There comes a time when the seasons change and we feel the inevitable need to refresh our wardrobe. Whether we’re seeking a bold transformation or simply want to inject some fresh options into our daily attire, certain wardrobe staples never disappoint. However, while classic essentials maintain their reliability and timelessness, new and revisited staples have also become integral additions to our wardrobes.

As the rebellious twin sisters to your classic pieces, these new staples add a touch of excitement and edge to your wardrobe, while still being versatile enough to wear with your favourite essentials. From statement blazers to bold accessories, there are so many exciting new pieces to explore.

Here are the new must-try staples for the transitional season. Let’s dive in and discover what these exciting pieces can do for your closet.

If you already own classic white sneakers, perhaps it’s time to focus on a new variety of casual footwear – sneakers that have started off by targeting specific areas of expertise and gained fame and appreciation within that world.
