A wardrobe is built around a set of basic pieces that are versatile and go together with everything else. These items embody your color palette, personal style, and the styles and silhouettes that suit you. Wardrobe staples are usually solid, neutral or versatile colors and are easy to mix and match. Universal prints, such as stripes, are also possible. Basic wardrobe pieces come in versatile styles (like a classic white button-down shirt, but not a purple ruffled top) so they can be easily layered.
