Essentials for a Versatile Wardrobe

I'm just getting started yeah I'm just getting started yeah I'm just getting started yeah hi guys so today I'm going to show you what are my wardrobe Essentials or my wardrobe Staples what makes for a really nice good wardrobe that you can mix and matx clothes if you keep these in your wardrobe guarantee you you can make anything out of using these clothes so I just feel like we leing give me give me take take take grab grab grab culture disposable culture where we just buy clothes and we throw them away we give them away and we don't cherish clothes so the reason I'm making this video today is cuz I got a question on Tumblr and the person asked I really can't be bothered with my style anymore sometimes I go out not really looking presentable and have stopped shopping any tips on Basic Essentials I could wear for a daily basis that would make me look decent but it's not not a major effort and for me effortless style is just like like perisian style is like for me like I think you look the best when you don't try and I love the undone kind of look so um even though sometimes I like to Glam it up like today I got red lips really and um yeah I like the undone kind of minimal look and Min minimal effort and I think that's how I think the direction or fashion should go in like effortless clothing beautiful clothing but worn in such a lovely way they not so fussy you know and for me you have to be comfortable in your clothes so today I'm just going to show you guys how I've set my wardrobe out and and show you guys how my minimalist journey is beginning Slowly by just really buying what I need as opposed to what I want it's nice to buy stuff when you don't really need it but sometimes it's better to just buy exactly what you need and work with what you have that's like my one motto work with what you have and I and people always say oh I love your style and stuff and how you don't spend that much money on clothes and I'm like in embedded in me is like making it work because when I didn't have much money I was still buying clothes and making it work cheap clothes or whatever whatever you think about that then that's your own opinion but I've always been make it work kind of person so guys I hope you enjoy this video and let's get right into it okay so our first wardrobe staple will be a basic white shirt okay so a basic white shirt will work for any occasion I like to wear my white shirts in the daytime because I think it's kind of like a mix of um dressy and casual and I think that's my style as well like it's very casual but then again it's kind of it's always then I can't explain it popping like really like I don't know I can't even explain I can't explain my style what do you guys think my style is you let me know so basic white shirt is definitely one of my wardrobe Staples because it can go with anything you can dress it up and you can dress it down and it still looks very nice and Polished I like the very tailored look and if I'm just going to University I can still rock this like a basic white shirt so I think a white shirt is definitely a piece that you need to keep in your wardrobe I also think a black shirt this one is um polyester so it's not cotton it's not stiff like cotton and it's not like shony it's not like too flowy so I really really like this shirt so it looks like that and it's fitted so that's a fitted basic black shirt and like the white shirt it can go with pretty much anything I like to wear this with an all black look so a basic black shirt is definitely another one of our wardrobe Staples because I think it's effortless and it's very very chic and I love Chic clothing and I think you can be you can pair this with a skirt pants leggings if you wear leggings I don't really wear leggings and let them in the house um but if you like that look yeah I think it's very versatile and that's the best thing about having a wardrobe that is very um basic and very minim obious um next I'm going to say a wardrobe staple and you saw in my other video and it's the denim denim jeans and I said in my last video I was going to go out and I was going to buy another pair of denim jeans from Primark um highwaist of denim jeans so I did and it look so much more better and it says super high waist I don't think it's that high raced because I wanted to wear this top that I'm wearing now and but my top comes down like here and the jeans come up here so this like fat belly is still like hanging out I am fat trust me don't even say oh what fat like sharp like but really I kind of pgy at the moment I put on weight on my hips and my stomach because when I'm at Uni I'm just like screw it I can't W up and I can't run cuz I've got a bit uni or I'm just eating and I'm scoffing my face because I'm like I care like my work is much more important at the moment which is really bad but I'm praying I don't get ill or sick or anything because health is very important guys anyway moving back on so the highwaisted black jeans like I cannot stress enough you need these in your wardrobe you can throw them on of anything and they just work so well and they come all the way down they're slim fit and they just make your they Contour your body so well and it makes it look really really nice so um black high-waisted pants with the rips in there are really really funky and I really love them because it just it makes you just if you just fre them of anything you have instant style because it's like you don't think like I don't know I just really really really love the rugged look with something maybe tasteful and I remember being on the train and people just looking at my KNE caps cuz my knees like really exposed when I'm wearing them and like oh who's this PL well I don't know like a tra I just have these on and it's kind of like rugged and some people like them and some people don't but um I'm definitely one of the people that do like them so I will continue to wear them sticking with the pants leather pants are a definite wardrobe staple for winter and for I just love leather pants I don't know what it is about leather pants and it does not seem to be going away my obsession for leather pants so I brought another so I bought another pair and I really like them the only thing they only had this size left which is size 12 I'm usually size 8 to 10 and they are massive they keep falling down and I wore them the other day and I was like like they keep falling down but leather pants you need to invest in some leather pants because they ultimately Chic and they go with boots flats they go with heels I love especially wearing them with heels they're very very elegant and it sprued up the outfit a lot more and yeah I really really like leather pants so get your hands on a pair of leather pants and their investment piece as well so if you buy them you won't have to buy them again well if they're good quality anyway um you won't need to buy them again