Finding your personal style: Staple pieces that transition from day to night, season after season
Key pieces to help you build a timeless more curated wardrobe
Trends come and go and then return 😂, so keeping up with them may not be a good idea, especially when trying to find your style. I recommend starting with staple pieces that transition from day to night, season after season, for your basics. These items will be essential in helping you build a timeless, more curated wardrobe; you can throw a bit of hotness in there now and again💃🏽.
I've been reading about and watching what's trending, and it seems going into spring, the theme is a balance of somewhat understated, interesting, and classic pieces, so let's dive into how I think that looks.
1. The oversized blazer
Let's start with the oversized blazer: timeless and transitional for sure. An oversized blazer can be worn as a dress, over a long dress, with jeans and a shirt; its effortless styling options are limitless. Note: you may have to shop the mens section 😉
2. The classic trench coat
A classic trench coat will take you from summer to fall effortlessly, and its neutral tone pairs with almost anything.

3. Tailored suits
Tailored suits are classic and chic. Wear them in any season in suitable fabrics for instant elevation. Remember that some fabrics don't transition, for example, linen. A linen suit will not work in winter. The composition of the material won't keep you warm, rendering it seasonal only.

4. The cargo pants
The cargo pants, who would have thought? Yes, cargo pants are making a comeback. I'm not sure they ever went out of style, but they are cute, chic, and easily styled with anything.
