Change is not always a bad thing. When life becomes mundane, it’s a good idea to get inspired by looking to things outside our comfort zone. This rule applies to styling and building a wardrobe too. We often rush to buy new things for one occasion or give into fast fashion trends without realizing the longevity of these pieces. Often times the hurried last-minute shopping we do for an occasion only ends up getting used for that occasion. Which is why when you want to stay trendy and stylish, you must invest in pieces that are not just good designs but wearable and versatile. Those that can be used many times with different pieces (best if they blend into your daily activities) as that’s how you get the most use out of your designerwear.
These pieces can vary according to your personal style but we’ve found 7 versatile pieces that you can update your wardrobe with. First up, we’re sharing a white Zimmermann dress. It’s the kind of dress that is an ode to femininity and romanticism. The belted, broderie anglaise design is in some way the perfect and only white dress you need to invest in the summers. Add a pair of wedges and a bucket bag for a summer day out, add jelly sandals and a hat for the beach, heels and jewels for afternoon tea. There’s so much you can do with this – simply because the design itself is so well put together.

We’re also loving the variety in bags that has popped up this season. Yes, our Instagram too is flooded with candy coloured mini bags that have certainly made for a catchy feed. The thing is, when you want a wardrobe update it has to be with a piece that shows potential with more than one type of styling option. Which is why, bright bags are super cute but we would suggest a more neutral palette. The Gucci Ophidia mini bag we’ve linked below is a chic little investment. It works as a mini bag but has the power to be paired with far more pieces from your wardrobe. It’s also classy! Other than the size, it’s unlikely going to go out of style anytime soon. If you’re looking for a more roomy option, the crowd favourite Chloé Woody tote is a great design too. Chloé nails the play of neutrals (beige and brown) and the logo tape is a winner for us. You can take so much around in this bag and the top handles act as a fine support. If you want a wardrobe update with classy neutrals, this one isn’t to be missed.
