His & Her's Classic Closet + This Season's Updates

Each season as fashion and trends change we can all feel tempted to completely revamp our closets with what is currently available and in style, but because fashion and trends repeat themselves in three to four year cycles I find it more useful to always have certain wardrobe and closet pieces handy and then fill in with just a few of the top trends. A few should be all that is needed because if you're smart and listening, you'll know that the baby doll dress or tye-dye shirt will eventually make a comeback, and so you will save it. In this post it is my intention to demonstrate what I think some of the most important closet staples are and then what it means to fill in your closet with seasonal trends. For the most part the men and women classic boxes mirror one another in that everyone needs a white crisp shirt, a classic cardigan that can be dressed up or down as well as a blazer that can also be paired with dressier or casual pieces. In the men's box I have a black suit as a must-have because it is. While it does not have to be the suit in the box, since it is my intention to show you what you need and not what brand to buy, men, you need at least one quality suit. In the women's classic box I added a pencil skirt instead of a LBD because a pencil skirt can be dressed up or down as well. Notice how some of the pieces in each group can be paired together. for example you can take an item such as the blue Dsquared2 jeans in the men's classic box and pair them with the Paul Smith Fair Isle sweater and Moncler ski jacket in the update box. The same for some of the items in the women's boxes. BTW don't forget about choosing a classic cologne or parfum for yourself that makes you feel and smell good when wearing it, smelling good is just as important as looking good.
