Essential items are the backbone of a functional and gorgeous wardrobe. A good wardrobe is one that allows you to mix and match a multitude of outfits. I used to buy a lot of trendy/statement pieces which often resulted in not having anything to wear. Don't get me wrong these items are great but hard to match on daily basis.
Planning your outfit should be easy and fun. But how to start?
For essential items you'd want to stick to neutral colour palettes (black, white, cream, navy, khaki). You'll also want to add a little bit of a pop - red, yellow, even neon shades.
