Every end of the season, I go through my closet and do some inventory. This is the time when I put out the must-have pieces for the next season and examine each of my latest acquisations whether or not they go at the reserve door or they join the versatile group. The versatile pieces are anything that could be reworked all year round, for layering or for center-piece.
This week at Banana Republic they feature five key pieces that are multi-functional, for work or play. I´m always interested with clothes that can be worn many times in several ways, so if you haven´t seen them at the shop yet, here are the five must-have wardrobe essentials you must be digging right now.
