10 Hardworking Pieces You Should Have In Your Closet

10 Hardworking Pieces You Should Have In Your Closet

The lockdown and almost two years of working from home showed us the importance of being mindful of our environment, including our wardrobe. Staying indoors made us miss getting ready, so we always jump at the chance whenever we do go out. Now that we have more freedom to enjoy the outdoors, you might find yourself looking for new staples to wear and love.

Ahead, we rounded up 10 pieces that are absolute must-haves for post-lockdown dressing. From brilliant dresses to classic jeans, here’s what’s worth checking out right now.

 

1. Wrap Dresses

Shop the Gigi Parker Long Sleeves Wrap Dress With Ruffles, $139.00

Want a dress that works for any occasion? A wrap dress is your best option. Its effortless silhouette and “throw on and go” appeal make it one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Whether you’re attending a wedding or elevating a brunch outfit, a wrap dress won’t let you down.

When a top looks too plain, the easiest way to spruce it up is by sporting a dainty pendant necklace. It instantly ties a look together, whether it’s a casual or dressy ensemble. If it were up to us, we’d choose necklaces over earrings any day.
