Wardrobe Staples Every Woman Should Own

March 20, 2023 By sara-elizabeth Leave a Comment

“What are the wardrobe staples I should own?”…  This is a question we get asked often.  And while the pieces in one’s closet can vary greatly depending on lifestyle, career, and style preferences…  There are indeed certain wardrobe staples that every woman should own.  Let’s take a look at them, shall we?

 

Wardrobe Staples Every Woman Should Own: Leather Jacket

First up….  the leather jacket.  Every lady should own a leather jacket of some kind!  And it can of course be faux leather.  In fact, one of our most favorite jackets year over year in this category IS faux leather.  Here are three leather jackets you can’t go wrong with.  PSA – this is a great time of year to purchase a leather jacket, because many of them are currently on sale!

The denim jacket is one of the most versatile jackets you can own.  It can be worn year round for countless occasions.

Neutral Blazer

We recommend that our clients always have a neutral blazer in their closet.  And this goes whether they work in an office…  Or not!  You will be so surprised how often you will reach for a classic, neutral blazer for lunch out, meetings, appointments, etc.  Pair with jeans and sneakers or mules, pants, or even your cutoff shorts!  It’s also a great piece to pair with some jeans and sexy heels for a night out!

More Wardrobe Staples: White Button-Up Shirt

It goes without saying that every closet should have a favorite white button-up shirt in it.  No need to say anything else on the matter!

Slip Dress

We get more questions about this particular item than any other wardrobe essential.  A slip dress is a fabulous piece to have for a fun night out.  Pair it with strappy sandals, heels, or booties.  You can of course layer a jacket or blazer over it…  Or don’t!  A slip dress can also be worn casually with a sweater, cardigan, or button-up shirt over it – essentially doubling as a skirt.  So many are hesitant to add this one to their wardrobe, but once they do, they are always happy they did!

Neutral Shoe

A neutral shoe makes getting dressed for any occasion SO easy.  It goes with any color palette!  Pick a fairly classic style of shoe on this one…  A shoe you can have for years to come.  And that means investing in this one is acceptable too!

Happy Monday gang! It’s been a Personal Shopping few weeks over here at ES, so we thought we’d share a little #behindthescenes of a recent Personal Shopping appointment that Katie R had with one of our guy clients!
.
Clients hire us for personal shopping for various reasons. Some just want a seasonal upgrade of a few new pieces. Some need looks for an upcoming business event or trip. Some need a complete overhaul of their wardrobe, and some needs looks for a planned vacation. Whatever the needs of our clients, a personal shopping appointment works a little like this….
.
1) We chat with our client to learn more about their needs and have them fill out an ES client form that gives us even more info.
.
2) We then schedule a date to get together for some shopping.
.
3) On the day of our personal shopping appointment, we arrive a little early to go ahead and pull pieces and looks for our client, so that when they arrive, they will have a dressing room ready for them to start trying on clothes.
.
4) During the personal shopping appointment, we help our clients determine what works and what doesn’t work. What fit works good for their body and what pieces will be good additions to their wardrobe. 
.
Reach out today if our stylists’ can help you with some personal shopping as we transition into a new season and clients are heading on business trips, preparing for summer vacations, etc!
