Essential Closet Staples for Your Wardrobe

Let's talk closet staples! While I love experimenting with trends that come and go from season to season, my closet staples are the pieces of my wardrobe that are the true building blocks for the perfect outfit. The best part? Just because it's a staple, doesn't mean it has to break the bank. Today I'm rounding up my complete guide of closet staples for every girl's wardrobe.

Closet Staples

Beige Boyfriend Blazer / Ivory Ruched Blazer / White Tee / Medium Wash Denim / Black Leather Jacket / Chestnut Suede Jacket /
Adidas Running Sneakers / Converse Platform Sneakers / Nike Air Force 1's / Beige Trench Coat / Gold Chunky Hoops / Layering Necklace / Beige Strappy Sandal (LTD1335 for 20% off) / Denim Jacket / White Ankle Denim / Black Belted Dress Pants /
Beige Belted Dress Pants / Black Pumps / Belt Bag / Lace Bralettes / Black Oval Sunglasses / Brown Bar Frame Sunglasses / Chiffon Blouse

Blazers - Gone are the days of the stuffy, uber-professional looking blazers! Outside of a job interview or a big meeting, they're just not needed. I always keep my eye on a more unstructured fit that I can dress up for work or dress down with a pair of jeans on the weekend.

White Tee - The softer the better. I prefer a crew-neck because it's a cut that will never go out of style. If you prefer a V-neck style, this one is a great option.

Denim - I could go on for days about jeans [See: The Best Jeans for Spring 2020] but if I had to narrow it down to two pairs that are reasonably priced and will take you from Spring into Summer, it's these Levi's & these white ankle jeans! Both pairs run TTS.

Jackets - Cropped motos are a staple that can be dressed up or down. All time favorite brand when it comes to moto jackets is BLANK NYC - reasonable price point for a great quality. A trench coat is another option that can be a great workwear staple this time of year. And don't forget a classic denim jacket for more casual days.

Shoes - Coming from the girl whose shoes have taken over all closet space, you really only need a few key pairs. A white sneaker (this can be a running shoe, a platform sneaker (sporty but cute when dressing down a midi skirt or dress), or an overall everyday pair; a sandal (I love the strappy trend because it can be dressed up for work or down with denim shorts); and a classic pump (Nine West's Astoria Block Heel is my all-time favorite heel with a 10/10 on the comfort scale).

Accessories - Always think simple and understated when it comes to staple accessories. These $14 chunky hoops are a great everyday pair and don't weigh your ears down; my all-time favorite layering necklace works beautifully on its own or layered with another piece; designated this ridiculously convenient $25 belt bag a staple because it's all I've been wearing every day; my Amazon sunglasses finds are great dupes for Ray Bans!

Dress Pants - Even if you're not in a corporate job, it's still important to have a great pair of dress pants in your closet. Have been loving belted styles this season especially.

Bralettes - These $20 lace underwire braltettes are great for layering with a sheer top. If you're looking for maximum comfort, I recommend this style by Spanx.

Chiffon Blouse - Works with dress pants and works with denim...you can't go wrong! I love my neutrals and find most of my favorite blouses at MANGO.

Hi friends! It’s been a little quiet around here Hi friends! It’s been a little quiet around here lately 🤫 Here’s what I’ve been up to...  🙅🏼‍♀️ Setting boundaries between real life & social media (more time spent in the moment)  ⏰ Early to bed, early to rise (and limited phone time when I wake up & before bed)  👟 AM workouts so there are no excuses after a long day  🥒 Lots of meal prep, organization, planning & time spent cooking with Joe  👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 More quality time, date nights, and no-phone boundaries  ⚖️ A little more even keel work-life balance  I’ve been doing a lot of re-evaluating on the space I want to create for us here on my page. Tuning out the noise over the past few weeks has helped me tremendously to realign my priorities & I’m really looking forward to seeing how they play out over the next few months together. Thanks for always riding it out with me!! 😌 Xo, D 💗 • http://liketk.it/3bNGx @liketoknow.it #liketkit
#ad Growing up near the water and being steps away #ad Growing up near the water and being steps away from the beach was such a special part of my childhood. There was always an emphasis on things like keeping our beaches clean, preservation and conservation; things which I still find so much importance in and plan to teach my kids one day.  This year I’ve been so proud to partner with @waterlesshaircare, a brand founded alongside the 2018 Day Zero water crisis in South Africa. With an inherent need for conservation, Waterl<ss’ products enable a greater stretch between wash days, allowing women, with different hair types, to still look and feel their best without a single drop of water.  Want to do your part? Head over to @waterlesshaircare as they celebrate World Water Day to learn how we can all be more water-conscious and other ways you can help support water insecurity for communities based in the U.S 🌎💧 #GoWaterless #WaterlessHaircare #WaterlessFam

Coffee or tea? Leave a ☕ or 🫖 below! I try Coffee or tea? Leave a ☕  or 🫖  below! I try to stick to no caffeine in the AM which has become routine, but the one downside is feeling a little extra tired some days 😴  #TulaPartner  I use @Tula's Rose Glow + Get It under eyes and on high cheekbones for a little pick me up. Instantly hydrates, cools and brightens which gives me that "I'm feeling awake even though I'm really not" kinda look 🤪 . We need that every so often, right?!  You can use code DANIELLEGERVINO for 15% off Tula sitewide! We love a skincare brand that's clean, cruelty-free & celebrates imperfections 👏🏻 #embraceyourskin
Quiet beach nights > any other nights 🌊 Crazy t Quiet beach nights > any other nights 🌊 Crazy that we just passed the one year mark that everything got turned upside down. I remember driving down to the beach with Joe just to sit in the car and get out of the house last March. We’ve still got a ways to go, but nights like this remind me how much has changed in a year 🤯 Thankful that much brighter (longer AND warmer 🌞) days are just around the corner 🙌🏼 @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/3asx2
