These items are indispensable in a woman's basic wardrobe

1. The 'evergreen' jeans

The jeans will never disappear from the streets and can therefore safely be labeled as an everlasting item from the basic wardrobe of a woman. A nice fitting jeans is worth its weight in gold and can be worn casually as well as a bit more casual with, for example, a blazer.

Besides the jeans, the coated trousers can now also be part of your basic wardrobe. The coated pants can also be worn casual and chic and they are just as comfortable as the old jeans.

For a casual look, combine either item with a sweater, sweatshirt or a nice t-shirt. If you want to look a bit neater, you can use your blazer with a blouse or a top. Or do you, as a woman, combine these basic wardrobe items with a nice cardigan.

2. A dress, preferably a Little Black Dress variant

You would almost think you can't have enough dresses in your wardrobe, and many women love them. But there is at least one that should not be missing in your wardrobe. The LBD. Choose a black or a blue version if you find black a bit too heavy. You can easily combine a dress with a nice blazer and nice pumps for a chic look. If you want to look cool, then you should of course choose beautiful boots or a lovely sneaker and a nice leather jacket!

3. Beautiful trench coat for the in-between seasons

It goes without saying that we all need a coat. But apart from your 'regular' coat, a trench coat in your basic wardrobe is a very good idea for the woman. You can wear this lovely jacket in between seasons, but you can also use it as a business jacket. On Jas.nl you will find a number of very nice copies.

4. A cardigan is indispensable in a woman's basic wardrobe

If you are as cold as I am, then a cardigan is indispensable in your basic wardrobe. I can tell you that I wear it almost every day and as I mentioned above, a cardigan also combines very nicely with a woman's other basic clothing. You quickly put it on over your t-shirt and jeans, but a nice cardigan also goes well with a dress. And you can even combine trousers with a chic cardigan for a slightly more casual look.

5. The trousers

Maybe you don't like it, but woman, trousers would be a very nice addition to your basic wardrobe! And don't think that trousers always have to be super chic, you can also choose a more casual variant. Nevertheless, trousers look clearly neater than jeans. That is why it is very useful with the rest of your basics. Preferably choose the color black or dark blue again for the trousers so that you can easily combine them with the other clothes that you have in your closet.

6. A t-shirt of nice quality

Of course you have more than one t-shirt in your wardrobe, but at least make sure you have items in white, gray, black and possibly dark blue that are of really good quality. Preferably without print or with a small logo on it so that you can combine these basics with all your other clothing. You can easily wear a t-shirt under your blouse if you want to and of course you are also ready for the cooler periods with a cardigan over it. Nice jeans underneath or a leather jacket on top is also cool.

7. Basic wardrobe item for every woman:the leather jacket

I have already mentioned the leather jacket a number of times and of course it falls under the basic clothing with which you can easily combine. You can dress yourself cool by putting on your jeans underneath and a pair of nice sneakers, but you can also wear a leather jacket very well on your LBD, for example, which gives you a completely different look with a scarf. Even from a business point of view, this can be a good option.

8. The blouse

Although the blouse is not at the top of my list, I think it is one of the wardrobe tips for every woman's basic clothing. You can easily combine a blouse with your jeans or your coated trousers, but also with trousers of course. For easy combinations, choose at least a nice basic color. Are you very fond of blouses yourself? Buy one (or more) in a bright color! With a nice top underneath, you'll be the woman everyone turns to when you walk by in no time at all.

9. A blazer

The blazer is also such a must-have for the woman in her basic wardrobe. Also preferably in an easy to combine shade. A basic item is a basic item for a reason, right? It is better to buy a brightly colored scarf than a brightly colored blazer. With that scarf you pick up your entire outfit, and the blazer stands out in such a way that you yourself attract too much attention.

Which clothing suits you?

Whether it's your basic wardrobe or not, as a woman it's useful to do a little research on the type of figure you have. If you know what figure you have, then you know better what to shop for in the store. Think, for example, of the different types of dresses that are available, not every type of dress suits every woman. In the video below, Jiami is happy to explain what suits you best. The trench coat is also mentioned here again!
