You can’t have a quality wardrobe without a solid base of foundational pieces. For some, the only staple they can pin-point is their favorite white t-shirt. Others might have a running list of basic pieces they can’t live without. No matter what your collection of basics looks like, it’s universally true that a girl’s staple pieces need a little upgrade every now and then. I’ve listed my top, trend-friendly, staples in my personal wardrobe and how I elevate them. Want me to help you fine tune your basics collection? Click here to apply to be styled.

Everyone should own a blazer. They’re not just for the working professional. A blazer is one of my favorite pieces, ever. A quality blazer is definitely a staple and a major 2021 trend. One way to elevate your blazer is to buy it as a set, pair with a classic shoe and accessorize with your favorite jewelry pieces. A blazer set not only allows you to play with a fresh, monochromatic look, but automatically pulls together your outfit. There is something so clean about a matching blazer set. Don’t know what to wear underneath? Keep it simple with a white tee or a crop-top.

Ah, a good pair of denim is one of the greatest foundational wardrobe pieces. My current favorites are a high rise, pinch waist straight by AGOLDE. Reach for a high-waist slouchy straight fit. This trend will stick around through 2021. Don’t forget to switch out your denim every now and then, especially with ever-changing denim trends. In 2021, keep your eye out for an elevated denim trend; the black slack. My favorite is the stitch seam legging by Vince. They feel like a buttery soft legging but have the elevated look and texture of a polished slack.

Speaking of leggings, it’s easy to pair a legging with its predictable partner; a workout top or a sports bra. In order to elevate this look, try layering pieces like an oversized denim jacket, a branded sweatshirt or an oversized button down. My favorite oversized button downs lately are from Good American.

Onto the most prized possession in my closet, the white tee. A white tee shirt is often only thought of as being paired with a pair of shorts, jeans, maybe even a skirt. However, try layering it underneath a dress or your favorite jumpsuit. This gives both pieces a whole new look. It’s like you bought a whole new outfit. Don’t have a classic white tee that you love?

Take your basic sneaker and elevate them by opting for a pair from Golden Goose, the most versatile shoe option in the game. Golden Goose sneakers can be worn with just about anything. That’s proven, not just by the way I paired them with a floral maxi dress in the photo here, but I often pair them with jean shorts or my favorite leggings, just check the images in this blog! Clearly it’s my go-to shoe when I’m torn on what shoe to wear. Oh, and they are so comfy.
