Basic garments that every woman should have

There are those things that you as a woman should simply have in your wardrobe. In addition to the handbag and various shoes for different occasions, a number of items of clothing should also not be missing. Garments that can be combined with other items of clothing, but also great with each other. It is very important that these garments fit perfectly and emphasize the beautiful sides of the body. In short:basic garments that every woman should have.

Basic garments that every woman should have

It is good to check your closet at least once a year and to sort the available items of clothing. Only keep the clothes that really suit you in terms of style and especially color. Not sure which colors suit you? Then take the test.

The jeans

An indispensable basic piece of clothing is of course the (blue) jeans. Whether for a day out with the family or in combination with a nice top for a date or lunch, jeans are timeless and can be worn for various occasions. Can be endlessly combined with chic or casual tops, it is an indispensable piece of clothing for every woman. Moreover, the choice is now huge:from mom jeans to flaired or cropped. There is really a suitable jeans for every taste, especially if you take a look at the Zalando.nl range.

A white T-shirt

Basic as possible, but still an indispensable piece of clothing:the white T-shirt. Often incorrectly worn under clothing, while in the right combination it looks very nice as a top. You are free to choose between a simple white T-shirt with a simple round neck or, for example, a white T-shirt with V-neck. The advantage of this basic piece of clothing is that an accessory such as a beautiful choker comes into its own much better than when it is worn in combination with a shirt with print.

A white shirt or blouse

An absolute topper, which should not be missed:the white shirt (blouse). Perfect to combine with almost all garments. Whether it's jeans, a chic skirt or trousers, the white shirt always fits. You can also put on the aforementioned white T-shirt underneath. Another nice combination is a colored T-shirt with a white blouse loosely on top. This makes the white blouse look like a kind of overcoat. In short, an absolute must-have for every woman.

Black jacket

Whether used as a jacket or in combination with trousers, a black jacket is one of the basic items of clothing. Chic in combination with black trousers and white T-shirt or with a black skirt. However, the jacket also goes well with jeans for a more sporty look. Due to the color it can be combined with many other colors.

A pair of black trousers

A black jacket naturally also includes black trousers. However, this can not only be worn in combination with the aforementioned jacket, but can also be perfectly combined with, for example, a white shirt. A colored T-shirt can of course also be worn with it. Do you really want to add a summery, somewhat sexy touch to it? Then simply opt for a shirt with spaghetti straps.

A black skirt

Whether knee-length, just above or just below, a black skirt is a must-have basic piece. The skirt can possibly be replaced by the black trousers. It also applies that the black skirt can be combined with a lot and can be worn on multiple occasions. Even in combination with your trendy pair of sneakers and a sweater you still look utterly feminine.

Black dress

A must for every woman:the black dress. Whether it is a short or long model, a black dress can be used for many occasions. Depending on the occasion for which the dress is being worn, a black dress naturally includes the right accessories and shoes. Fortunately, you also have a wide choice of models here, so that you can find the perfect black dress regardless of your mood and style.

A vest

A cardigan in a neutral color can not only serve in winter to stay wonderfully warm in combination with a nice blouse. On a less warm spring or summer day, the cardigan can easily be used as a replacement for the traditional jacket. By choosing a neutral color, you can combine your cardigan with many other items of clothing (think, for example, of white, black, sand color).

A pair of well-fitting bras

There's nothing worse than a bra that doesn't fit properly. Not only is this bad for your breasts, an ill-fitting bra can also make your cleavage look bad. If you don't know how to find a perfectly fitting bra, go to a specialist store and ask for help. Whether it is a bra with underwire, a 'padded' bra or a sports bra, that is a personal choice, it is especially important that the bra fits your size/cup well.

A pair of tights

It is best to have a number of tights at home especially for the black skirt and possibly the black dress. In most cases, black or nude tights will go best with it. For other skirts and dresses you can also have nude or other colored tights.

Combination tips for a nice outfit

As indicated earlier, the above basic garments can easily be combined with each other. Of course it is also possible to supplement the wardrobe with matching items of clothing. Keep the basic garments in mind and start making combinations from there. That way you limit the number of bad buys and you can be sure that you have clothes that you can wear anytime and anywhere.

Must have accessories, shoes and handbags

With the purchase of the aforementioned basic clothing that every woman should have, you are of course not there yet. Matching accessories, suitable for multiple occasions, are indispensable. Here too the following applies:see to what extent you can combine accessories, shoes and handbags. Buy complete sets (ring, necklace, bracelet) rather than all separate jewelry.

Basic shoes you must have:

1. A pair of (black) boots
2. A pair of (black) pumps
3. A pair of comfortable shoes (in the summer eg sandals)
4. A pair of sneakers

Here too the rule applies:all these shoes can be combined with the most diverse outfits. Also ideal for all kinds of occasions:from a pleasant day with friends to a chic dinner with your colleagues.

The handbag

To complete an outfit, the right bag is indispensable. The model, color and size depend entirely on the clothes you wear and the occasion you go to. During a business lunch, a clutch is more useful than an oversized handbag. And during a pleasant day out, that one elegant handbag is of little use, but you would rather opt for a large bag in which you can store everything and anything.

Clothes make the man, but certainly also the woman

Although inner beauty is of greater importance, there are also plenty of moments when you will be judged on your appearance. It is therefore of great importance that you indicate exactly what it is about with your clothing style and that you are dressed correctly. If you have the above basic items of clothing in your closet, you are already well on your way to being able to present yourself well anywhere and at any time. Finally:clothes do not only make the man, but also the woman.
