Whether you're for resolutions or not, there's no denying that the New Year brings in quite a bit of overthinking in all departments of life. But since this is a fashion site, let's focus on the woe we can help you with—your wardrobe. As editors, we collectively start the year by taking a deeper look at our closets. Do I have enough basics? How have I been approaching style? Have my past purchases been worth it? These are just some thoughts that buzz through our heads when figuring out our sartorial goals for the year.
To combat these thoughts, we put together the ultimate list of foundational items that can help to kick-start 2023 dressing. Some items are ones we can rely on no matter the season, and some are trend-forward pieces we predict will have staying power. Despite these pieces being more simplistic in design, nothing about them is boring. While our main goal of the year is to make fashion feel fun again, there's no doing that without ensuring you have the staples to build the outfit upon. After all, what's a statement top without a pair of sleek denim? Or a bejeweled clutch without a classic LBD?
Ahead, find the WWW-approved edit of wardrobe must-haves to invest in for the year ahead. Whether you're in the mood to save or splurge, we've sourced a piece at every price. Keep scrolling to shop the selection and get ahead.
