Classic Wardrobe Musts that Never Go Out of Style

How To Build a Classic Wardrobe that Never Goes Out of Style.

To build a wardrobe that lasts for years and years, you need to choose timeless clothes with an extra touch of style. Buying trendy pieces is always good and so tempting, but for our wardrobe to be truly versatile, we need various basic garments to make infinite combinations between them. Building our capsule wardrobe provides us with a double benefit: the first is that it will not take us long to choose our looks in the morning because most of the clothes will match each other; and second, we will get rid of the dreaded feeling that we have nothing to wear when we look in our closet.

To ensure that our clothes are wardrobe staples, we have to take several things into account:

• Define a color palette for your wardrobe. It doesn’t have to be neutral colors, but rather go for the tones with which you feel most comfortable. Make sure these match each other and are complementary colors. This way, it will be much easier for you to build your looks.
• Go for clothes with classic cuts, the kind that are worn year after year, and that you know will not go out of style.
• If you want to follow the seasonal trends, try to do it in small details. This way we can reuse it without it seeming out of style.
• To always make sure you look your best, it is essential that the clothes chosen are the most flattering for our body type.
