Sunglasses
The first item that every girl needs in their closet is a good pair of sunglasses and these can be in black or brown. There are so many affordable brands that have really amazing sunglasses that will go with any outfit. It’s so important to have a classic and good pair that is not too trendy, but can go with multiple different outfits for different occasions.
Investing in a good pair of sunglasses can definitely cost a pretty penny so if you want to start off with a more affordable pair from Amazon, that is definitely the best way to go. Why is having a good pair of sunglasses so important? The reason why is because accessorizing can truly take an outfit to the next level and when you have a good pair of sunglasses, it can make your outfit look 10 times more chic.
Sunglasses are also something that everybody should have in their closet or even in their car when they’re driving and it is an essential for any outfit that you are wearing whether you are going on a walk and running some errands or you just want to elevate your look.
Below are some good sunglasses that we think are perfect for investing in as well as some more affordable options that you can definitely take a look at:
White Sneakers
The second item that every girl should have in their closet is a good pair of sneakers that are universal and can go with any outfit. As we just mentioned, a good pair of sunglasses is a great way to start, but having a universal pair of sneakers that are a classic white color can go a long way.
There’s some girls that prefer to wear boots while others prefer to wear sneakers but sneakers are always going to make an outfit a little bit less casual and that’s not a bad thing. Veja and Adidas are two really great brands that sell affordable shoes.
Whether you are wearing some trousers or you have a classic pair of blue jeans when you throw on some white sneakers, it can really make a look a little bit more casual and it goes with almost everything in your closet.
Jeans
Next is a good pair of jeans and these can either be a straight leg pair or one with a few rips in it. The best part about jeans is that there’s so many options and different stores sell a variety of different styles and different washes.
It’s really important to have a few different options in your closet for the winter and summer. In the summer, it’s best that you wear more light wash colors and in the winter you can definitely go for some darker wash. Abercrombie is a great store that sells affordable jeans for a fraction of the price of some other retail brands out there such as AGOLDE.
Investing in jeans is also something that should be considered after you have finally figured out what your favorite style, color and wash is. Everybody has different preferences when it comes to jeans so it’s best that you go in person and try them on before ordering online and then you never end up returning them because you don’t have time. Trust me we’ve all been there.
Having a good pair of jeans is also essential because you never know when you want to dress a little bit more down and throw it out with a pair of sneakers or if you want to dress it up a little bit more with a sweater and some heels. Jeans are just like sneakers where you need a good universal pair that can go with almost anything and can be your go to when you have no idea what to wear.
Purses
Having an everyday person or a tote bag is another essential in your closet that can definitely dress up an outfit and give you girl energy. There are so many brands and styles out there where you can truly find what fits you best and you can do this by going in person or browsing online.
Whether you like to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars into a purse or like something more affordable and that is under $300 that you totally should make this the year where you do that.
It’s also just as important to have a bag that is universal for day and night. Having a basic black leather bag is great because you can dress it up for dinner or a date or you can wear it more casually during the day with a pair of jeans and some sneakers.
Having a tote bag is great because you can fit a lot of larger essentials that you may need for every day or if you are a commuter. Having a smaller bag such as a shoulder bag or a crossbody purse is also great because as mentioned before this can be used for day and night and you can have essentials such as your wallet, and some lipgloss or your phone.
Jewelry
Lastly, the perfect accessory for your closet is a staple piece of jewelry, whether it is gold or silver. Not everyone can afford a great pair of gold earrings, but Amazon and other retailers have very affordable jewelry for a fraction of the price that you normally would get at a jeweler.
Having classy and timeless jewelry is great because it can really elevate an outfit and accessorizing is probably one of the most important parts of it. You can have all the money in the world and buy the most expensive outfit but if you don’t accessorize it properly, then it may not look as good.
Have you ever noticed when you’re wearing an outfit and then you forget to put on earrings or some rings and a necklace? I’ve noticed and trust me it is a huge difference in how I feel and how I look. When you add on a simple gold pair of hoops, earrings, or some basic gold rings, it truly can make your outfit look a lot better!
