Building
your
wardrobe

Basics
are the foundation.

Before we dive into what exactly should live in your wardrobe, let’s talk about the base, because even the boldest statement piece falls flat without the right support system underneath. This chapter isn’t about listing a white tee and calling it a day. That simply wouldn’t be enough especially if your style is layered, expressive, or doesn’t fit neatly into a Pinterest-perfect aesthetic.

a point of view

Even the most simple piece should still say something. A white tee isn’t “the answer” just because it’s white and plain. It has to carry energy. Maybe it’s the cut, the way it hangs, the neckline, the sleeve length — but it can’t just be basic-basic. Your basics should still feel like you. Let the fabric be simple,
but make the silhouette or detail feel modern and intentional.

Texture is underrated. It adds character without doing the most. That’s why a satin skirt or a knit ribbed tank top ends up being a heavy rotation — it makes everything else in your outfit more alive. Texture isn’t just for fun; it’s very smart. It balances bold and minimal, soft and sharp. It gives personality to your basics, even when you’re not trying. So yeah — basics matter. But not just any basics. The right ones. The ones that feel like you and show up for you on the days when you don’t feel like doing too much.

How to recognize timeless pieces

When shopping for timeless pieces, focus on the design, quality, fit, and functionality. Here’s what to look for:

Neutral Colours:
‍Timeless pieces often come in calm colours like black, white, beige, navy, and grey. These shades are easy to mix and match and tend to be less likely to go out of style.

Quality Materials:
‍Look for high-quality fabrics like wool, cotton, linen, cashmere, and silk. These materials last longer, feel luxurious, and hold their shape well. Timeless pieces are often an investment, it might be pricy, but high-quality pieces are more durable and look even better with age.

Simple, Classic Cuts:
For example think of straight-leg jeans/trousers, tailored blazers and A-line dresses. Classic cuts are flattering on most body types and can be worn for different occasions, from work to casual outings and will never be out of style.
