In the fight to end the constant wardrobe struggle, there are 5 basic items that I think every closet needs. (And as the co-owner of a virtual wardrobe styling company, The Styled Life, I’ve seen my fair share of closets.) All of these items can be shopped right here on Styleshack! Having these 5 pieces in your closet will help ease the pain when deciding what outfit to wear for your next life event. Or even what to wear tomorrow.
