A new year is upon us, which means that it’s a great time to declutter and update your wardrobe.
But how can you do it on a budget? Instead of a complete overhaul, update your wardrobe by adding just a few staple pieces that can carry you throughout the year.
Keep scrolling for key pieces, all under R500, that’ll allow you to freshen up your closet without breaking the bank.
Your go-to dress

A sleek white shirt

Denims

A great pair of denims will serve you all-year round and versatile enough to be worn with pretty much anything. Style, colour, and wash are all personal choices – so go for a pair that suits you best and that you feel comfortable in.
Must-have camis

Camis are timeless pieces and never go out of style. Available in a range of different colours, they can be worn to the office, casual lunch dates, drinks with the girls and even on date night. They’re also great for layering throughout the colder months. Tuck them into your shorts and skirts in the summer, then style them with jeans and a blazer during winter.
The slip skirt
The slip dress was loved in the nineties, and we’ve been loving its re-emergence over the past few seasons. Now, the skirt version of the silky frock has become a fashion favourite. Its simple design means that it can be styled in many different ways, no matter the time of the year.
The perfect everyday bag
Crossbody bags are trendy, versatile and perfect for a woman on the go. This barrel bag with monogram print is the ideal pick for smart or casual affairs. Slick and stylish, it works with any outfit.
Top tip: Opting for a smaller everyday bag will make you think twice about what you need and eliminate clutter.
