Invest in the Best
While we love the latest seasonal collections and the newest hip trends, there is nothing better than a classic staple that will never fail or disappoint. These pieces are the ones we can justify splurging on, knowing that they will last a lifetime and will be worn time and time again. Let's take a look at just a few essentials to include in your capsule wardrobe.
The Trusted Jacket
If we know one thing for sure, it’s that leather will never not be in — and that is precisely why a quality leather jacket is worth the investment. When looking at leather jackets, we recommend sizing up since you'll want room to maneuver and layer under it. This one from Maje gives the perfect amount of edge and comfort, which you can shop here.
Blazers
Whether you’re entering the corporate world or simply looking to sophisticate your style, having a good blazer is imperative. J.Crew has a plethora of styles and colors to choose from, including this ivory Devon Blazer which is perfect for every season.
Bags
Whether it’s a cross body or a clutch, every woman needs a good bag by her side. When thinking about purchasing a designer bag, keep in mind these two things: practicality and versatility. If you’re going to be spending thousands of dollars on a purse, make sure you will be putting her to good use. This swoon-worthy shoulder bag from YSL can be worn with virtually any ensemble and will always withstand the test of time.
Life can be hectic, and we never know what will be thrown our way — which is why us women are always prepared. From lipgloss to the good old lint brush, we need a bag that can hold it all, which is why we praise this tote from Tory Burch. With an interior pocket and zip closure, the Ever Ready Zip Tote can be the home for all of your essentials, and it is a much more affordable alternative to the Goyard Saint Louis tote that we all know and love.
Shoes
From date night to a night out on the town, we love a good excuse to pull out our favorite pair of heels. A neutral shoe is always a must, especially when it comes to a quality pair of heels that you can rewear with a wide array of outfits. When it comes to a heel, you don’t always have to compromise between height and comfort — just make sure they have some sort of padding in the insoles to prevent any aches or pains. This pair by Alexandre Birman is the perfect option for anyone looking for an elevated take on a plain nude heel.
For our final pick, we have the perfect option for all day wear and elegance — a loafer. For the girls who want a quality pair of loafers but want something a little more unique than the Gucci horsebit, the Tod’s Kate loafer is another beautiful choice. This style comes in another six variations of leather. Shop this timeless shoe here.
