5 Closet Staples That Work for Everyone

At the turning of each season, at the arrival of a seasonal party invitation, at the last minute notification that a Zoom meeting has turned into an in-office event, it happens...The inevitable turning to the closet: full of items we now stare at blankly, finding each piece in turns too trendy, too boring, too "pandemic-era" or the like and declare we "have NOTHING to wear!"

With this moment (and our hectic lives!) in mind, why not take a moment to go back to  fashion basics: the classic mix-and-match pieces that have never let us down and can take us anywhere we need to be at a moments notice.
