A universally frustrating experience is having a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear. Imagine: you're running late, a heap of clothes on the floor, contemplating whether to burn the entire closet and start over.
Darcy Apparel aims to provide artful attire, vintage basics, and eclectic home goods. They focus on natural products and sustainability – including their in-house label designed in Fayetteville and ethically made in L.A. The owner loves elevated basics—versatile pieces with unique details. Here are her tips for a timeless wardrobe!
Building a Lasting Wardrobe: Invest in great denim, especially 100% cotton. Linen and corduroy work year-round, and cotton sweaters are perfect for layering. Add print pieces and artful textures, like a ribbed knit sweater over a cotton tank, to spice up your basics.
The Meaning of “Timeless”: Pieces that endure due to their fabric, structure, or elevated look. Examples include a 60’s French striped shirt, a unisex sweater you or your boyfriend can wear, and 90’s Diane Keaton.
Styling vs. Wearing: The key to styling is adding your personal flair. Darcy says, “I’m a simple stylist, but I like juxtaposition, like a flowy top with oversized denim or a heel with a casual outfit.” Add personal elements to make the outfit your own!
