7 garments and accessories to invest in in your 20s

It may be tough to figure out what is genuinely worth the investment when it comes to upgrading your wardrobe, especially in your 20s when you are prone to all the trends that surround you and want to try them all. But classic clothes and accessories made of high-quality fabrics will not only last longer, but will also make you appear more sophisticated and put-together. If you’re starting your fashion journey, whether you’re in your early or late 20s, these are the first staples to invest in. 

Trench coat 

No wardrobe is complete without a trench coat. If correctly chosen, this will be your go-to outerwear for almost every season and they are also very easy to wear: just throw your camel-colored trench coat over any look and it will become an eye-catching attire. 

Black dress

Apart from high-quality fabric, choose a modest design, such as a midi length, will nicely show off your curves and will look good for every occasion, from a job interview to going out to a theatre, a wedding, and even church. 

Wool sweater 

When it comes to wool sweaters, the quality is everything, so it is better to make a one-time investment into a pricier piece than to purchase a new sweater every year. Go for classic designs, as these beautiful Irish sweaters range, as they are sure to last for many years and to make you look preppy even when you pair it with some basic jeans. 

Straight leg denim jeans 

Regardless of how popular mom’s fits, low-waisted flared or slouch jeans have been over the recent seasons, a pair of straight leg denims is one of the best investments you can make for yourself in your 20s. Make sure to choose a pair that will fit you comfortably even without a belt and pick the right color to wear on every season and occasion. 

Everyday bag

When shopping for an everyday bag, it is important to pay attention to three main things: the design, the fabric, and the color. Since you’re going to take it with you every day, choose a big leather bag that will fit all your belongings inside. Black is the safest option, but if you’re into lighter tones, a beige one will be just perfect. 

Leather boots

If you live in a cold region with freezing winters, some long leather boots are an absolute must-have for the colder period of the year. Choose a classic pair of boots that are above your knees, that are made of leather (or very qualitative laux leather, if you prefer it more) that will go well with all of your wardrobe.

Pearls 

If there’s one piece of jewelry to invest in in your 20s, it is surely pearls. Much more discrete, but just as great as diamonds, they will elevate every outfit you will put together. And most importantly, pearls will look good on you not only when you’re in your 20s, but also many decades later and can even be passed down to the future generation as a precious familial gift.
