10 Wardrobe Essentials for College Girls

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lasell chapter.

Have you ever gone through a friends closet and thought to yourself “hmm, how come I don’t have this in closet?” Well don’t worry! Here is a list of eight essential wardrobe items that every women should own. These items are stylish, yet simple at the same time.

1. Plain White Tee Shirt: The nice thing about a plain white tee shirt is that it goes great with just about everything! From a nice maxi skirt to a pair of light-wash jeans, a plain white tee shirt will work great, especially if you are going for a simple and casual look.

2. Ballet Flats: Are you trying to find a common ground between high heels and sneakers? Ballet flats are a great fix! Ballet flats, whether simple or embellished with studs, are amazing. Ballet flats can also go great if you are transitioning from  a day to night look.

3. Black Cardigan: Black cardigans are always on trend. They are something that is effortless, stylish, and timeless. Whether for work or for a night out, black cardigans are definitely staple pieces. They can either be worn with a nice statement necklace or simply as is. Whichever way you prefer, you will still rock your look!

4. Blazers: Like ballet flats, blazers work wonders for turning day into night looks. The nice thing about blazers is that they come in all different colors, textures, fabrics, and more. They can either be worn over a flirty spring dress or  paired with dark-wash jeans and a cute top. Personally, I have numerous blazers in my closet.

5. Black Leggings: Leggings! Leggings! Leggings! I think leggings are great because they are multifunctional and can be worn with just about anything. They can complement a slouched-casual look or can be worn with a button down shirt and a jean jacket. In fact, they are even perfect for the gym!

6. Classic Pumps: When you see the words “classic pumps,” you are probably wondering what I am talking about. In general, classic pumps are heels that can be worn with just about any outfit.  Classic pumps are great because you don’t  have to change your footwear when going from a day to night look. It is very easy to accomplish a nice look with classic pumps, in  any setting.

7. Dark Denim:  I have to admit, I love love love denim. But in particular, dark denim. Dark denim jeans come in different types of washes and styles. Not only do they work wonders in a women’s wardrobe, but they also adhere to a women’s body type very well.

8. Little Black Dress (LBD):  Out of all the things that I mentioned on this list, LBD’s are my favorite. They totally rock the day to night look. I have seen them worn with a pair of flats and a nice jacket or a pair of simple, yet stunning high heels and a statement necklace.
