    43 Timeless Pieces Of Clothing That Belong In Your Closet, Stat

    Trends can be fun, but a blazer and a solid pair of jeans will *always* be in style.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. A pair of TikTok-famous Aerie high-waisted crossover leggings, because athleisure wear isn't going anywhere, and if you wanna spend the day feeling comfortable *and* looking stylish, you can't go wrong with these.

    Aerie

    At one point, there was so much demand that they were sold out online, but luckily for us they're back in stock!

    Promising review: "Second skin softness. I would wear these leggings every day if I could! They are silky and supportive, but not restrictive. The crossover waist is my favorite feature. Great for working out or just hanging out. I love the camo pattern." —Melissa

    Get them from Aerie for $22.47+ (originally $44.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL, regular, short, and long lengths, and three styles). 

    2. A very necessary long-sleeve bodysuit perfect for anyone who hates having to keep tucking their top into their pants throughout the day. Plus, it's affordable enough to buy in multiples!

    Promising review: "Absolutely love this top! It my go-to now! It's not see-through and very stretchy. Most tops I get are very scratchy at the clasps but this is one is very comfortable. I’ve washed this shirt multiple times and it hasn’t faded or shrunk." —Makaysha Eagle Trail

    Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors, as well as a short-sleeved version).

    3. A stylish wide-leg romper, which looks like it came straight out of an expensive linen collection rather than good old Amazon dot com. It's giving "cool art teacher" vibes and would look so cute under a chunky cardigan or paired with a fitted top.

    reviewer wearing the army green romper with a black tee underneath

    Promising review: "I got this to be sort of a summer into fall transition item and I’m so surprised by how comfortable it is! If you like things to fit snugly on you, don’t bother getting this because it is loose everywhere unless you tighten it all the way, but it’s super breathable and comfortable! Especially for layering!" —Brie Parry

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 13 colors). 

    4. A classic pair of Abercrombie mid-rise straight jeans in case you're looking for your new favorite everyday pants (they'll go with EVERYTHING). Thanks for everything, threadbare sweats, but you've been replaced.

    Abercrombie

    Promising review: "These jeans are possibly the most underrated Abercrombie jeans! The mid-rise is super comfortable and I love the overall leg length and fit. They give off vintage Levi’s vibes, but are a great fit for curves. I would buy these in every wash if there were more available!" —karfaymau

    Get them from Abercrombie for $90 (available in sizes 23–37, five lengths, and three washes, as well as in a Curve Love fit). 

    5. A Levi's faux leather jacket, because if there's one layering piece you need on those fickle days when the weather can't make up its mind, it's this bad boy. Throw it over lit-er-al-ly everything in your closet and thank me when you're wondering how you ever got by without it.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket! I wear it all the time and it’s perfect for all seasons and most all occasions. It was definitely a splurge on my end but it was so worth it. Yes it’s stiff at first but more use of it makes it mold to your body. Highly recommend this!" —Satine/Kelley

    Get it from Amazon for $29.48+ (available in sizes XS–4X and 48 colors/patterns — not all styles available in all sizes).

    6. And a pair of faux-leather leggings reviewers say are an A+ affordable dupe for the pricey ones by Spanx (these have thousands of 5-star ratings!). So sleek, and you can easily dress 'em up or down.

    Promising review: "Omg!! Literally the best! Sizing was perfect, it’s true to size. Thick, not see-through, it’s EXACTLY like Spanx. I had a pair of the Spanx one and lost it, don’t know where it is and ordered these last minute for my vacation and I was shocked at the quality for the price. Buy it! You will not regret it!" —Boca Doce Baking

    Get them from Amazon for $69.31 (available in sizes XS–4XL and four colors).

    7. Hill House's iconic Ellie Nap Dress, which, true to its name, is as comfy as something you'd want to sleep in, but stylish enough to wear to an event where you want to impress.

