We’ve all had days when we are running behind schedule. Whether a morning got away from us, we overslept, or the world conspired against us. We are running around the house, trying desperately to get ready and grab all that we need. And then it happens. We reach our wardrobe, and the stress level reaches its peak. What to wear? At times like this, I grab my staple pieces and run.

What Are Wardrobe Staples?

Wardrobe staples or go-to pieces are lifesavers. The idea is not a ploy or an advertising gimmick trying to trick you into buying more clothes. It is quite the opposite. To have wardrobe staples means to have essential clothing items that easily mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe while creating a simple yet stylish look every time.

Wardrobe staples are not dull, and they are timeless and forever elegant. Must-have items show that their owner is smart, rational, inventive, and in touch with reality. Pulling together a white tee, relaxed jeans, heels, and a blazer — a simple but beautiful work of art.

Essential items in one’s wardrobe are critical for pulling together stylish looks at a minute’s notice. Going back to my example of running late, with wardrobe staples, you can be ready in five minutes.
