As we slowly approach the end of winter, our emails are beginning to get flooded with a ton of sales and discounts. It can be a bit overwhelming, but there is a method to the madness so you’re not buying things solely because it’s on sale.
The one thing you should be buying during these sales is your essentials. These are the items that keep your wardrobe functional.
Essential items can be pricey since the quality should be the first thing you look at when buying any of those items, so grabbing these at this time would benefit your pockets. It is solely due to you wearing these particular items over and over. They are the finishing touches on most outfits if not all.
When you receive these emails, take the time to create a list of the brands you typically shop for and know the quality is top tier. This way, you do not waste time buying things from new brands.
I’ll get into the list a few, but if you decide to purchase items outside of the wardrobe essentials list, you choose classic silhouettes, styles, and colors. This way, you can wear these items season after season. It doesn’t mean they aren’t on trend; it is what I call smart shopping.
What are some of the times you should essentially be buying?
I’m glad you asked, here is a list of things I would recommend buying during this crucial time.
OUTERWEAR
Typically trench coats, wool coats, and leather jackets are the top three outerwear pieces every woman should own in her wardrobe. It is the perfect time to grab them if you do not already own them.
You’ll be able to get the best quality for a low price, so get hunting on the brands you would love to shop at.
BOTTOMS
With your bottoms, let’s go with denim skirts, pencil shirts, trousers, leather pants, and a great pair of jeans. You can’t go wrong with these items, and you ladies know I’m all for cost per wear, and these items will and can be work season after season.
TOPS
You already know your black turtlenecks, chunky sweaters, cardigans, and white button-up shirts, even if they aren’t your favorites. They add value to your wardrobe and complete almost every outfit.
FOOTWEAR
My favorite section of them all, you should keep these items on your radar; your classic pumps, ankle boots, knee boots, thigh-high boots ( optional), a classic pair of white sneakers, Chelsea boots, and some strappy sandals. It will cover almost all of your outs in spring and summer.
Start with these and shop smart during this time. You can either add value to your wardrobe or cause more struggle. It is solely up to how you work these sales.
