My mom taught me that when it comes to building a wardrobe, always invest in the classics. Rather than spending too much money on trendy things, she focused on items that she knew she'd wear for years to come. Her closet is filled with timeless coats, blazers, sweaters, and more that I still borrow decades after she bought them.
I've taken her advice and have really focused on investing in pieces that I know will continue to stay in style. Veronica Beard's latest collection of cult classics is perfect for finding those pieces. It's filled with high-quality, chic staples that will have you looking good and feeling even better. Of course, I want everything, but I've rounded up a few of my ultimate favorite pieces below. Want some new pieces for your next big meeting or first day back at the office? Or just want to elevate your day-to-day style? Then keep scrolling. No matter what you've got on your plate, these Veronica Beard classics will give you the confidence to make it happen.
A white button-down will never—I repeat, never—go out of style. I personally love to tuck mine into a pair of straight-leg jeans, but you can wear it with trousers, a midi skirt, or whatever suits you. Layer a sweater vest over it for a cool, on-trend option.
I mean, the product name says it all. This is a classic. Any fashion person will tell you a well-tailored blazer is a must in your closet.
This is one of those dresses that can easily transition from the office to after-work drinks.
High-quality denim should never be passed up.
I've fully embraced clogs, and I can't get over this particular pair.
Switch it up with a little skinny flare.
Wearing sneakers is one of my favorite ways to tone down a 'fit that may feel a little dressier. But don't get it twisted—adding the right pair will still elevate your outfit.
I love the look of a hoodie under a blazer, but sometimes trying to fit it underneath can be a struggle. This dickey zips into your blazer to create the effect of a perfectly layered look.
I used to be solely a jeans girl, but recently, I'm all about trousers. And these do not disappoint.
Don't get me started on my love for puff sleeves.
I never used to spend a lot of money on white tees, but now I'll never go back. I like to invest in a few high-quality options so I don't have to continuously replace them.
I'm always here for chocolate-brown leather.
