Putting Some Bank in Basic Clothing

To create a great wardrobe you always want to build from the ground up. You need basic clothing that can grow with you and become the foundation of any eclectic accessories and shoes you want to create your look around. We’re laying out the reasons to why you should begin with basic clothing.

Here are the 10 reasons why investing in basic clothing is totally worth it.

  1. The more high-quality the item, the longer it will last—stock up on clothing made out of durable materials like cotton, wool or silk that’ll become long-wear pieces in your closet.
  2. Splurging on certain items like pants or suits pays off in the long run. You’ll be paying for something that not only will feel right, but look as if it was made for you, too.
  3. Purchasing one piece of basic clothing can allow you to style it with a multitude of other clothes. Layer a basic collared shirt underneath a crew neck sweater for a cozy look or tuck it into a pleated skirt for a work-appropriate style.
  4. By buying basics you’ll have just what you need—no more rummaging through wonky prints or oddly shaped skirts.
  5. With less clutter in your clothing drawer, you’ll be able to make room for more accessories. Pair your basic clothing, like long cardigans and T-shirts, with braided belts, sunglasses or leather backpacks.
  6. Saying you have nothing to wear will become a total issue of the past.
  7. Putting together outfits will become a breeze. White T-shirt? Check. Skinny black jeans? Check. Throw on a lightweight jacket and ankle boots and you’ll have the perfect outfit for brunch with your friends.
  8. Switch from a day outfit to an evening one in no time. Wearing a striped shirt, wide-legged pants and flats? Trade in the flats for a pair of wedges and add a statement necklace for an evening out.
  9. Don’t fret when the weather begins to change—you’ll have something for every cloudy, sunny or rainy day.
  10. Your bank account will look mighty fine with less shopping trips in your future — basic clothing gives you all you need and more without having to rush off to the mall for a new outfit.

Don’t break the bank with frequent shopping trips—start at the beginning with basic clothing for a perfectly curated closet.
