Summer closet reboot: 5 wardrobe must-haves

HOUSTON – Whether you work in an office, at home or outside all day, your closet should have some basic staples to get you through almost any event.

Your closet probably has dozens of items with patterns, prints, florals and sequins, but somewhere in there you just need some basics, everything else is the icing on top. 

For women: 

  • Nice white T-shirt or blouse
  • Fitted slacks
  • Black or navy blazer 
  • Black dress
  • Nude pumps

For men:

Chinos
Blazer 
Classic white T-shirt 
Dress shirt 
Dress shoes

The jewelry, tie, pocket square, even the belt, are all nice added extras, but start with these five and keep these basics clean and updated. You don't have to spend a ton on the basics  and when they fade or wear, you should replace them It's a good idea to keep these staples in your closet year around.
