When it comes to fashion, it should be buyer beware. Trends and a “what’s next” mentality often rule the magazines and style shows’ content, pressing the fashion loving to stay trendy, buy something new and turn a nose up at last season’s “in.” Trends may keep the wheels of the fashion industry moving, but at the helm of every wardrobe should be a set of core basics that are easily interchangeable and can complement the current trend.
For women I suggest a core wardrobe of basics to include:
• A crisp, white button-down blouse
• Black pants
• Khakis
• Dark jeans
• A fitted blazer
• White and black camisoles or tank tops.
• A favorite dress
For men I suggest:
• Dark jeans
• A button-down shirt
• Black pants
• Khakis
• A fitted jacket
• A neutral suit
