One Top That Helps You Create More Outfits
Having plenty of clothes doesn’t always mean having plenty of outfits.
You may have pants, skirts, or shorts you like, but struggle to find tops that go with them. Or you may have pieces that work in one familiar outfit, but you’re not sure how else to wear them.
This is where having the right wardrobe essentials can make a difference.
The most useful pieces in your wardrobe aren’t necessarily the ones that stand out the most. They’re often the pieces that work with several things you already own and give you more ways to put those clothes into outfits.
A denim or chambray button-up shirt is a perfect example.
Why a Denim or Chambray Shirt Is a Wardrobe Essential
Think about some of the bottoms in your closet that you may not wear as often as you’d like.
Maybe it’s a pair of white jeans you only wear with one or two tops. A printed skirt you love but never know what to pair with. A pair of trousers that always ends up with the same blouse. Or shorts that you struggle to make feel like a complete outfit.
A denim or chambray shirt can work across many of them.
Because denim acts almost like a neutral, it can be paired with different colors, prints, fabrics and styles. You can wear the shirt tucked in, untucked, loosely tucked, sleeves rolled or open over another top.
It’s also an easy way to make your wardrobe feel more current. A relaxed denim or chambray button-up can update the look of pieces you’ve owned for years, giving familiar pants, skirts or shorts a fresher feel without changing the entire outfit.
One shirt can suddenly give several pieces in your closet another way to be worn.
4 Denim Shirt Outfit Ideas Using Clothes You May Already Own
The value of this shirt becomes much clearer when you see what it can do across your wardrobe.
These aren’t six outfits that require six new purchases. They’re six examples of how one useful top can help you create different outfits around clothes already sitting in your closet.
The Right Wardrobe Basics Give You More Outfit Options
Wardrobe basics are more than a list of pieces you’re supposed to own. What makes them valuable is how much they can do with the clothes you already own.
A denim or chambray shirt is one example. Instead of working with only one pair of pants or being limited to one type of outfit, it can give you another option for the white jeans you struggle to style, the skirt you rarely wear, the trousers you always pair with the same top, or the shorts that need something different.
That’s what you want from the essentials in your wardrobe: pieces that create more ways to wear what you already have.
Build More Outfits With the Clothes You Already Have
The denim or chambray button-up is just one of the wardrobe essentials included in theClassic Wardrobe Basics eBook.
The eBook shows you the clothes, shoes, and accessories that make the rest of your wardrobe easier to wear, along with more than 200 outfit ideas showing different ways these pieces can work.
If you have plenty of clothes but still find yourself wearing the same outfits, struggling to pair certain pieces, or shopping because you think you need something else to make an outfit work, the answer may not be more clothes.
You may be missing some of the pieces that help the clothes you already own work together.
