These 7 Basics Are The Ultimate Heroes of Any Wardrobe

If you want to truly have a wardrobe that instantly kicks your fashion sense up a couple of notches higher, it's time to take basics seriously. Basics are the bedrock pieces in any wardrobe. Behind every fashionista's dazzling fits are an array of seriously simple pieces that act as metaphorical building blocks to easily complement trendier pieces with each season.

While there are a ton of options for basics out there, step foot in a single mall and you can easily tell that the options are in the ‘way-too-much’ category. Drowning you in a sea of boring, dry options. Traits of a style-setter kind of basic must be both versatile and irresistibly fashionable.

The Christy Ng's Jolie Strappy Mules favours an elegant demeanour that’s classy yet minimal in its flair. Handmade from supple vegan leather, these slip-in mules have slim overlapping straps that comfortably wrap around your feet like they were practically made for you.

Look hard enough, and you’ll notice that there’s always a special few key styles that constantly get rotated by influencers and style-forward gals. It’s the same piece that’s used on repeat numerous times but you never notice it because it just fits so fabulously well. The barely-there nature of these strappy mules is exactly one of those key looks.

It sits on a trending square-toe silhouette with slim but wide geometrical heels for an inviting & sophisticated impression. Wear these comfy slip-ins with your favourite pair of denim or skirt.

Every day is a brand new day with its own unique set of quirks & challenges which is why… Sporting the same old style every day of the week is a definite no-no. Take a deeper look within and you’ll find yourself having a distinctly different style for each day of the week. On Monday you might be feeling all minimalist & clean while Thursday might call for a maximalist vibe but not too loud.

Having basics that suit your inner stylist call is compulsory. The secret sauce? Being extremely picky with your shopping choices and only ever investing in pieces you plan to wear for years to come.
