1. Elevated Basics
“Don’t overlook basics. These are things that will become staples in your closet. At first glance, they may seem ‘boring,’ but ultimately, you’ll turn to these items time and again when building looks throughout the year. These staples include blazers, tees, and jeans. A gap I often find in my customers’ closets is ribbed shirts (tanks or long-sleeves). These basics are everyday heroes, as they are great for layering, add texture, and have a lengthening effect.” — Handley

“This third piece can be styled year-round and is an effortless way to level up your look. Currently, we are seeing it worn in place of a tank or a shirt. They come in a variety of styles, giving you the chance to play with proportions. A fitted vest looks phenomenal with a wide-leg pleated trouser. If you want a more relaxed silhouette, pair it with straight-leg denim and a ballet flat for the office and beyond.” — Handley
