There is something to be said about surrounding yourself with reliable pieces that stand the test of time and can mix and match with your seasonal pieces. This makes getting dressed as effortless as possible each and every morning!
From the perfect t-shirt, a top that can transition from desk to dinner and the jeans that will make every outfit look good, these are the essential pieces you need to make the most out of your wardrobe!
Little Black Dress
As Karl Lagerfeld once said, “One is never over-dress or underdressed with a Little Black Dress” and we could not agree more. A little black dress is the definition of staple piece in your wardrobe. Whether you are going to work, for drinks with your friends or to a wedding, a little black dress is a timeless piece that you will be grabbing more often than not in your closet.
The Perfect T-Shirt
Securing the perfect t-shirt is like finding a four leaf clover, not impossible but not common and beautiful once you do. Thankfully, we have done the work here for you and we have found the PERFECT t-shirt. Little tip, this t-shirt is labelled as S-XL, but the XL fits our 2X model.

Straight Leg Jeans
Straight leg jeans are the new skinny jean, they are all the rage! Something great about a straight leg is you can dress them down for errands or dress them up for work or a night out on the town. We have found some amazing light wash, dark wash and black denim straight leg jeans you will want to add to your closet.
Desk-to-Dinner Tops
Life is busy and sometimes you can only squeeze in dinner with your bestie after a long day of work. Most of us don’t want to have to bring an extra bag to work that has a change of clothes, which is why having some tops that can take you from desk-to-dinner are great to have in your wardrobe!
Maxi Skirt
Maxi skirts have been a fashion staple for decades and continue to remain relevant season after season. Their classic design ensures that they never go out of style, making them a reliable choice for any wardrobe. Unlike some tighter or restrictive clothing options, maxi skirts offer a relaxed fit that allows you to move freely throughout your day. Whether you're running errands or headed to work, a maxi skirt can be styled accordingly with different tops and accessories.
Tank Top or Bodysuit
Layering pieces are an essential part of your wardrobe. Whether you’re wearing them under a blazer or jean jacket, or for a little extra coverage under a sheer top, it is imperative that you have some go-to layering pieces. We recommend tank tops and bodysuits for this and we have found some real gems for you.
Little White Dress
A little white dress is effortlessly chic and and endlessly versatile piece to have in your wardrobe. Whether you’re attending a brunch or a date night, a little white dress is a great staple piece that you can mix and match with your fun seasonal pieces, like a fun pop of colour with a sandal!
Gold Hoops
Pairing a gold hoop with any outfit can instantly jazz up your look, even your sweatsuit! A gold hoop adds a touch of glamour and completes any look with a hint of effortless style. We are big fans of a gold hoop here at Valencia and we all wear some variation of a gold hoop daily.
Button Down Shirt
A button down shirt is a great piece because it can be dressed up or down, making it suitable for a variety of occasions. Being a fashion staple for decades their classic design ensures that they never go out of style and are easy to pair with your more seasonal pieces.
Denim Skirt
Much like jeans, a denim skirt is an incredibly versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Denim skirts are a great closet staples as they can be used all year round, whether you are wearing them with sandals or sneakers in the Spring and Summer or with tights and boots in the cooler months.
Investing in staple pieces for your wardrobe is not only a practical decision but also a stylish one. Timeless essentials serve as the building blocks for countless outfits!