    Hill House

    Promising review: "I don't think I've reviewed this dress because 100+ reviews and it selling out on each launch sort of speaks for itself. This is just the perfect dress, for literally anybody! There is not a single day that goes by that I'm wearing one and I don't get a compliment from someone. You can dress them up or dress them down. You can nap in them, then put some heels on and wear it out to dinner! They are so easy to wear. As a person who can't stand wearing a lot of clothes, these are essential to my wardrobe. You cannot go wrong with this dress. Every drop I say I'm going to order something different and I just wind up with more Ellies. You think you shouldn't order another one because you already have one or two? ORDER IT! In all the colors and prints! As for sizing, remember to size down." —Karina

    Get it from Hill House for $99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 22 colors/prints — not all styles available in all sizes). 

    8. An ever-so-oversized blazer, because if you don't already have one of these wardrobe essentials in your closet, there's no time like the present. It'll instantly pull your whole outfit together, even if you throw it on over a basic tee and jeans combo.

    reviewer wearing the white blazer with a white top, green pants, and white boots

    Prime members: You can try before you buy

    Promising review: "Completely obsessed!! The quality is super stunning! Looks and feels like butter. Not itchy or stiff. Soft/stretchy lining that allows for one to scrunch sleeves up. Super chic and definitely a dupe for high-end blazers! Purchased in white and beige. True to size. I’d say size up if you’re wanting the extreme oversized look. Overall super pleased with these blazers and recommend them to anyone wanting to look and feel fabulous but on an even more fabulous budget!" —SC

    Get it from Amazon for $39.14+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 10 colors). 

    9. A breezy yet polished white button-down that's a bit more relaxed than the stiff and starchy oxfords of yore. Still the same "goes with everything" staple, but much more comfy and casual.

    model wearing the white button-down half tucked into a pair of distressed jeans
    J Crew

    Promising review: "I've been looking for a white poplin shirt for months and am thrilled to have found this J.Crew piece. I love that it's airy and oversized but still looks put together, and the washed-cotton texture makes it easy to dress up or down." —elledub

    Get it from J.Crew for $89.50 (available in classic sizes 00–24, petite sizes 00–12, and tall sizes 2–16). 

    10. A silky slip dress you'll buy because of the ~dreamy~ fabric and keep because it makes you feel incredibly glamorous whenever you put it on. And so versatile! I mean, how many things can you don at a fancy party one day and pair with tennies and a baseball cap the next?

    Anthropologie

    It is hand-wash only, but it's a small price to pay for all of the wear you'll get out of it.

    Promising review: "The perfect dress. It is extremely difficult to find simple, elegant, comfortable dresses that you can dress up or down when you’re plus size. This dress made me feel beautiful, which is not something I’ve ever said about a dress before. It felt effortlessly elegant and has room to move without feeling baggy. I want it in every color!" —Avbeee

    Get it from Anthropologie for $120 (available in standard and petite sizes XXS–XL, plus sizes 1X–3X, and five colors/patterns — not all styles available in all sizes).

    11. And a striking slip midi skirt for anyone who wants to make a statement — that statement being: "I have excellent taste in clothes."

    Promising review: "I am not a huge reviewer but I had to with this skirt. It’s amazing. Looks so much more expensive than it actually is. Do yourself a favor and just add to cart." —Elle

    Get it from Amazon for $21.20+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 23 colors/prints). 

    12. An oldie but goodie Hanes crewneck so soft and stylish, more than 100k Amazon customers gave it 5-star ratings! If there's a comfier "running errands while looking effortlessly cool" top out there, I don't wanna know about it.

    Prime members: You can try before you buy

    Promising review: "I have bought five or six (different colors) since last year. Absolutely love the fit. If they shrink? I don’t know it! They are somewhat lightweight, but warm and cozy. I wear a sweatshirt every day — all year round. I have slept in these, worked out in these, and 'dressed up' the sweatshirt for casual wear. I like extra room and always wear one to two shirts underneath the sweatshirt — especially during winter months." —Harleyj59

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in men's sizes S–5XL and 17 colors).

