I turned 36 in December, and while I have curated my wardrobe staples over the years, I think I’ve finally settled on a capsule of the below 27 items. Now, well into my 30s, I think it’s safe to say I’m happy with these pieces and I would never switch any of them out for anything else. Yes, newer additions come and go, but these are the ones I wear regularly. I’ve not included items like skirts or wedding guest dresses because as I’ve mentioned, this is about getting dressed daily, rather than for those special events.
This list isn’t about items that are nice to have. This list isn’t about trends, either. This list is all about pieces that will last in your wardrobe, and whenever you wear them, they will make you feel good. Everything I’ve featured below are items I own (and where that isn’t possible, I’ve found something very similar) and are my fail-safe options when it comes to getting dressed quickly and chicly. They enable me to get ready without having to think about it—a life hack that can never be underestimated.
