Basic Wardrobe Essentials

The McCollum Ladies at Grace Goods Boutique Share Wardrobe Tips

Every woman struggles to feel confident in her sense of style when it comes to clothes. At Grace Goods Boutique, our goal is for our customers to feel beautiful and comfortable every day through the clothing they wear. Foundational pieces become the basics of your style, allowing effortless mixing for a successful wardrobe worn with confidence.

Essential wardrobe pieces include a good pair of jeans, a neutral top, a simple black dress, a quality pair of shoes, and jewelry.

High-quality denim is a reliable wardrobe staple that provides the perfect balance between style and comfort. Accessorize with an oversized or cropped jean jacket. Add a white, black, or neutral-colored tank top or T-shirt. The basic shirt is the perfect canvas for layering, with a focus on soft, comfortable material.

Dresses of assorted styles and colors will provide unlimited options for various occasions. The "Little Black Dress" can be transformed to wear anywhere. Try a mid-thigh length dress layered with a denim jacket and a kitten heel or stylish sneakers. 

A reliable tennis shoe is a must-have. Our favorite is the Cynthia Richard tennis shoe, which pairs well with jeans, shorts, and athletic wear. Every lady also needs nude or black sandals with or without a heel.

Jewelry is essential to completing the look. Start with a good pair of small hoop earrings, adding silver or gold necklaces and basic bracelets to offer endless possibilities of layering. Stack accent jewelry or a layer with a large chain link with chunkier bracelets. 

Ladies need two or three different handbag options and a simple clutch in a bold color to accent any outfit.

Investing in staple pieces will create a solid foundation and confidence in your wardrobe. Start with these recommendations, and you will have a timeless, effortless wardrobe.