    13. A pair of tailored ankle trousers you can wear to the office, out to brunch, or on days when you feel like your outfit deserves a step up from your distressed jeans. And they come in so many beautiful colors, you'll be all like, "Boring khakis who?"

    Another promising review: "I have looked at the Kady pants for over a year. Finally, I decided to purchase two pairs in colors that I love. These pants are awesome and I love the quality fabric. A few days later, I purchased another pair. These pants are a plus for any wardrobe!!" —Sheila M.

    Get them from Eloquii for $79.95 (available in sizes 14–28, short, regular, and long lengths, and 11 colors, as well as in other fits to suit different proportions here and here). 

    14. A ruffled deep-V mini that would look equally as lovely with tights and boots in the winter as it would with strappy sandals or white sneakers come spring and summer.

Throw it over every sweater and thermal you own and it'll make you look like you effortlessly threw a composed outfit together. Plus, it's really reasonably priced for something you'll wear a zillion times.

    Psst: Reviewers say to throw it in the dryer before wearing to get it looking really puffy!

    Promising review: "Fall/winter must-have! Absolutely love this vest! Super easy to dress up or down. Has draw cords on the bottom so you can adjust how cropped it is." —jamie hansen

    Another promising review: "I am absolutely OBSESSED with this puffer vest. It is lightweight and not overbearing, but at the same time it keeps me warm and feels so comfy. I took the advice of other reviews and ordered an extra small even though I'm usually a small, and I'm so glad I did. I love the cropped look that the smaller size gives me. I will certainly be buying this in other colors." —Lydia Spencer

    Get it from Amazon for $36.97 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors). 

    18. A low-maintenance short-sleeved jumpsuit made from a stretchy fabric that'll keep you comfy while running errands all day and looking fab when you pair it with your "going out" heels at night. 

    reviewer wearing the black jumpsuit
    reviewer wearing the blue jumpsuit

    Promising review: "Y'all. If heaven were a piece of clothing, it would be this jumpsuit. The fabric is so buttery soft and it is so cute and chic. You can easily dress it up with accent jewelry and some cute shoes, or nap in it. It has a cute boat neck cut, but if you leave the top keyhole unbuttoned you can achieve the hanging off the shoulder look. It is the perfect amount of 'baggy'. Will definitely be re-ordering in other sizes. This is a new staple piece in my closet." —Rachel Landrum

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 31 styles). 

    19. Or a beautiful minimalist linen jumpsuit with the cutest tie-waist belt if you prefer a versatile piece with a bit more structure.

    Old Navy

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this trench! I have been searching for a trench that isn't too long on me (I'm 5'1) and didn't want to break the bank buying one, either. I ordered the light beige and I like it so much I ordered one in black, too. Just size down if you want more of a refined tailored look." —Robyn

    Everlane

    I bought these pants in black last year, and they quickly become one of my go-to pairs. At 5' tall, it's hard for me to find pants that aren't too long without going the junior-size route, so I was pleasantly surprised to find these hit me just above my ankles — the perfect length for pairing with my chunky Doc Martens (my cold weather shoe of choice). I recently packed these on a trip to Italy, and paired them with white sneakers during the day for a cute and casual comfy look. They feel SO sturdy, yet lightweight, and while I haven't had them for a super long time, I can tell they're gonna last me a while.

    Promising review: "These pants are the comfiest thing you’ll ever put on. I was soooo surprised. I usually don’t wear jeans all that much because they are just uncomfortable to me. So when I stumbled across these in the store I just had to get them. I’ve worn them my entire trip, hiking, a night out, for a cute coffee date with friends — they are A MUST-have piece in everyone's closet. And they just are so versatile, too. You could pull them off with sneakers or heels. I could just go on and on about these pants." —JasminaB

    Get them from Everlane for $98 (available in regular and tall sizes 000–16 and four colors — not all colors available in all sizes). 

    29. An essential fitted cropped tee, which is really cute on its own during the warmer months and makes a great layering piece under cardigans and jackets when it's cooler. Gotta love a basic but versatile wardrobe staple!

