From t-shirts to blazers and versatile dresses, wardrobe staples are one of our favourite categories to shop for. Sure, they may not be as riveting as a trendy top, statement shoe, or playful dress, but they're those pieces we wear repeatedly which equates to the the most bang for our buck (that's what I like to call, #fashionmath). Besides, sometimes when you strip things downs to the basics, the best and easiest outfits are born (like these t-shirt outfits which I'm rather fond of).
While we're constantly on the search for timeless wardrobe staples year-round, right now is an excellent time to shop for them. Why? It's the season of Summer sales which means tons of affordable options abound from versatile dresses and jumpsuits to easy-to-wear layers like cardigans and denim jackets. Even better — and yes it does get better — is when already-affordable options like stylish essentials from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's are marked down even further. In fashion maths speak, that's what I like to call a "no brainer" (OK, that's not a fashion maths-specific term, but you feel me).
Ahead, check out 14 affordable wardrobe staples on sale from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's, including options for curvy shapes. Once you've stocked up, head over to The Outfit Bar at Kohl's, where you'll discover a range of affordable outfit ideas you can wear to work, on the weekends, for date night, and beyond.
