Every wardrobe needs a balance of trend-led pieces that mean you look bang up-to-date as well as those classic items that’ll give your look a timeless elegance. However to get the most out of your wardrobe the clothing you buy needs to be versatile.
So, have a pen and paper at the ready to add these wardrobe winners to your shopping list. And if you already own one or two then well done, if not then you need to get cracking!
This season a peplum top is a real must-have and just because it’s plain doesn’t mean it has to be boring. We love the faux-leather detailing on this design and buying it in a neutral colour means it will go with most of your wardrobe. Add a skinny belt to emphasise your waist and wear it with a pencil skirt or tailored trousers on a night out. Peplum top, €46, Warehouse
If you thought a denim shirt was just for summer then think again! When it comes to essential pieces for your winter wardrobe the denim shirt is right up there as it’s perfect for achieving a cool, model-off-duty look. A denim shirt is by far one of our all-time faves as it goes with everything – tuck it into a printed pencil skirt, wear it loose over pattern trousers or under this season’s novelty knit to keep you warm. Denim shirt, €45, Monki
Chunky and cosy has its place during the colder months but to look more stylish than snugly you’ll need a sleek silhouette. And a pencil skirt is just the ticket plus from plain to patterned there are loads of great styles on the high street. This graphic design is pretty fab in our book; the colour combo of black and grey with a hint of blue make it super wearable. Pencil skirt, €47.50, Marks and Spencer
Ah, but we understand you want to stay warm this winter. So a slim-fit sweater is just the answer to that fashion dilemma. We’re big fans of a bit leopard print so this bright knit with its collar detail totally won us over. We heart! Jumper, €47, Oasis
Looking for a go-to style buy that you can wear to any occasion this winter? Then meet the tailored trouser. The street style set have gone nuts for these babies and we know why – rocking a pair of print trousers can give your daytime look an edge or create an on-trend outfit for evening wear. Print trouser, €29.95, H&M
