New season staples
As the seasons shift, it’s the perfect moment to breathe new life into your wardrobe, infusing it with a fresh sense of style.
While classic wardrobe essentials remain steadfast and timeless, there’s a thrill in embracing the latest and revisited staples that are making waves on the fashion scene.
I have been taking mental notes over the past few weeks and ended up detecting some game-changing pieces I’m expecting to become the must-haves of the season, as well as the staples that will properly update your forever closet. From oversized leather jackets to biker boots and long skirts, here are the most in-demand essentials to invest in.
Leather jackets
They come with a worn effect and hardware details. These revamped biker and aviator jackets give a nod to the ’90s while embracing an oversized twist that transforms the entire look. It’s the perfect blend of vintage cool and contemporary style.
