Teen Vogue's Twentysomethings Guide is your go-to resource for the more confusing parts of going out on your own.

It’s impossible to make it through your 20s without having to swipe your card for something. Whether it’s for school, work or fun, even a twentysomething living a minimalist lifestlye will need a few essentials.

For our inaugural Twentysomething Guide, we created a seal for more than 100 of our favorite products, including the best mattresses, dorm, kitchen and skincare essentials. There’s also have a list of our must-have capsule wardrobe pieces. Throughout this project, we reached out to top experts (psychologists, dermatologists, celebrity stylists), combed through trending social media videos, read through customer reviews, and asked Teen Vogue editors for their tried-and-true favorites.

We have you covered outside of our sealed product, too. Below are all of the items that have been figured in promotional photos for this package:
