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

Photo:
@sylviemus_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

@anoukyveAh, ballet flats—my trusty companions. The shoe style is a forever classic and can easily be incorporated into just about any outfit.
These black ballet flats have been a popular go-to for many seasons now.
The slight scrunch in this neutral pair gives it a fresh feel.
2. Black Dress

@abimarvelI 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.
Satin black dresses are great for more elevated events.
A strapless black dress with a flared skirt is the epitome of chic.
This black cable-knit sweaterdress is a great pick for fall and winter looks.
I can see this easy black dress being an everyday favorite.
3. Black Leather Pants

6. Crew-Neck Sweater
