Classic Wardrobe Essentials: 5 Timeless Pieces You Need

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a wardrobe filled with chic, classic pieces that never go out of style. Trends come and go, but the staples? They’re forever. Whether you’re strolling through the streets of Paris, or grabbing a cappuccino on New York’s Upper East Side, or simply curating an effortlessly polished look, these five timeless pieces are non-negotiable. Keep reading for 5 of my classic wardrobe essentials.

1. The White Button-Down Shirt

There’s a reason why the white button-down shirt is a staple in every “it” girl’s closet (since what feels like the dawn of time). Crisp, clean, and endlessly versatile, it can be tucked into high-waisted denim for a casual-chic vibe, layered under a blazer for a power moment, or even worn oversized as a beach cover-up. Bonus points if it’s slightly oversized for that relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic. If you’re searching for the ultimate wardrobe essentials, this is a must-have.

2. The Beige Trench Coat

If you want to channel your inner Audrey Hepburn or Jackie Kennedy, a beige trench coat is a must. This effortlessly sophisticated piece works year-round and elevates even the most basic outfits. Throw it over a simple tee and jeans for a refined touch or drape it over your shoulders for an elegant, European-inspired look. Feeling extra mysterious? Throw on a silk scarf.

3. The Blue and White Striped Sweater

Is there anything more effortlessly chic than a blue and white striped sweater? The ultimate nod to French-girl style, this piece is perfect for layering over your shoulders on a breezy day or pairing with white linen pants for a nautical-inspired look. Whether you’re brunching on the Mediterranean or embracing coastal grandmother vibes, this sweater is a no-brainer.

4. The White Linen Pants

Nothing says laid-back luxury quite like a pair of white linen pants. Breezy, lightweight, and incredibly chic, they scream summer sophistication. Style them with a tank and sandals for a beachside look, or elevate them with a blazer and loafers for something a little more polished. Plus, they’re an instant go-to for those dreamy Italian summer getaways. P.S. don’t think they’re just for summer – you can re-style these with different pieces for each season.

5. The Blue Blazer

The blue blazer is the epitome of timeless tailoring. Whether structured and fitted or relaxed and oversized, it has the power to transform any outfit. Wear it with denim and a tee for a casual yet refined feel, or go full boss mode with tailored trousers. It’s the ultimate layering piece that transitions seamlessly from day to night, season to season. I’ve recently been super obsessed with the oversized double-breasted blazer style!
