Ten Wardrobe Essentials to own in Preparation for 2022

 

After experiencing a pandemic and witnessing the aftermath in 2021, it is safe to conclude that the minimalist theory has a root in every heart. The fact that you don’t have to own much to look good is the right attitude to start your 2022. And because preparation is what sets the best apart, it is important to strategically organize your wardrobe. In shorter words put your house in order.


NOTE: YOU CAN CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO BUY ANYTHING YOU LIKE. YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED, I EARN A LITTLE COMMISSION.

Now is the best time to give out clothes you haven’t worn all through 2021. Any piece of clothing and accessories that you haven’t tried on this year is less likely to have a place in 2022.  And you may want to declutter before this year ends because you will be learning tips and tricks to having a practical wardrobe.

 The whole fashion industry is buzzing, trends, antiques and unique pieces are being created. A number of luxury brands like Versace and Dior have created more than 72 looks of something new and classy. And you are prone to being caught in the web of a fashion victim; carried away by trends and big names. Neither should you let the cheapness of fast fashion brands like Zara, pretty little things or H&M make you too greedy. I would equally address thrift buyers; always remember that less is more. In reality, the true magic of a genius stylist is in sticking to the basics.

What are these Basic fashion Items?

They are evergreen pieces that never go out of style. They might be modernized, garnished, accessorized to suit different occasions, but at their ordinary state they still make a statement. Whether in the 90s or in recent times, they still find their way into the fashion industry; and this is even a wrong way to say it because they never leave the industry. They are at every runway show, and every red carpet. . These are pieces that everybody must and should own.

You should also note that there are wardrobe theme that reflects our personality and the places we visit the most. If you are a 9 to 5 worker, chances are your wardrobe would be slightly different from the tech guy that lives next door. And this is often times not the case. It is appalling to see a 9 to 5 worker or someone in the corporate organization with casual clothes instead of the corporate clothes they tend to put on every day. It is like seeing a lawyer shop for brighter colors than sober colors. Perhaps, if this is you, it might indicate that this is time to switch job, because to be the best in your industry, your cloth choices must reflect it. You need to understand that these aren’t just stereotypes because if you want to climb the career ladder in any organization you need to look the part.


However, regardless of wardrobe themes, everybody actually needs the basics.

 

Top Ten Basic Wardrobe essentials for Women in preparation for 2022


 The little black dress


T  This dress is a part of my personal favorite. A carefully made and designed dress by Al-Arziki is a must have for every woman in 2022.

The classic men’s white shirt

There is nothing as sexy as a woman putting on a white shirt, it makes you look neat, collected and calm. It is definitely a must have, and it is more stylish when it is slightly bigger. 

I personally  have an obsession with turtlenecks since they can be used as substitute for jackets. I think that one of the coolest things about them is they make great tops, inners or overalls.

A Trench Coat or Jacket of any kind

Whether you are trying to be a baddie, classy or mysterious, your choice of jackets always tell your stories better and the thing is they never go out of style. 

You would be amazed about the rigorous process it takes to make denim. It use to be the cool American teenager go to. But even the classiest of all still never abandon their denim. it is personal and comfortable. 

You are going to have those dinner dates, and I hope in 2022 everybody finds love. Both self love and love outside yourself. And on nights like this, denims or turtlenecks can't say everything you are. A little bit of something shiny is what you need. 





A simple jewelry set

Accessories are your best friends. One is never enough. I have as many plugs as you may need for this. Check out Elib.jewellries on Instagram to get even more beauties like this.

Ballet flats

The heels get tiring to be honest especially if you live in Lagos. This one is from experience. Having a nice flat shoe is essential. Its on my list as well because somehow I end up doing the higher shoes.

High heel plump

The first thing you must note about heels is that its best to keep it low. If your shoe is higher than 4 inches then you are risking our health and fashion too. Its trashy to see people's leg go wobbly from unbalanced shoes.

A great bag

Bags are a part of your dressing, they are not optional. And if you don't like them too big, stick to purses but don't go out with an empty hand.

Top Ten Basic Wardrobe essentials for Men in preparation for 2022

 A black Suit

The first thing to have as a grown up man is your suit set. there are lots of occasions that will call for it. And it is better to be over dressed than under dressed. 


White Shirt

We can't  over emphasize the importance of a white shirt for men. If it makes a woman look calm and collected, it makes a man look powerful and in charge. But keep it neat.


 T-shirt

I sincerely think there is little to men casual fashion, just simple tees would save your day, except you are considering a dress. 





Jewelries

Yes, men need jewelries, a little bit more than women if you ask me. The whole of fashion caters to the women needs. And there is really nothing left to in men fashion. You need to accessories to have an edge. Just a little bling won't hurt. I have never seen men that accessories look like faggots, if anything I am attracted at the open display of artistic foresight. My favorite men jewelry plug would be Alpha--ng






Sneakers

the good thing about sneakers is not that they are comfortable alone, but the fact that they are flexible. I see them as fashion shape shifters, you can use them to spice anything up. 
Belt


Take it easy with medusa's golden head. I know Versace is a good brand but except on dire occasions keep to the simple belt. It makes you look less of a fashion victim and more of a fashion genius. 
2 In 1 Brown And Black Belt available on jumia for ₦ 5,000

Denim

The suits get boring to be honest. I handpicked this Denim and hoodie mix up because you kill two birds with one stone and look good. If the weather is cold, having a turtle neck on with  your sneakers and attitude is just perfect.

Corporate shoe

Avoid funny looking shoes;  they could have buckles, pencil mouths and be unusually shiny, but there is no need to have them a bit curved upward or sew together in a funny looking way. In Short avoid those loafers  for corporate events. 


Varratti Shoe available on jumia for ₦ 9,999 - ₦ 10,999


Turtle neck
Men Turtle Neck Top Brown  available on Jumia for ₦ 5,888


A purse

You do not need a bible purse only, you need your purse for every other occasion as well. and not just small wallets. I mean the more noticeable yet portable ones. 


Layer pouch available on Jumia for ₦ 4,450




I would explain in details how to rock each of these pieces in subsequent articles. Ensure you watch out for more.

Happy New Year in advance.
