Building a timeless wardrobe

Here are the staple pieces in my wardrobe in summer 2025:

Tanks & tees 
Neutral colors are the talk right now. And for great reason, they go with everything. However, don’t hesitate to get unique colors if you find any you like. Color can change up an outfit and add brightness to the day. If you are just starting to build a new wardrobe, or if your style preferences are more minimal, a unique t-shirt can become a base statement piece.

Dark and light denim
Light denim is essential in summer, and dark jeans can make an evening look.

Nice belts with chic hardware
I love a good vintage leather belt.

Trousers
I’m opting for all things linen right now – a classy look

Dresses
White or off-white
Colorful
Little black dresses
Maxi dresses

A good cashmere sweater
Lightweight sweaters you can throw around your shoulders (option to tie the arms around your neck) – so chic & make for the perfect day-to-night

A good pair of sandals & ballet flats
Ballet flats and Mary Janes are peaking right now. And they are so chic and feminine.

If visiting Europe this year definitely pack your sandals and flats. If visiting London, or a city where you’ll be taking their public transportation, I personally prefer a shoe with more coverage or protection like the ballet flat or a Mary Jane. I personally like the daintiness of this shoe. If you prefer loafers, Clark’s has some nice options as well.

A pair of comfortable sneakers
Instead of white sneakers, I opt for an off white sneaker with grey/navy/etc for some visual layering.
Comfort is everything for me, some of my favorite shoes that support me and still look cute are: Dr. Scholl’s, Mexico Delegations, Soludos, Clark’s, and Adidas Gazelle

Vintage real cowboy boots – if practical, it’s also a fun rotation piece to pair with dresses/skirts

Crisp button-down shirts, slightly oversized
Perfect to throw over swim suits, dresses, and a casual light top to tie around your shoulders for a day to night fit

When investing in pieces, consider what looks good on your body shape and highlights your body features. Investing in classic pieces can be interchanged/layered for multiple seasons, and the more neutral bases you collect can be used for maximum interchangeability.
