5 Basic Accessories to Wear With Every Type of Outfit

Just a hunch: The first thing that's likely to come to your mind when you hear the word "basics" is probably of the clothing sort. You know, jeans, T-shirts, blazers, black pants, etc. But accessories can be basics too, and they're some of the most frequently worn basics we all own. In fact, you probably use accessory basics more than anything else in your wardrobe. Just think about how many times you've worn your favorite black bag as opposed to your favorite blazer.Â

The strongest accessory basics are those that can be worn with a variety of outfits—from something as casual as leggings and a hoodie to something as nice as a wedding guest outfit (when people start going to those again). To prove their versatility, for each accessory, we chose three very different looks from the same stylish woman wearing the item in question. Keep scrolling to see (and shop) the five accessories that are wardrobe workhorses for life.
