The horsebit loafer has been synonymous with the house of Gucci for decades. Despite the many inventive iterations of the style, the flat, no-frills black leather loafer is as iconic as it is classic. For a bit of contrast, choose Weejun’s black and white leather loafers.

A charming pendant necklace is unexpectedly flattering and feels substantive without overwhelming your neckline. Choose one with inherent meaning or opt for whatever happens to catch your eye—such as these dainty gold name-plate necklaces from Oscar De La Renta or Alighieri.
Few things are better than a luxurious cashmere crewneck when it comes to knitwear. Pop this navy one from Cos over a maxi dress this season, wear alone with your jeans to the office, and layer it into your winter outfits. This neutral navy pullover from The Row is truly a year-round staple.
Feminine and masculine all at once, Ganni’s rounded-shouldered, pinstripe blazer is the definition of bonafide cool. Also a winner, Wardrobe.NYC x Hailey Bieber’s double-breasted blazer.

The search for the chunky but not too chunky hoop is over. Mejuri’s understated gold hoops and Sophie Buhai’s small gold hoops are low-key enough for everyday wear but equally appropriate for, well, everything else.

Before getting distracted by each season’s most stylish footwear trends, you’ll want to make sure you first have a great pair of all-year-round, goes-with-everything boots. One with a manageable height heel, black leather constructions, round or even pointed toe, and slim mid-calf silhouette is likely going to fit within your wardrobe no matter your sartorial preference. Wear Khaite’s luxury ‘Admiral’ ankle boots or Staud’s black ‘Wally’ boots under midi dresses or jeans and even trousers.
This piece of Western fashion has become a mainstay in our closets as of late. From Petar Petrov and Alex Mill, these denim shirts are perfect for that in-between weather. Double-the-denim and pair with a matching pair of jeans.

We dare you to think of a single occasion for which a slip dress isn’t appropriate—seriously, we’ll wait. Wear these ’90s-inspired staples from Vince and L’Agence with a plain white tee or a cozy sweater, or dress it up for one of the many weddings you’ll be attending this season.

To help, The Get has gathered a robust list of our favorite, most versatile pieces we consider to be foundational for any closet. Pared-back but never boring, these are the wardrobe essentials our editors find themselves turning to season after season, those mainstay items we look forward to wearing with everything for what’s left of 2022 and beyond. And while we’ll still welcome irresistible seasonal and trend-forward pieces like suit vests and sleek leather midi skirts—it’s fashion we’re obsessed with, after all!—we know those need to live alongside a capsule of staple items because every wardrobe needs a yin-yang balance. That shiny new statement item will dazzle even more when paired with, say, the perfect go-to denim.
No wardrobe is complete without a pair of Levi’s. Whether you shop them new or vintage, a high-waisted straight-leg pair in an easy blue wash is certainly the wear-everywhere denim you’ll never get sick of. Re/Done’s ’90s high-waist jeans are another heavy hitter–wear with a pair of heels to dress the style up.

Eyeing an investment piece? The upcoming fall season is the time to take the plunge. A high-quality leather jacket can last decades, improves with age, and makes any outfit look effortlessly cool. You can always count on Acne Studios for luxurious leather and for an equally chic choice, Mango’s biker jacket is slightly oversized to fit perfectly over your fall knitwear.
Every woman needs a sophisticated day bag that fits not only her essentials but her style. Gucci’s horsebit black leather and gold hardware shoulder bag feels both modern and vintage, simultaneously ensuring it as a timeless investment. To lean into the late autumnal aesthetic, A.P.C’s brown crossbody is a minimalist’s dream.
We’ll admit, Skim’s undergarments have become an instant hit amongst our editors. They’re genuinely comfortable, lay perfectly flat, and are offered in a wide range of sizes and colors. Three for the price of one, Commando’s thong set is the best way to maximize foundational wardrobe pieces.
As stealthy as they are stylish, a pair of all-black sunglasses are the epitome of timeless chic. Celine Eyewear’s retro black sunnies flatter any face shape, while Ray-Ban Wayfarers’ are a tried and true classic often seen at the Vogue office.
On the Fall 2022 runways, it was about all things tubular–clavicle baring, body-hugging tube tops, and tube dresses. Try the trend out for yourself courtesy of Khaite’s ‘Lucie’ top and Totême’s silk gathered strapless top.
Eres’ retro-inspired strapless swimsuit isn’t your average black one-piece. It has coverage just where you’ll want it, yet its U-ring detailing offers an elegant reveal of just the right amount of skin. Jade Swim’s scoop-neck swimsuit is a must-have on any upcoming vacation.
Elevated versions of basic items like tank tops and t-shirts have the power to transform your outfits and transform your wardrobe. These ribbed tanks from Ninety Percent and Re/Done will channel the simplicity of the ’90s. For added polish with minimal effort, layer it under a blazer.
We love Johnstons of Elgin for the brand’s attention to detail and expert craftsmanship. We also look to them for chic, super-soft socks that feel totally luxe without sacrificing function. Trust us when we say you’ll want to show these off. Worn with any of your lug sole boots this fall, Raey’s gray ribbed cashmere socks are as cozy as they come.
Ballet flats don’t have to be boring. In fact, small details go a long way when it comes to the flat shoe. Take The Row’s black Mary Janes, for example–the sweet shoe style was a top trending item this New York Fashion Week. Porte & Paire’s scrunched ballet flats are similar to the classic silhouette, but with a welcome twist.

Speaking of coats, may we present an updated trench for your consideration? The Frankie Shop’s take on the timeless beige outerwear instantly elevates any outfit with its ever so slightly oversized silhouette. When draped in Raey’s cotton trench, it’s the easiest way to keep your in-between-seasons wardrobe looking fresh.
A relaxed fit trouser makes almost any outfit look effortless, and Cos’ pleated grey pair goes with absolutely everything. For that tailored-to-perfection look, find Co’s pleated straight-leg black pants.
An 1858 regulation introduced the striped tee (or marinière) to the official wardrobe of quartermasters and sailors in the French Navy. In the 160-some years since, it’s become a symbol of timeless French fashion and a very important element in many Vogue editor’s closets—seafaring experience not required. Kule and Rag & Bone have you covered.
Ahead is a well-curated edit that has helped craft the foundation of our wardrobes. It’s safe to say we’re wearing at least one, if not more, of the highlighted pieces below daily. We’ve covered the classics: white t-shirts, crewneck sweaters, trench coats, tailored trousers, chic sneakers. And also those items that have more recently earned their spot as a wardrobe essential: ballet flats, knit dresses, menswear-inspired loafers, and sleeveless sweaters. These pieces have transcended their stance as a fleeting trend, becoming notable additions to the list.

With the holiday season fast approaching, a statement evening shoe deserves to be in your rotation. It also doesn’t hurt that these from Saint Laurent and Mango come adorned with sparkling details. Continue the festivities and style with a matching party two-piece set.
A longline tailored coat is an effortless and eternally chic way to pull together a look, even with casual clothes underneath. You’ll never get tired of this wool-blend wrap coat from Ganni or Mango’s wool coat in ivory. Not to mention, the all-white wardrobe is seasonless in our opinion.
For the ideal middle ground between workout attire and formal workwear, you’ll want a pair of black leggings that aren’t for working out. With zips, slits, flares, or stirrups, leggings with elevated details have improved the wearability of stretchy black pants. We’d argue they could even compete with a pair of trousers! Let these from Totême and Wardrobe.NYC—two brands synonymous with wardrobe essentials—be the foundation for your favorite white t-shirts, blazers, trench coats, and more.
