Fresh Start: Items to Upgrade in Your Wardrobe for 2021

2021/02/12

Most of us are relieved 2020 has come to a close, and we’re all approaching the coming months with cautious optimism. Our first step to a fresh start is replacing a few old, over-worn essentials with new-and-improved upgrades. From box-fresh gym shoes to a super cozy bralette (you won’t even know you’re wearing it!), these are the staples we’ll be swapping ASAP:

SOCKS

Is your sock drawer full of holey toes and mismatched pairs? It’s time for an upgrade. Step into 2021 with simple luxuries, like cashmere socks. This downy soft pair from Johnstons of Elgin is knitted in the UK in a hearty cable pattern that’s built to last.

BRALETTE

Quarantine and a quieter lifestyle has us ditching wires and push-ups for comfier supports—AKA: the bralette. Touted as one of the comfiest bras on the market, Truekind’s Everyday Throw-On Wireless Bralette offers a smooth and seamless fit that gives natural lift.

UNDERWEAR

If you’re cleaning out the sock drawer, you should take the opportunity to refresh your underpinnings too. Cosabella’s lace thongs are made in Italy and feature high stretch and scalloped edges for a smooth, barely-there feel. This pretty pack of seven will see you through the week (and a whirlwind vacation when we can travel again).

SLIPPERS

Slippers became the stay-at-home shoe of choice last year, and we’re ready to swap our well-loved pair for a fresh and new style. Sleeper’s plush shearling version are built to last and will look just as chic worn with a silky robe as they will with your Zoom-ready office look.

Sleeper Shearling Slippers $290

WHITE TEE

The white tee is an undisputed essential, and we’re ready to reboot this basic for 2021. We love Preen By Thornton Bregazzi’s take on the staple—it features a statement-making taffeta bow at the bust.

GYM SHOES

Whether you’re aiming to crush new resolutions or maintain your routine, a new set of training shoes are in order to start the year off right. Nike’s SuperRep Go pair features cozy foam cushioning and flexible support for live-streaming fitness classes or hitting the gym when it re-opens (they’ll look great with all of your athleisure outfits, too).
