10 basics for the 2023 wardrobe
What should I wear today? Basics always fit and make the decision easier. We show 10 fashion basics that should not be missing in the wardrobe in 2023.
Basics are like kryptonite for the wardrobe - you just can't do without them. They are the timeless classics that can be easily combined with each other and conjure up a great look. Basics are always trendy.
As fashion photographer Jared Tomas said: "Always dress well, but keep it simple" . Basics can be individually and elegantly integrated into your own style. They go with a wide variety of looks and round them off.
midi skirts
The midi skirt is here to stay. The mid-length is perfect for those who can't decide between a mini or maxi skirt - not too short and not too long. It reaches over the knee to the middle of the calf.
Midi skirts are available in different versions such as pleated skirts, A-line skirts or denim skirts and always go well with blouses, shirts, boots or pumps. Casually combined with a pullover, the perfect street look is created. The medium-length pencil skirt with a leg slit is particularly trendy this year.
White blouse
A white blouse should not be missing in any wardrobe. It is not only in demand for chic occasions and business meetings, but can be combined with all looks. When it comes to blouses , Victoria Beckham is the queen par excellence. With the usual British elegance, she not only wears the white classic with a pencil skirt and trouser suit, but also sometimes under a leather corset.
If shirt blouses are a bit too classic for you, you might find your favorite piece in other cuts: blouses with flounces or ruffles look feminine, playful and loosen up the look. In 2023, the wrapped look is totally in trend. Wrap blouses form a beautiful waist and conjure up a great décolleté. If you like it casual, you will definitely love an oversized blouse.
Blouses can be worn with pretty much anything. Jeans, skirts, trouser suits, pumps, sneakers, whether in summer or winter. Blouses always fit and suit every woman.
leather jacket
The leather jacket is classic, timeless and always a good choice. It is particularly popular this year in the oversized look. Gigi Hadid also knows this and was photographed on the Tom Ford SS23 with a long leather jacket or appeared in Times Square in New York with a bomber leather jacket.
Whether short, long or oversized - leather jackets are a statement piece and create a rock look.
Jeans
Well-fitting jeans are an absolute must-have for every wardrobe. Whether it's skinny jeans (which you love or hate), mom jeans or cargo jeans, you need at least one model in your basic repertoire.
It can be comfortable this year. Wide-leg trousers and loose-fit trousers are particularly trendy at the moment. A loose cut and wide legs ensure a comfortable fit and a cool style.
blazer
A blazer adds an extra touch of elegance and style to any outfit. It is suitable for every season and can be combined in a classic or modern way. Particularly neutral colors such as black, beige or dark blue can be easily integrated into any style.
In 2023, boxy and roomy cuts are particularly modern. Gladly also with shoulder pads or waist belt.
t shirt
A fitted crew-neck t-shirt should be part of every fashion staple. It looks sporty, classic and underlines every look. A T-shirt not only goes well with shorts or skirts in summer, casually combined with sneakers or sandals, but also under a sweater on cold days.
Subtle, classic colors or shirts with a print are always a good choice. You simply can't go wrong with this.
trench coat
The trench coat is the it-piece among coats. Classic trademarks are the two-row button placket and the shoulder strap, to which, according to historical origin , rank insignia or binoculars were attached. With a closed belt, it forms a beautiful waist and gives a chic style.
Here, too, oversized pieces and trench coats in fine leather versions were forecast as trends for 2023.
The perfect dress
It doesn't always have to be "the little black dress" when there are so many beautiful dresses in different variants. A dress suits every woman. It is only important that she feels comfortable in it and likes to wear it. From tweed dresses to maxi dresses to knitted dresses: the selection should leave nothing to be desired.
Cut-outs and transparent details are particularly popular this year. But high-necked dresses and wrap dresses are also trendy. When looking for the perfect dress, you can let your creativity run free and you are guaranteed not to go wrong.
Shopper bag
Shoppers in XXL are not only the trend bag for 2023, they are also very practical. It offers a lot of space and is the perfect companion in everyday life or when travelling. Available in different sizes and colors, they fit into any outfit and are therefore a timeless classic.
pumps
Plain pumps that are worn on special occasions should not be missing in any wardrobe. Because even if you might otherwise prefer flat shoes, they are still in demand on certain dates. That's why at least a pair of comfortable pumps should be ready. In neutral colors they can be combined with many outfits and conjure up long legs and an upright posture.
In 2023, slingback pumps will be particularly popular. They are closed at the front and open at the heels, with a strap holding the foot above the heel. In different heel heights, they round off both the business outfit and the summer look.
"Buy less, choose well, make it last" - Vivienne Westwood
A capsule wardrobe consists of a few, minimalist and timeless pieces of clothing. Depending on your own style, every basic equipment can look very different. It is important that the right material and good quality are valued when purchasing. This is the only way that the pieces will last for a long time and underline your own fashion style.
