Wardrobe staples are classic pieces for a reason . . . well, for several reasons. Let's think about a white tee, great jeans [1], and a neutral blazer to start. Not only can you wear all three of those together (year after year), but it's so easy to immediately think about what other items in your existing wardrobe you can pair them with as well. Then, take something like a little black dress [2] and imagine all the places and occasions where that'd fit, too. How easy was that?
In the spirit of pinpointing essentials like these that you'll wear over and over, we looked through all the sections at Old Navy [3] and picked 25 pieces to mix and match with things you already own [4] (or to even create a capsule wardrobe by themselves). Check out our finds ahead, and see which ones fit your needs next.
