7 Fashion Staples you Absolutely Must Have in Your Wardrobe

7 Fashion Staples you Absolutely Must Have in Your Wardrobe

BIKER JACKET WITH TRANSITIONAL DRESS

To be well-dressed for every occasion, there are some essential fashion staples that just have to be in your wardrobe. That way, you will always be etiquette-ready for dinner parties, business meetings, and formal galas. Because, between you and me, there is nothing more disappointing than looking for a particular clothing item that you are dying to wear and immediately realizing that you don’t own it.

Much to our delight, we were able to catch up with Wendy Tee, a London-based art director, to give us her opinion on which of our clothing items she considers to be her top fashion must-haves. We loved hearing her thoughts as she has been involved with brands such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Net-a-Porter, and Space NK. It was definitely a catch, wouldn’t you agree? 

So, keep reading to find out which fashion staples you can’t miss out on and, if you stay until the very end, we promise you a little extra something that you will surely enjoy too!

Questions and Answers with Wendy Tee Art Director

Q- Wendy, tell us a little bit about your personal style and what you love most about Gomez-Gracia

 

W- My style is very laid-back, mostly in monochrome. There is always an element of comfort in my dressing, with an appreciation for craftsmanship and subtle details. What I really love about Gomez-Gracia is that it is a high-wattage luxury fashion label that stands out for its unbashful sexy take on female power dressing.

 

Q- We are dying to know what are your top three Gomez-Gracia’s must-haves and why

 

W- Hmm, let me think. It’s a bit hard to pick only three out of so many wonderful choices. But, if I only have to pick three I will go with the washable suede or stretch leather leggings, the base mask with the confetti fashion cover, and the Pompidou jumpsuit.

 

 

BASE MASK + FASHION COVER FOR MASK 

The reason why I chose the stretch leather leggings in the first place is that they are a staple of my wardrobe, and these chic versions will elevate my existing basics for day and night. With masks being an integral part of life these days, the versatility of the GG base mask allows me to use it simply on its own, and also customize with a fashion cover for a fun addition to my look. And lastly, the Pompidou jumpsuit is an easy item to simply throw on that instantly makes me look polished and ready for a date night.

POMPIDOU JUMPSUIT

 

Q- Did you notice any changes in trends due to Covid-19?

 

W- That’s a great question. "Workleisure" is a current category that I am embracing wholeheartedly - it sounds more comfortable and creative than "business casual", and it sums up my life where work and leisure can sometimes overlap each other.

 

Q- Very briefly: How did you get into fashion?

 

W- I studied a Bachelor of Design (majoring in Graphics & Media) in Australia and I was lucky to get my start in the industry at Harper's Bazaar magazine, which then led me to pursue my career further in London over a decade ago.

 

Q- Thank you, Wendy. We loved hearing your thoughts. What is your contact information for people who may want to get in touch?

 

W- They can reach me at wendytee.net

 

Wendy Tee shared with us her favourite staples, and we loved her choices. But, would you like to know ours? This is the little surprise we had in store for you. So, keep reading to find out which ones they are!

Our top recommendations for your wardrobe 

 

To have an always-ready-for-every-occasion wardrobe, we would like to share with you our own top three fashion staples. So, grab a pen and paper and take some notes, because you cannot miss out on our favourite picks!

 

#1 OXFORD SHIRT

 

A new take on the classic button-up blouse, our double georgette Oxford shirt is made of silk and features oversized French cuffs, and a high collar with a button fastening down the centre front placket.

This shirt is perfect for office-wear, as well as sexy date-nights. It's classy, fresh, and comfortable, and an absolute must-have in your collection.

 

 

#2 BIKER JACKET

 

Made from lambskin leather, with a cashmere alpaca lining, this jacket is perfect for fall weather. You can dress it up or down, depending on the occasion. For casual meetings, it can be worn with boots and a cozy jersey dress. For more formal settings, it can be worn over a more feminine floaty silhouette to give it some edge. And would you like to know the best part? This jacket is reversible, so you get the best of both worlds!

 

 LEATHER FITTED BIKER JACKET
 

#3 DIABLA DRESS

 

Our last pick is this beautiful and classy dress that comes in leather, suede and even pony! Diabla is a cap sleeve dress, which is perfect for pairing with a tailored blazer for office hours. It comes lined in silk with the option of an exposed zipper in the back and it looks great paired with our fringe bolero's. And, if you feel like stealing all the glances at a party, you can wear this gorgeously flattering dress on its own with your favourite sky-high stilettos! 

 

 

 

We hope that you loved these staples from both Wendy and us as much as we did. Having these items in your wardrobe will guarantee that you always show up looking spectacular and comfortable for every occasion.

 

Do you already own any of these pieces? We would love to hear your thoughts!
