Cool Girl Closet Essentials
Cool girls are all about taking basic outfits and elevating them in the most fun ways possible. We love seeing funky prints and accessories paired with other interesting shapes and styles. Here is our list of pieces to help you do the same and elevate your style in a creative and fashionable way.
First of all, let's start with the basics you’ll need for your cool girl wardrobe transformation. These are the basics that are going to make up your outfits. I love looking for pieces that are just slightly elevated, whether this means pieces with a unique silhouette or interesting detailing.
Black Mini Skirt
A black mini skirt is the most timeless basic that everyone needs in their wardrobe. It can do absolutely everything from morning coffee trips to nights out on the town. Pair with sneakers, scrunched-down socks, and a sweater for a cozy, cute look or opt for strappy flats and a tank top for a going-out look.

Leather Jackets
A leather jacket is by far my favourite style of jacket. It can be easily dressed up or down and elevates even the most basic outfit. An oversized bomber-style jacket is a great option and would look incredible paired with a mini skirt and long boots.

Cropped Cardigans
Cropped cardigans have recently been catching my eye and I love how they’re warm, comfy and most definitely cute. They are an upgrade from the classic long cardi and will elevate any outfit you style it with.

Crossbody Bags
A crossbody bag is a classic bag style that can really tie your outfit together while also being super practical. We know how frustrating it is when you're trying to get your shoulder bag to stay up while wearing a big jacket or when it just isn’t big enough to fit all of your essentials, so opt for a crossbody bag instead.

Mary Janes
Mary Janes have quickly become the it-girl shoe and they are pretty much a go-to for every outfit. They are super cute and classic shoe and we love seeing them all over the place. With so many different styles, patterns, colours, and embellishments, there’s a pair out there suited for anyone.

Now we know that basics will build the foundation of your outfit, but cool girls love to step it up in a whole bunch of different ways. My favourite method is mixing and matching different aesthetics and pieces, like basketball shorts paired with a cardigan and Mary Janes. We also love seeing patterned accessories like a leopard print handbag. Another fun way to play with your outfits is to wear pieces on the sizing extremes, like oversized jorts or puff sleeves.
Patterned Pants
Patterned pants are a super fun way to change the mood of your outfit. Swap out your regular denim for a pair of leopard print or embellished pants to elevate your style.

Oversized shorts
Jorts and basketball shorts have started making a comeback in a major way this year. It’s so cute seeing a fun pair of those long oversized shorts paired with bows and other super girly pieces. We love seeing more blokecore styles and these oversized shorts are definitely a staple.

Statement Tops
These big collars and puffy sleeves are most definitely a cool girl staple. We love how the big collars and tie fronts make a statement and go with everything. You can pair them with a cute pair of jeans and mary janes for an easy everyday look, but any of these tops will make everyone turn their heads no matter what you wear with them.

Patterned Bags
If you’re not one to step out splashed head to toe in colour, a patterned bag might be all you need to add some edge to your outfit. Easy to pair with anything from an all-black, monochrome look as well as your favourite jeans and a comfy jacket, you can’t go wrong with a patterned bag on any day.
