Clothing goes in cycles, just like the seasons. One day, it’s crop tops and Nike shorts, and then the next day it’s yoga pants and over-sized flannel.
But why spend money on new outfits every time the weather changes?
Women
Light sweaters
Light sweaters can virtually be worn year round. They can be dressed up or down with a statement necklace or a scarf. Or they can act as a layer and go over sheer material. This is the perfect essential to keep in every closet because it is so versatile.
Cardigans
Cardigans can add to any outfit. They can add a slouchy, warm or casual look to any outfit. Or they can dress up an outfit in an instant.
Skinny Jeans
Though they come and go in cycles, especially when the seasons change, skinny jeans can be found in almost any magazine throughout the year. Pair them with an oversized sweater or flannel, add a pair of low cut boots, and your outfit is complete.
Beanies
Beanies are making a comeback. No longer just for the hipsters, beanies have become a staple for most outfits because they can add to almost any outfit. The slouchy beanie has especially become popular for fall, winter and spring. Beanies can even be paired with jean shorts in today's fashion.

A strand pearls goes with everything. It goes with any outfit, from Nike shorts and Comfort Color shirts to a cocktail dress. This accessory can be paired with almost any outfit and can add elegance to any look.
Leggings
This has quickly become a staple for the everyday casual outfit. It can be paired with sneakers, boots or sandals.
Signature Scarf
Scarves are no longer just for winter. It can be put on top of a tank top in the summer and bring a pop of color to any outfit.
Low Cut Boots
Boots can dress up any look, but low cut boots allow us to wear them year round. They can be worn even in the heat and add a bit of an edge to a look.
Men
Khaki pants
Yes, I am in favor of khakis. I know not a lot people would agree, but khaki pants can go with anything. They're comfortable, they can go with most shirt options, and they can be dressed up or down.
Short sleeve polo
Polo shirts are clean cut and can be added to. You can add layers to it or wear it with long or short pants.
Blazer
Blazers can dress up any look. They can be worn in almost any situation, like interviews or to class, on a date or to church.
Button-down shirts
This is a classic outfit essential that can be paired with almost any kind of pant or short. It's versatile and can be worn virtually anywhere.
Loafers or Sneakers
Comfy shoes are just as important as the outfit. Sneakers or loafers can add to the outfit, and they're both very comfortable.
