15 WARDROBE ESSENTIALS FOR 2023

I love organizing my wardrobe at the beginning of each new year to see which looks I wore the most during the previous year. I find it helpful to have these styles handy to grab and go whenever I need them. Whether it be to run to the store or pack for vacation; these are looks that are beneficial to my everyday fashion life. That’s why I’m excited to share 15 wardrobe essentials for 2023 that will help you look put together. I hope you enjoy these wardrobe essentials as much as I do!

Outfit details: J.Crew Cotton Fisherman Sweater / J.Crew Slim Boyfriend Jeans / J.Crew Woven Straw Market Tote / Carrie Forbes Raffia Salon Slides / Chimi 09 Sunglasses

This cotton fisherman sweater is the perfect sweater for spring that’s cozy, but not too heavy and I love it in this raw cashew color. You can size down for a more fitted look (like I’m wearing) or size up for a more relaxed look. It also looks great thrown over your shoulders with a white tee and jeans.

These sunglasses are fantastic! I love how they sit really well on the bridge of your nose and provide lots of shade while looking super chic.

A pair of denim jeans is key to an essential wardrobe for the new year. I usually have them in a few sizes just in case I want to wear them more fitted or loose. I love this pair too.

This straw market tote is a wardrobe essential I’ve been carrying around for years. I’m so happy that it’s available with a white handle this year. It’s the perfect market tote for everyday use and on vacation.

I love having a beautiful pair of raffia sandals in my closet. These raffia sandals get restocked every year and are so well made. They look great with jeans, pants, and beautiful vacation dresses. You can read my raffia sandal review for more details.

I love having a cashmere sweater as part of my wardrobe essentials, because they’re soft, cozy, and easy to throw on in a pinch.

These white sneakers are perfect to wear while traveling and running errands around town. I even wear my pair out to lunch, because they’re so comfortable and super cute.

Having a light jacket handy is always key and especially while traveling. I love this new light weight jacket that just arrived for spring.

An easy dress that you can dress up or wear casual is always great to have in your essentials wardrobe. I also love this dress that has a pop of color.

A striped tee is a definite must have in an essentials wardrobe. I wear mine all the time with a nice pair of jeans and my raffia sandals.

On most days, you’ll see me wearing my favorite pearl stud earrings that I bought a few years ago. I wear them every single day with any outfit.

A cardigan is perfect to have handy at all times, as you never know when you’re going to feel chilly at a restaurant or theater. I like to have two cardigans as part of my essential wardrobe; a lightweight one that I can also use in the summer and a thicker cardigan to use when it’s cold.

I love wearing ballet flats, because they’re so easy to wear with so many outfits. While I have them in many colors, I think having them in neutral colors is your best bet. Here are some ballet flats that I love here and here!

A bright white shirt or top is also a must have and I especially love to wear them with jeans. Here are some new white shirts I’m loving; this new gauze popover shirt and this one.

Leather sandals go great with so many outfits, which makes them a wonderful addition to your wardrobe essentials list. This beautiful pair of sandals come in two colors that I really love.

You’ll also want to add a great pair of white jeans to this wardrobe. White jeans always stand out and look amazing with your cashmere sweaters and cardigans that I mentioned above. Here are some white jean outfit ideas I put together for you.
