20 Wardrobe Staples to Complete Your Closet

Everyone defines a classic differently. But there are certain items of clothing that will always add value to your closet, no matter how you define your sense of personal style. A perfect white T-shirt or tank top can be the essential ingredient in a perfectly preppy ensemble or a laid-back bohemian look, and a well-made leather belt will elevate any outfit.
