Simple Staples
“Pieces in your closet that you can throw on with anything and your outfit will look great.”
Staples can be anything you truly want that can make any outfit come together. Generally, staples are those pieces in your closet that you can throw on with literally anything and your outfit will look great. Most people consider staples to be a simple, solid article of clothing that can be paired with absolutely anything. Others may think of it as those major pieces that make every outfit stand out. In my opinion, I believe it's both. I have basic and statement staples in my closet that I think can be paired with almost everything that I own. Staples can include clothing and shoes.
In this outfit, my staples are literally my entire outfit. I love to layer, so this longline, white button down shirt is my all-time favorite white shirt. You can't see the sleeves but it has a bell sleeve at the wrists with a tie detail to keep them tight. It has slits on the sides up to my hip to allow movement. Next, I have my favorite light-washed skinny ankle jeans. These are a staple because they are basic jeans but they have a frayed end detail at the bottom of the jeans just to give a little extra style to them. Next, is my black leather jacket. I can wear this jacket with absolutely anything in my closet. It is a moto-jacket with the belt lining the hem of the jacket. It has a removable fur collar that gives me the option to add a little warmth around my neck for the cooler days or take it off for a clean and simple leather jacket. Lastly, I have these snake skin booties. These are actually a very recent addition to my closet! These are a statement staple due to the print , but I can wear them with any basic outfit just to add a little pop. Animal print is becoming the new neutral.
I believe every one should develop a line of at least 5 staple pieces. This will allow you to easily make outfits every single day. If you can't figure out what to wear throw on one or two of your staple pieces and go from there. It becomes pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
