In our Ask a Stylist series, we’re tapping a new expert each month to weigh in with all of their style insights. Return for a professional’s perspective on what to know in fashion.
In my opinion, a great wardrobe starts out with a closet that is centered around great basics. They’re really the building blocks that help you get dressed each day. Curious to find out the opinion of an insider, I chatted with superstylist Dani Michelle to see which items she recommends to her roster of clients, including the impeccably dressed Kendall Jenner.
Dani Michelle is the first to admit that basics are key to any wardrobe. “Basics aren’t basic, they are staples,” she explains, “For me, every woman needs a white dress shirt, loafers, and a good pair of jeans in their closet. It’s back to Cindy Crawford in the airport to the new Celine runways.”
Ahead, five trendy basics from a stylist that deserve a place in your closet. These are pieces that you’ll be able to pull out for the upcoming season, but also for years and years ahead.
