Now that the party season is long gone, it’s time to go back to basics – The ones that always rule your wardrobe, no matter what! And after going through the last two years, one thing that we can be sure of is the best-laid plans can go down the drain and so do the trends. However, there’s one thing that stays – THE BASICS.
With the cancelled travel diaries, ever-shifting office routine, and other postponed plans, our clothing has become all about sticking to our comfort zone. And our comfort begins when we stop thinking about “What to wear the next day”. This question is thrown out of the window when your wardrobe has a collection of versatile, everlasting and comfortable 2022 Must-Haves.
Here’s a list of 7 essentials that will complete your wardrobe and will last you a lifetime.
Button-Down Shirt
Your wardrobe staples should begin with a clean slate and a white crisp shirt is what kick starts the whole collection. Any important work meeting, a classic look for a day, or even a day out with friends, there’s no piece of clothing that makes a better statement than a white shirt.
Styling Tip: Switch the pants with a skirt, shorts or skorts, you will be ready for work in no time.
Essential Knits
No matter where you live, a quality knit can elevate your look for the chilly days. Add one to your wardrobe and your winter looks are sorted. We have been obsessed with this black knit that fulfils all our purposes. From a casual brunch to a client meeting, we have our basic knit handy.
Styling tip: Pair it up with pants or style it over a dress. For extreme chilly days, layer a jacket or overcoat over it to keep yourself warm.

Little Black Dress
No wardrobe is complete without a little black dress. You must have heard it numerous times and that’s because it’s a fact.
