The best term to describe the world of fashion is cyclical. Fashion trends constantly change, and trying to keep up can be exhausting and financially draining. VALLEY believes in a simple solution to combat this wardrobe stress.
Invest in timeless pieces.
The term “capsule wardrobe” has recently been trending, leading people to reevaluate the staple pieces in their closets. According to Wikipedia, a capsule wardrobe is “a minimalist collection of clothes that can be put together in different ways to cover a variety of outfits and occasions.”
You can transform how you dress by selecting solid pieces that will never go out of style. Fast fashion may be a quick fix, but investing in solid pieces can be beneficial in the long run.
The first step in forming your capsule wardrobe is understanding what style makes you feel the most confident. Trendy items may seem appealing, but you will likely feel out of place if they don’t fit quite right. Knowing yourself and what you like will be the key to forming a wardrobe you love.
Let’s dive into some staple pieces to help you build a versatile and timeless closet.
Denim Jeans
A solid pair of denim jeans is a must-have. Jean styles constantly change, but if you find your perfect fit, you will want to stay with them for the long haul. Jeans are very versatile, can be dressed up or down, and are also an essential base for outfit building.
Don’t be afraid to spend a little extra money on these. A good pair of jeans is a worthwhile investment.

Basic T-Shirts
Basics are the foundation of any great outfit. Opting for solid-colored basic T-shirts will help you build your outfits. While accessories like jewelry and belts can enhance a look, the base starts the masterpiece.

Belts
Neutral-colored belts are another key accessory. Belts are not just practical for holding up your pants; at VALLEY, we believe they add an extra touch of style.
