I have been an editor at Who What Wear for seven years now and have learned a ton during my time here. While there are many seasoned tricks I now have up my sleeve due to my experience thus far, there is one skill I am particularly proud of, and that is knowing what pieces to buy for a lasting and relevant wardrobe.
Call the aforementioned category basics if you must, but if the past couple of years have taught me anything, it's that basics aren't boring, they are a way of life. They are the lifeblood of a sturdy wardrobe, and below, I have selected 10 relevant yet timeless pieces I know you'll never regret buying. Featuring black ankle boots, perfect carryalls, and even some party-ready pieces, a wardrobe filed with any of the below is a good one; trust me.
A tube top is great worn alone with a sleek maxi skirt or layered underneath a heavy jacket.
You can never have too many thin turtlenecks.
Yes, these are only $50.
Lady jackets are having a major comeback, and this one is super chic.
Trust me; investing in a designer cardholder is always worth it.
Is this not the perfect fit?
Leather skirts will always feel relevant in my book, and this one looks insanely expensive.
As someone who personally owns this bag, I can assure you you'll get so many compliments on it.
You can't go wrong with a classic slingback.
Satin outerwear is about to be a major trend next year.
I hate dark denim and even I love these.
This is just the right amount of oversized.
Editors can't stop talking about these Agolde recycled leather pants.
Chic house slippers are always a good idea.
Textured tops like this always make just the right amount of a statement.
I pretty much consider feathers a basic by now and I think you should too.
No one would ever guess this is only $80.
Vote "yes" on LBDs.
Last but not least, please treat yourself to a luxe robe this holiday season. You deserve it.