    Promising review: "I love this shirt! It instantly became my favorite crop top. It is lightweight and very breathable while also fitting very snuggly. It doesn't ride up very much either, so I'm not constantly pulling it down. I'm about to purchase more!" —Giahne

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 34 colors/prints — not all styles available in all sizes). 

    30. An effortlessly cool hoodie and joggers set to replace your worn out sweats, because this one's ~actually~ a cohesive outfit. Those rich colors! That cropped top! Those high-waisted pants! Your go-to cozy uniform has never looked this luxe.

    Promising review: "Sooo, I’m obsessed with this. I have it in blue lavender and charcoal now, and both are perfect! The material is so soft and plush and warm (like, impressively high quality), and I love the high-waisted pants! I don’t remember how I found this shop, but I’m so glad I did. Also — I ended up exchanging sizes, and it was the easiest exchange of my life! And shipping is always super quick!" —Caroline Morris

    Promising review: "These are my favorite summer tanks. I bought my first tank like these at a boutique, and when I learned that Amazon also had these, I was super happy, as they were basically the exact same and cheaper. I have this tank in so many colors. The straps are adjustable, and it's flowy and breathable. Looks great by itself or under a cardigan or jacket for cooler days/nights." —Jessica

    Another promising review: "This shirt can be casual or dressed up. I love it so much I bought more in different colors. Very lightweight and flow-y but excellent material." —Samantha

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 22 colors/prints).

    Promising review: "Um, OK, this is my new favorite dress for fall/winter. I just got it and I already wore it for date night with tights underneath, and it was so cute and comfy all night. The skirt of the dress has an extra layer of lining underneath so it’s not see-through at all, and the top part of the dress has elastic on the back so it’s nice and fitted without being uncomfortable. Definitely recommend!" —Kaitlin

    Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors/prints).

    33. A vintage-inspired plaid wool midi skirt, which would look equally at home in the illustrations of a Jane Austen novel as it will in your modern-day closet. The sweet button-front detail is just the cutest.

    Promising review: "This jacket is so well made. I love the fleece lining and cropped fit. It's remarkably warm (I didn't expect that), which is a nice bonus. It looks so cute with everything. It is a little oversized, which I like bc I can layer under it if necessary. It's TTS if you want a slightly oversized fit." —Kokopuff

    41. A downright dreamy maxi for anyone who refuses to sacrifice comfort *or* style. Those cute little bow straps! 🥺

    Promising review: "I ordered the light purple to wear to a wedding and other events and absolutely love it! It fits true to size and is very comfortable, even on extremely hot and humid days since it is a thinner, flowy material (not see-through due to lining, though!)." —Sarah Munson

    Another promising review: "Very light and airy dress! Super comfortable. I’m 5’2, and it wasn’t too long at all. It’s super easy to dress it up or down. I got lots of compliments on it." —lexi

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 31 colors/prints). 

    42. A cool pair of high-waisted faux leather shorts that look so much more luxe than their under-$30 price tag would ever let on. And if you pair 'em with tights or leggings, you'll get year-round use out of them!

    Promising review: "So versatile. I bought these shorts to go out for dinner with one of my girlfriends. Super cute, plenty of compliments, and the quality is amazing.

    43. And finally, a pair of ridiculously cute pencil pants with not only a bow at the waist, but at the tapered ends as well! Wear them to your bestie's birthday party, work, or...literally anywhere you wanna look polished.

    Promising review: "A must-have!!! This pant is super cute, fits quite comfortably, and the material is very good quality. Its elastic makes it stay up nicely at the waist so that it doesn't shift when you stretch or sit. It goes nicely with a crop top without any exposure of skin. It can be worn on different occasions — dress it up with heels if you want a more formal look or dress it down if you are going for casually elegant. It's the popcorn pant I have always dreamt of!!!" —Fomba Kanneh

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 54 colors/prints, as well as in sets of two or three).
