Smart Shoppers Always Invest In Wardrobe Staples—I Suggest Starting With These
Sponsor Content Created With NET-A-PORTER
I won't pretend to be a finance expert, but I can offer my two cents on investment-worthy fashion pieces for 2023. Maybe it's a lack of closet space, or maybe it's the general desire to build more eco-conscious shopping habits, but it's clear that, this year, consumers are interested in building a strong collection of wardrobe staples—and I'm here to help. (Thank-you cards are welcome.)
The first retailer I always recommend is Net-a-Porter for its curation of on-trend yet timeless luxury pieces. Currently, the site is featuring cashmere tops, wide-leg pants, stylish shoes, and must-have shoulder bags from favorite designers like Loewe and Bottega Veneta. All the pieces below can be mixed and matched and dressed up or down, inspiring endless outfit formulas. The cost-per-wear of these pieces alone proves their worth, so keep scrolling to shop 16 staples that will help build your 2023 capsule wardrobe.
