“For every minute spent organising, an hour is earned.” Perhaps our closets are the best illustration of this sentiment, while we dig through our piles in order to put our outfits together for the weekend nights. The opposite then must be true, a streamlined closet filled with wardrobe essentials saves precious time. With a wardrobe that includes essentials that can be put together in different days, you can save time, declutter and even step into minimal living. Investing in such foundation pieces also enables you to style the saved-for-later pieces piled at the back of your closet.
At any moment in time, what’s in fashion speaks to the ongoing and increasing social trends. The pandemic for example, has changed daily life in a multitude of ways, from social distancing to pledging to stay home, but this new way of life has transformed how we’re interacting with our closets too. In today’s time the fashion-forward world has been largely replaced by basic clothing and wardrobe essentials that put utility and comfort above all. As we refocus on our wardrobes to meet the current times, basic pieces that both maximise comfort and keep our looks fresh and presentable for the day, reign supreme.
Gone are the maximalist high fashion looks and fast-fashion impulse purchases of the past year. Instead, we’re seeing the return of the 90’s inspired minimalism better suited to a year that will undoubtedly bring more surprises, and it’s never too late to start preparing. Pared-back but never boring, we’ve gathered the versatile, seasonless wardrobe essentials styled by our favourite celebrities to get you inspired for your next purchase.
