I'm an Anti-Trend Person—These Are My Current Wardrobe Staples

While I love to keep my finger on the pulse of the latest fashion trends, it's rare that I indulge. Instead, I like to focus on building a wardrobe that I can rely on for many years to come. With that comes a keen interest in key staples that I know I will wear over and over again in everyday outfits and for formal occasions. In essence, the pieces are all classic, comfortable, and relatively simple, and they pack an understated yet cool punch.

One thing I appreciate most about building this type of collection is that the pieces come together to create a capsule wardrobe of sorts, where each item can easily be mixed and matched. Think basic white T-shirts in a variety of styles, polished camel coats, great black dresses, and more. Keep scrolling to check out my breakdown of six stylish staples that I swear by throughout the year.

1. Ballet Flats

Ah, ballet flats—my trusty companions. The shoe style is a forever classic and can easily be incorporated into just about any outfit.

2. Black Dress

I know it's cliché, but I firmly stand behind the idea that there is nothing like a simple black dress. The one-and-done piece will always come in handy for a variety of occasions.

3. Black Leather Pants

A great pair of black leather pants adds an instant cool factor to any outfit. You can wear the style with everything from a basic tee to a crisp button-down.

4. Basic White T-Shirt

Whether crew-neck, cropped, scoop-neck, or whisper thin, there is no denying that a basic white T-shirt will always be in style.

5. Camel Coat

Camel coats are a stylish way to elevate any look. Plus, for whatever reason, I can personally attest to the fact that they lead to endless compliments on your outfit.

6. Crew-Neck Sweater

Crew-neck sweaters have been a staple for ages. The knits come in a variety of colors and can be worn alone or layered over tees and button-downs.
