Everybody needs staples in their wardrobe.
You know them: high-quality, timeless, versatile, and flattering pieces that can withstand years of wear. No doubt, pre-loved luxury makes for the best staple pieces you can reach for again and again, saving you from the age-old crisis of staring into a full closet and uttering the ever-familiar, “I have nothing to wear.”
Here are 5 timeless pieces you can get from Shop Repurpose!
Wool Coat
Wool’s fibers have “natural kinks and bends” that give it insulating, ventilating, and moisture-wicking properties. In fact, wool can absorb around 30% of its own weight before feeling damp and generates heat while drying!
With a wool coat, you can count on feeling comfortable and dry year-round.

Black Dress
The classic LBD! In many ways, black dresses are the ultimate staple piece.
Dresses can be dressed up or down to suit almost every season and occasion- and of course, black is an extremely versatile and flattering color. It’s always a good idea to have a couple of black dresses on hand: feel free to explore different silhouettes, lengths, fabrics, and detailing to suit your personal style!

Cashmere Top
Cashmere is another miracle material! It’s insulating, breathable, and exceptionally soft.
And because it’s so breathable, cashmere is an ideal fabric to wear in the summer as well as the winter. This means that the cost-per-wear for cashmere pieces is often significantly lower than the retail price.
(Of course, buying pre-loved cashmere is the most cost-effective and sustainable way to add this staple to your wardrobe!)