so it's good to stock up on things that you can wear over and over and over again without the quality going bad yeah so Lea pants and I know guys I've got so much black and white in my wardrobe because I just think that black and white is just like it's just like it just goes without saying it's just perfect like white and black just go so well together or as separates on their own and I think that um they are just easy to wear really easy to wear and obviously this video is about Staples this is not my entire wardrobe obviously um I do wear a bit of color but my friend always says oh you like his like dark colors and stuff I'm like find the darker color than black and I'll stop wearing it I'm joking but um yeah black and white so this is the next staple pieces and this is the so this some my light here the black top and the basic white T-shirt and I think everybody needs a white T-shirt maybe not a black let me show you guys the back of this top it's like angel wings and it's like all cut out and stuff and it's really really really nice and I really like it so it kind of like adds in like an edge to the normal like basic black T-shirt so the white T-shirt I feel like everybody needs a basic white T-shirt because you can wear them with jeans you can wear them with skirts you can wear them with different colors I love white so much but I just cannot keep white clean oh my God I'll be at the end of the day and I have cuz my makeup is obviously Brown and stuff I always see brown stains and stuff and and it's just really really annoying so yes the t-shirts the dress that I bought and everybody needs a black dress that they can wear in the daytime I wouldn't really wear this as a nighttime outfit but it's so cute it's reminds me of the Adam's family and it's just a black dress oh it's quite short love this dress and everybody needs a black dress that they can wear in a daytime I like the color detail I saw one in Primark and I was going to buy and it was £10 but um I couldn't buy it that day it's all right so a black dress is another staple piece that everybody needs as part of their dayto day you can tone it down with opaque tights for the winter and um or no tights um people get people get on to me on Tumblr like I need freezing when you don't wear tights in your outfit of the day or stuff and I'm like so and for this piece I think a wardrobe is not complete without it I just think it brings any outfit together I think it gives any outfit a kind of Gena and um kind of like makes it a bit more rugged or whatever and it's a leather jacket just a Lea jacket I definitely will invest in a designer leather jacket like who had an amazing leather jacket it wasn't Lon and Kim Kardashian was wearing it and it's just perfect but it's like six grand and I'm like sorry Kimmy you can keep a Le jacket that you share with the rest of your family but anyway leather jacket is a must have for anybody that wants to wear a leather jacket I think it just automatically sues up any outfit and it just gives you that edge and I just really really really really really really love a Lea jacket I just think it just perfect for like any outfit you can wear it dressed up or you can wear it dressed down and I think it just pulls in the look and makes it look really really fantastic so um Everybody invest in Leever jacket I'm pretty sure everybody has a lever jacket whether they like it or not so yeah Lea jacket is definitely an investment piece so go grab one um who do the best leather jackets Zara of course when they do have them in season they are really really nice so another W job staple is a little black dress and LBD and and this has to be my ultimate favorite black dress because it's still the test of time and it still looks amazing this is from H&M but the quality is so amazing I think it was like 30 something I got it on sale and I was like it's just perfect and the way it just Contours and just shapes the body so well it's just like really really amazing so this is the black dress and I advise everybody to have a black dress and it goes like that and it's like a little bit of pleat in there but you it doesn't show when it's on the body and then at the back there's like a zip this is this like my favorite top oh my God it's is like my favorite t-shirt I had it in one of my outfit Days videos underneath a Blazer and it's like um Jersey at the front and chiffon material at the back and it's very Sports Lux and I really really love the sports Lux Trend at the moment and it reminds me of very Alexander Wang but obviously a cheaper version but come on Primark come on guys Primark like how amazing is that and that's like was like £4 or £8 and I really like it so you don't have to buy this one but a c Cami top is very very on Trend it has been since summer but um you should definitely invest in the Cami top because it goes with anything and that's what the whole video is about goes with everything and you can just wear it so a cami top is one of my winter wardrob Essentials next is the tailor jacket this is kind of like a Blazer SL jacket but you saw it in my other vid you saw the jacket in my other video This Is by dotton she actually custom made this jacket for me um she asked me what kind of designer would like I sent her some inspiration pictures and she came up with this Long Jacket um you can see it in full effect you can see it on in my video of dotton I think Auto video and um yeah I really really like this jacket because it just it just structures an outfit and I really love tailored pieces and it's got like a zip so it zips all the way up and it's got these like pockets in here which is Handy what we got here travel card bu travel card like every day so yeah a tail jacket just really brings the look together the jacket and I love the coray color I love like it's like Tweed material I think don't cor me on that and um yeah I really like it so if you want a a custom made jacket I'll leave the details below she makes them for men as well so if you're a guy watching hi um you can go over there and get a nice really nice tailor jacket and yeah buttons guys this is my favorite jacket ever and it's so furry and warm and just ideal for the winter and I'm like oh I really Jackie every single day okay um my friend um Amina From shopaholic she's got a YouTube channel here as well and she saw it in a charity shop this from French Connection originally and she saw it in a charity shop for £25 and she came to my house and she told me about it and I was she was like oh I saw this jacket and stuff and I was like I don't know if I should get it or whatever ever and I she's going showed me the picture and I was like no get it for me so she got it for me so yeah it's just like a furry furry jacket and I have a shorter length one but I really wanted a a longer length one and it's just really really nice and very warm and I advise everyone to get a faux fur or a real fur jacket for this
