a light but meticulous look. Remember, the quality of the fabric determines its comfort of wear and durability over the years.
