10 Items You Need To Curate An Elegant... But Realistic Wardrobe
There's more to what we wear than we think. A lot of what we wear says a lot about who we are and how people think of us.
Dressing elegantly can be hard. Many women want to have a beautiful, classic, and versatile wardrobe. When there is a new trend in shoes, bags, or clothes, they rush to the stores to spend a lot of money.
Most of the time, they end up with a whole wardrobe that isn't just short-term and fashionable for two seasons at most, but also has a lot of different pieces that are hard to mix together.
You open a closet full of clothes and say, "I have nothing to wear!" It's painfully familiar.
The answer is surprising simple. All you need are a few reliable and timeless key pieces that can be mixed and matched to make a wide range of timeless looks.
After I learned how to dress well, I changed my wardrobe by adding a set of classic pieces that are both cohesive and long-lasting; those pieces are the foundation of a resourceful wardrobe and reflect the simple and sophisticated aesthetic that any elegant woman should have. I changed my wardrobe after I learned how to dress well.
There are a few things that make a wardrobe look good. I'll show you in this post what they are. Because high-quality clothes are always in style and can last for years, you shouldn't be afraid to buy them!
“Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody’s buying far too many clothes.”
THE TRENCH COAT:
First, some history. The Trench Coat was made by Thomas Burberry for the British army officers who fought in the trenches during World War I, and he made it. Thus, the name: Trench Coat.
It took a while for the Trench Coat to make its way into the smart wardrobes of fashionable women.
Whether you wear it buttoned and tied or loose and open, a classic Trench Coat in a neutral colour will look good on everyone. You can wear the coat buttoned and tied or leave it loose and open.
The Trench Coat has a simple and refined shape that is both functional and beautiful. This makes it a must-have for every woman.
As a good thing, the trenches are long gone, but the Trench Coat is here to stay!
THE "LITTLE BLACK DRESS"
Introduced by Coco Chanel and Jean Patou in the 20th century, the little black dress, or LBD as some people call it, is a symbol of a woman's elegance. Some people call it the "little black dress."
If you're looking for a simple piece of clothing that can be worn for any occasion, the little black dress is what you need. It can be dressed up or down to fit any situation.
There are a lot of ways to wear the LBD. It can be sexy and seductive, conservative, or smart and sophisticated. Black is the only colour that is as good as any other.
There is a price to pay for a perfect dress, but the LBD is too important to be sold only for a lot of money.
Even if you don't have a lot of money, you can look for a midi-length dress that has a classic silhouette and is made of high-quality material. This will show off your style and show off your body shape.
WHITE DRESS SHIRT
First, the white shirt was in the spotlight of women's fashion in the 1800s, when Marie Antoinette wore a ruffled cotton dress in a portrait. The whole thing was a big deal at the time.
The white dress shirt has been a part of men's wardrobes for a long time, and it has always been a sign of social class and wealth because of how clean it has to be.
During the 20th century, a lot of fashion designers, like Coco Chanel, broke down gender barriers and showed us how to wear women's clothes in a more relaxed way.
To thank Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn (who was married to Katherine Hepburn), Grace Kelly, and other movie stars, the white dress shirt has become a symbol of simple femininity.
It doesn't matter how you style and accessorise your white shirt, it will always make you look classy.
I don't think this is a thing that you want to cut corners on at all!
When you wash your white dress shirt, you want it to stay in shape for a long time. Do not waste your time and money on cheap fabrics. They are not worth your time or money.
It's worth it to save up and buy a good quality dress shirt made of natural fabric. When you want to look feminine and relaxed, silk is the best choice. Cotton, on the other hand, will give you a more structured look and feel.
CASHMERE JUMPERS
The cashmere jumpers I wear when the weather gets cold are my favourite way to stay warm and look good.
It doesn't matter if you buy a classic round-neck, a V-neck, a looser, more casual cut, or one that is shorter and tighter. I can bet that you'll wear it a lot.
High-quality cashmere isn't just the best yarn for making clothes that are soft and warm; it's also very durable and can last for a long time if it's looked after properly.
This yarn is made from fibres found in the undercoat of goats that make cashmere and pashmina. Most of these goats live in northern China and Mongolia.
It takes a single goat 2.5 to 4 years to make enough cashmere to make one average-sized jumper. In contrast, a single sheep can produce enough fibre to make 4 wool jumpers in a single year, which is a lot of wool.
Because cashmere is so rare, it has been linked to royalty and glamour for a long time. But now, it's more accessible than ever to everyone, not just the rich and famous.
Cashmere is worth all the praise and admiration that people have been giving it for centuries. The cashmere jumper, in particular, is a piece that you can always count on to be there when you need it.
BLACK TROUSERS
At first, trousers were only worn by men. The first time women could wear pants every day was in the middle of the 20th century.
The good news is that women haven't looked back since they added pants to their wardrobe. Putting on some great pants shows that you're in charge, and that you're in charge.
In either case, a pair of black trousers is an important part of any business outfit.
Just keep in mind that trousers come in a lot of different shapes. Make sure you get a cut that looks good on you.
DENIM JEANS
Jeans were made by Jacob W. Davis and Levi Strauss in the late 1800s. They have become a common clothing item all over the world, and they are often worn as an off-duty uniform.
The way I see it, jeans aren't going to go out of style any time soon. However, I think that there are ways to ensure you are looking elegant, always, when in denim. I try to opt for lighter washes, I ensure that there is no rips, and when wearing denim I try to opt for a mono chromatic look.
MIDI SKIRTS
A well-fitting mid-length skirt can be an important piece in your wardrobe, whether you like the feminine and gentle touch or the business and sophisticated look. In some cases, it can even be worn casually.
When it comes to mid-length skirts, what really matters is what you like. There are a lot of different styles, like pencil skirts, slip skirts, and A-line skirts. An elegant outfit can have different lengths of the skirt. The skirt can reach just above or below the knee.
A silky and flowing fabric, or one that's more rigid, can be the right choice for you.
A CLASSIC PUMP
Because the heel was originally made for men, shoes with high heels have become a big part of women's wardrobes.
Heels have come a long way over the years.
They made the arch longer and slimmer. They also added different colours and shapes. The pump has stayed the same, but now it comes in a wide range of styles and colours.
A neutral colour pump goes with almost any outfit and can be worn with almost anything. You can dress it down with a white shirt and jeans, or dress it up with an LBD for a more formal event.
Whether you choose black or nude, your shoes will make you look more feminine, sexy, and sophisticated, making you feel like the woman you are inside.
KNEE / MIDI BLACK BOOTS
The black midi boot is one of my favourite pairs of shoes.
Stylish people often don't give ankle boots the credit they deserve because they're so simple. This simplicity is what makes these boots my favourite thing to wear all year long, even in the beginning of spring.
A basic pair of black knee high boots can be worn with everything from midi dresses to jeans and trousers. They are an investment piece, and if you find the right pair, they'll last you for years to come.
A simple and clean look is best, with a flat sole or low heel that will be easy to wear for a long time.
STRUCTURED BAG
High-quality leather bags are important for every woman.
If you want to buy a good bag, you don't have to spend a lot of money on a high-end designer bag. There are a lot of high-quality bags that are made of beautiful leather and sold for a reasonable price.
A "plain" bag is one that doesn't have a lot of big logos, patterns, or embellishments.
When you choose a bag, make sure it's the right size, can be used every day, and comes in a colour that goes with your favourite shoes.
