How I Curated My Go-To Classic Look with Just a Few Essentials
Have you ever found yourself staring at your closet, surrounded by clothes, yet still feeling like you have nothing to wear? That was me until I finally decided to curate a handful of classic pieces that would be my go-to look for any occasion. Today, I’m sharing my essentials for building that timeless, polished vibe—no fuss, just chic simplicity.
The Perfect Foundation: A Cropped Cardigan with a Twist
Let’s start with a piece that feels cozy but refined: the WARDROBE NYC Cropped Cardigan with Shoulder Pads. The shoulder pads add just a hint of structure, giving this cardigan an edge that I absolutely love. It’s not your typical cardigan; it’s bold and structured, and it turns a simple outfit into a statement. Whether I’m pairing it with jeans or something a bit more dressed up, it has quickly become my wardrobe staple.
A Hint of Bold: High-Waisted Hot Shorts
For a modern take on a classic, I needed something sleek yet understated, and the Monot High Waisted Hot Shorts fit the bill perfectly. They’re high-waisted, bringing a flattering silhouette that pairs effortlessly with the cropped cardigan. Plus, they have that clean, minimalist look that I adore. Despite being simple, they’re the kind of shorts that always look put together—and isn’t that the magic of a good classic look?
Elevate It with the Right Shoes
Of course, a classic look wouldn’t be complete without a chic pair of heels. Enter the Saint Laurent Stone Slingback Pumps. These beauties are the perfect balance of elegance and edge. The low slingback style is versatile enough for both day and night, while the luxe details make them anything but ordinary. I can wear them with shorts and a cardigan for an effortlessly sophisticated look or even a simple dress to instantly elevate the vibe.
The Essential Accessory: A Timeless Shoulder Bag
Finally, I added the Saint Laurent Mini Flat Shoulder Bag to pull everything together. Compact, sleek, and easy to carry, this bag is the definition of timeless. It’s structured without being bulky, making it the perfect match for my minimalist look. It holds the essentials—phone, wallet, lipstick—without weighing me down. And because it’s black, it seamlessly pairs with almost anything in my closet.
These four pieces have become the backbone of my classic look. Whenever I want to feel effortlessly put together, I reach for them. It’s amazing how just a few thoughtfully chosen items can completely transform how you feel in your outfit.
