What’s Basic To You?
At the Bento studio, whilst everyone else is thinking of Christmas 2011, we already have our heads in Christmas 2012. Why? Well… our next collection will be in stores by then. In designing this collection, I’ve looked back to the original Bento style philosophy – luxury basics – and worked from there.
This plan got me thinking however… what constitutes a wardrobe basic? To be fair, it’s definitely different for everyone. That said, I’d like to think that we all have some level of ‘staples’ in our wardrobe across all sorts of styles. Denim. Beautiful tees. Silk shirts.
What are your basics? Please share… now’s your time to have your input!





- Black tank (I have 3 of these in constant rotation!)
- Black jersey pencil skirt
- Black singlet dress
- Jeans
- White shorts
Wow, sounds like I have a completely monochromatic wardrobe.. but I use those to mix and match with lots of coloured silk tops and dresses. Great for sheer fabrics.
