A wardrobe full of staple pieces is vital for creating outfits you love and want to wear again. For me, finding pieces that I constantly want to reach for is a must to create multiple outfits I feel good in. Finding those items can be difficult as there are so many options and styles, so if you struggle with this, this is the post for you.
In this post, I’ll be sharing all the items I love and wear all the time. These pieces are a mix of wardrobe staples and trendy pieces that are not only super easy and comfortable to wear but also versatile enough to be dressed casually and dressed up.

Nike Sportswear Essential Tracksuit
Tracksuits are perfect for casual days, whether you’re spending it at home or out and about, and a black tracksuit is such a simple classic to have. I really like the Nike tracksuit as i think the fit is really nice, it’s oversized but not too much that it drowns you. It’s a comfortable, breathable material that you can wear all day; and it’s a buildable outfit so you can wear it pretty much throughout the year.

H&M Oversized Denim Jacket
A denim jacket is a good classic to have in your wardrobe, not only is is a versatile piece, it can be worn throughout the year. My favourite time to wear it is during the autumn months as it’s a great jacket to keep you warm for the chilling evenings but not too hot during the day. The H&M denim jacket is that nice oversized fit that is suitable for both tall and petite girls. They also have them in various colours which is a good variety.

PrettyLittleThing Structured Contour Ribbed Leggings
Leggings are a necessity in every wardrobe, they’re a good casual piece that you can wearing casually and dress up for smart casual looks too. The Prettylittlething seamless contour leggings are a staple for me, I have them in multiple colours and wear them all the time. Typically I’d pair them with an oversized hoodie, ankle socks and chunky trainers or a cropped vest top and a checked shirt.

ASOS Canvas Tote Bag
Tote bags are super popular at the moment, but not only that they are a very practical bag to own. Personally I think a tote is a wardrobe essential, you’re always going to need a bag of a good size that you can use in day to day life. This tote bag is the bag I reach for the most as it’s a great bag to hold everything I need whilst still looking stylish.

PrettyLittleThing Acid blue Wash Mom Jeans
Mom jeans are a wardrobe staple, apart from them being a super versatile piece, they’re a comfortable and flattering style of jean. For me the Prettylittlething mom jeans are an absolute favourite. I like that there are multiple different colours and washes as it means there’s a style to suit everyone as they’re a good length on me which, for a someone who’s petite, is a struggle when it comes to jeans.

H&M Cropped Top
These tops are good basics to have in your wardrobe, they’re the tops I reach for the most. They’re super comfortable, they sit at a nice length not too cropped and not too long and they’re so simple to style. My go to outfit with these are either a pair of mom jeans and my Nike Jordan’s or a pair of joggers and my converse high tops.

Nike White Dunk Lows
An all white pair of trainers is always a good option to have as they are an easy shoe to style and they can be worn in so many occasions. For me the Nike Dunks are a good option, they’re a comfortable shoe so are great for long days; and they look really stylish. I also like that they look slightly different to Nike Air Force 1s, but still are easy to wear just like Air Force 1s are.
