As per the latest findings of the BBC, a fully-functional closet can be built around just 10 items! The same study suggests that a closet works best when it’s made up of 70% classics and staples, i.e. basic, versatile pieces that can be worn on repeat, while 30% of it can be fun or expressive.
That brings us to the question: Ever wondered who the real heroes of our wardrobes are?
It’s not the sequined party tops we wore once, or that “vacation-only” dress we swore we’d style again, but never did. We’re talking about your go-to pieces. The ones you wear on a sleepy Monday morning, or throw on for a last-minute dinner plan. The ones that survive closet clean-outs because you just know you’ll wear them again.
At Reistor, those are the pieces we love designing the most. We call them our year-round heroes; these are stylish, comfortable, classic, versatile, and made to move with you.
You know that weird transitional phase between seasons? When it’s chilly in the morning, warm by noon, and who-knows-what by the evening? That’s where our clothes really shine. Whether you’re easing into spring or soaking up the last warmth of summer, these styles are here for it, and they’ll still be here when fall starts to sneak in.
We make clothes to live in
Before we even sketch a design, we ask ourselves a few questions:
- Will this piece survive a full day of living? Commutes, coffee spills, surprise meetings, lazy brunches, dance floors, grocery runs?
- Can it be styled in a few different ways without needing an entirely new wardrobe?
- Will it still feel relevant next spring… and the spring after that?
If the answer isn’t yes to these questions, those designs usually don’t make the cut!
We’re not here to push fast fashion fads. We’re here to offer you pieces that stay with you, season after season. Whether you're lounging at home, heading to work, meeting friends for brunch, or going on spontaneous road trips, we’ve got styles that are both comfy and stylish, no matter where your day takes you.
The staples that do it all
Let’s break down a few of our best-loved, most-worn styles: the ones you can count on in spring, summer, and all those in-between moments.
-
The Oversized Crop Shirt
Ah, the classic oversized crop shirt, crisp, comfy, and forever useful. We’ve seen you wear it to work paired with sleek pants, worn over your swimsuit at the beach, layered under a sweater in early spring, or left open as a lightweight layer on cooler summer nights.
This piece is made of 100% organic cotton in classic blue and white stripes, in a timeless style that feels as good as it looks. These shirts aren’t stiff or stuffy, they’re relaxed in fit, high on comfort, and always evergreen. Throw one over a bralette and shorts, or layer it over a dress when the temperature dips. You’ll find a dozen ways to make it work. We promise.

The Everyday Dresses
Our bestselling midi dresses, like our Reading Tea Leaves dress in all its warm hues, were designed with the intention to be worn on repeat. They’re made of light and breathable fabrics for summer, but not so flimsy that you can’t wear them when the breeze kicks in. Add a denim jacket or throw on a chunky knit and boots when spring gets moody, it works!
Plus, we keep the colors and prints subtle and classic, so you don’t get bored of them after three wears. Florals, earth tones, clean stripes. Nothing too loud, always just right.

The One-And-Done jumpsuits and rompers:
Let’s be honest. Nothing can beat a good jumpsuit in style, comfort, and elegance, especially the kind that actually fit well, feel like pajamas, and look like you put in effort!
Our bestsellers like The Hemp Noir jumpsuit or the all-time favorite Evening Chai jumpsuit in all its subtle hues have a cult following for a reason. They’re structured enough for a casual workday, relaxed enough for travel, and soft enough to wear while lounging around.
The beauty and convenience of a jumpsuit/romper is that you don’t have to look for a matching top or bottom to go with it. They’re enough by themselves. Just add some cute accessories as per the occasion, a nice bag, and heels or sandals to finish the look. You can also layer it up with a cardigan or a sweater once fall rolls in. These are the pieces that you’re bound to fall in love with, that hold your whole wardrobe together.
There’s more….
These are our most-loved and best-selling pieces, although we have a lot more styles you can browse: solid matching sets, comfy pants, tops, skirts, and a myriad of options to choose from.
However, if you’re just beginning to build a wardrobe full of timeless pieces, we urge you to start with the very basics, like our summer shirts, jumpsuits, and dresses.
Transitional weather? No problem.
Transitional weather can be tricky. You don’t want to overheat, but you also don’t want to shiver through the morning. That’s why we design our collections with layering in mind.
Our silhouettes are easy to throw on, but even easier to layer. A simple cotton midi dress or a hemp matching set turns into a fall-ready look with a long coat and boots. A crop top from summer becomes your spring layering piece under a breezy shirt. Nothing feels too heavy or too flimsy; we aim for just the right in-between.
Our focus is always on classic shapes and neutral colors, so that everything mixes and matches without effort. You could build 10 outfits from 3 pieces and still look fresh every time.
Classics > Trends. Always.
Look, we get it. Trends can be fun. But when it comes to building a wardrobe that really works, classics are where it’s at.
That’s why we lean into clean lines, well-tailored silhouettes, easy fits, and pleasant colors you’ll still love three years from now. We don’t believe in “in-season” and “out-of-season.” We believe in your season, the one where you wear what feels good, whenever you feel like it.
We don’t chase fast fashion timelines. We focus on thoughtful design and timeless pieces you can style and re-style, wear and re-wear, across seasons and stages of life.
Fabric that goes the distance
We also love playing with comfy fabrics and textures. 100% biodegradable organic cotton and hemp that get softer with every wash, or classic linen that stays breathable all through the day. The goal? Low maintenance, high versatility.
Our pieces wouldn’t be year-round staples without the right fabrics. Every fabric we use is chosen for its breathability, durability, and that unbeatable soft-on-skin feeling.
These fabrics adapt. They let your skin breathe in the summer, keep you comfortable when temperatures fluctuate, and hold up beautifully over time. Plus, they’re all made with sustainability in mind. So you’re not just wearing something beautiful, you’re making a conscious choice too.
You wear it best
What we love most is seeing you bring these pieces to life. We’ve seen customers wear the same shirt three ways in one week, style dresses with sneakers, heels, and even hiking boots, and layer their pants with every top under the sun.
It just proves what we’ve always believed: good design doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to work for real people and real lives, and that’s exactly what Reistor is all about.
Changing seasons, steady wardrobe
When seasons shift and trends come and go, it’s nice to have something you can rely on. That’s what our year-round heroes are: clothes that don’t just look good, but feel good. Pieces that work a little harder, last a little longer, and adapt to wherever life (or the weather) takes you.
So if you’re building your forever wardrobe, start with the pieces that will never let you down. The earthy-toned shirt that always fits just right. The comfy solid-colored pants you reach for every time. The chic dress that feels like sunshine, no matter the season.
When in doubt, wear it again. It’s more than just an outfit; it’s a part of your story, and we’re here, always rooting for you!
