10 Basics for the Wardrobe in 2023
What should I wear today? Basics always fit and make the decision easier. We show you 10 fashion basics that should not be missing from your wardrobe in 2023.
Basics are like kryptonite for the wardrobe - you simply can't do without them. They are timeless classics that can be combined with each other and create a great look. Basics are always in fashion.
As fashion photographer, Jared Tomas said: "Always dress well, but keep it simple". Basics can be individually and elegantly incorporated into your own style. They go with a wide variety of looks and round them off.
Midi skirts
The midi skirt has come to stay. The midi length is perfect for those who can't decide between a mini or maxi skirt - not too short and not too long. It reaches over the knee to mid-calf.
Midi skirts come in different variations such as pleated skirts, A-line skirts or denim skirts and always go well with blouses, shirts, boots or pumps. Combine them casually with a jumper for the perfect street look. The mid-length pencil skirt with a leg slit is particularly trendy this year.
White blouse
No wardrobe should be without a white blouse. It is not only in demand for chic occasions and business meetings but can be combined with all looks. When it comes to blouses, Victoria Beckham is the queen par excellence. With her usual British elegance, she wears the white classic not only with pencil skirts and trouser suits but also sometimes under a leather corset.
Those who find shirt blouses a touch too classic may find their favourite piece in other cuts: blouses with flounces or ruffles look feminine, and playful and loosen up the look. In 2023, the wrap-around look is all the rage. Wrap blouses shape a beautiful waist and conjure up a tremendous décolleté. If you like it casually, you'll definitely love an oversized blouse.
Blouses can be worn with pretty much anything — jeans, skirts, trouser suits, pumps, sneakers and whether in summer or winter. Blouses always fit and look good on every woman.
Leather jacket
The leather jacket is classic, timeless and always a good choice. This year it is particularly popular in the oversized look. Gigi Hadid knows this too and was photographed wearing a long leather jacket at Tom Ford SS23 or a bomber leather jacket at Time Square in New York.
Whether short, long or oversized - leather jackets are a statement piece and create a rocking look.
Jeans
An absolute must-have for every wardrobe is a well-fitting pair of jeans. Whether skinny jeans (which you love or hate), mom jeans or cargo jeans, you need at least one model in your basic repertoire.
This year they can be comfortable. Wide-leg trousers and loose-fit trousers are particularly trendy at the moment. A loose cut and wide legs ensure a comfortable fit and cool style.
Blazer
A blazer adds an extra touch of elegance and style to any outfit. It suits every season and can be combined in a classic or modern way. Especially neutral colours like black, beige or dark blue can be easily incorporated into any style.
In 2023, boxy and wide cuts are particularly modern. Gladly also with shoulder pads or waist belt.
T-Shirt
A tight-fitting crew-neck T-shirt should be part of every fashion staple. It looks sporty, classic and underlines every look. A T-shirt not only goes well with shorts or skirts in summer, casually combined with sneakers or sandals, but also under a jumper on cold days.
Subtle, classic colours or shirts with prints are always a good choice. You can't go wrong with them.
Trench coat
The trench coat is the it-piece among coats. The classic trademark is the double-breasted button placket and the shoulder strap, to which, according to historical origins rank insignia or binoculars were attached. With the belt closed, it forms a beautiful waist and gives a chic style.
Oversized pieces and trench coats in noble leather versions are predicted as trends for 2023.
The perfect dress
It doesn't always have to be "the little black dress" when there are so many beautiful dresses in different variations. A dress suits every woman. It is only important that she feels comfortable in it and enjoys wearing it. From tweed dresses to maxi dresses to knitted dresses: the selection should leave nothing to be desired.
Cut-outs and transparent details are particularly popular this year. But high-necked dresses and wrap dresses are also on trend. In the search for the perfect dress, you can give free rein to your creativity and are guaranteed not to go wrong.
Shopper Bag
Shoppers in XXL are not only the trend bag 2023 but also very practical. It offers a lot of space and is the perfect companion for everyday life or travel. In different sizes and colours, they blend in with any outfit and are thus a timeless classic.
Pumps
Simple pumps worn on special occasions should not be missing from any wardrobe. Because even if you usually go for flat shoes, they are still in demand for certain dates. That's why you should have at least one pair of comfortable pumps ready. In neutral colours, they can be combined with many outfits and conjure up long legs and an upright posture.
Slingback pumps are particularly popular in 2023. They are closed at the front and open at the heels, with a strap above the heel holding the foot in place. In different heel heights, they round off both business outfits and summer looks.

A capsule wardrobe consists of a few minimalist and timeless pieces of clothing. Depending on your own style, each basic outfit can look very different. It is important to buy the right material and good quality. This is the only way to ensure that the pieces last a long time and underline your own fashion style.
