“I have nothing to wear,” said every fashionista with a closet full of clothes. Sometimes, having many statement pieces and not enough basic wardrobe essentials to pair them with can overwhelm you. That means it might be time for a closet overhaul or shopping spree. Shopping at your local Salvation Army Family Store is an affordable way to get the fashion must-haves that may be missing from your closet.

Those all-purpose items are wardrobe essentials because they can easily be paired with another item to create an outfit for any affair. They can be dressed up for a formal date night or dressed down for a daytime event. Next time you need a whole new wardrobe, consider using this shopping list of wardrobe essentials: plain white tee, trench coat, black or brown belt, little black dress, leather jacket, jean jacket, comfortable pair of jeans, white button-down, basic cardigan, black blazer. Bonus: grab a pair of all-white sneakers and a lightweight scarf!

All items shown were purchased at a Salvation Army thrift store.
