I'm an Anti-Trend Person—These Are My Current Wardrobe Staples

While I love to keep my finger on the pulse of the latest fashion trends, it's rare that I indulge. Instead, I like to focus on building a wardrobe that I can rely on for many years to come. With that comes a keen interest in key staples that I know I will wear over and over again in everyday outfits and for formal occasions. In essence, the pieces are all classic, comfortable, and relatively simple, and they pack an understated yet cool punch.

One thing I appreciate most about building this type of collection is that the pieces come together to create a capsule wardrobe of sorts, where each item can easily be mixed and matched. Think basic white T-shirts in a variety of styles, polished camel coats, great black dresses, and more.
