If you find you often face your closet thinking ‘I have nothing to wear’, perhaps it’s time for a wardrobe update? To stop those moments of outfit picking despair, make sure you’ve got a well-balanced collection of clothes with a few essential fashion items that will help you look chic in many different situations! Here’s a look at 5 wardrobe staples that every woman should own:
Jeans
Finding a great pair of jeans can be time consuming, and costly, but spending more to get the perfect fit is definitely worth doing. Jeans are an extremely versatile addition to any wardrobe and can be used to compile both smart and casual looks. There are many different cuts to choose from too, so you needn’t limited yourself to one pair; pick from boot cut, straight leg and skinny jeans (to name a few of the most common styles). Not sure how to wear jeans with style? Try a plain white tee, a colored blazer and patent heels or team with a feminine blouse and sweet ballet pumps.
Fitted Blazer
Forget formal suit jackets, if you want to look smart yet stylish a fitted blazer jacket is a must-buy. Choose a blazer cut that suits your body shape; for those with an hour glass figure choose a cropped blazer which will stop just above the hips and show off your fabulous curves, for an apple shape a stretchy blazer will be most comfortable and dark shade will help slim and elongate. If you’re slim, you have the only body type that will really work the oversized boyfriend style blazers, whilst pear shape ladies will look best in long blazers with detailed shoulders.
Trench Coat
The trench coat is a classic outerwear design, made famous by both Audrey Hepburn (in Breakfast at Tiffany’s) and the iconic designs of Burberry. Trench coats have a military background, and for that reason are designed with practicality and durability in mind. The only time a trench coat doesn’t really work is when wearing a maxi dress, the longer length just won’t sit right beneath the midi length coat. Not sure how to work this item? How about teaming a wraparound knee length blue dress with brown brogues, and a black piped cream Trench.
Denim Jacket
Another stand out jacket design is the denim jacket. A celeb favorite, denim jackets have been a reoccurring item in pop culture and fashion trends for decades. A denim jacket will look just as effective team with black leather trousers and a t-shirt as it will a girly floral tea dress; add a touch of ‘cool’ to any outfit.
Little Black Dress
Finally, don’t forget to check your wardrobe for a LBD, an essential frock that might come in handy for both day and evening events. The Little Black Dress was brought to public attention by _ in _ and ever since it’s been a must-own for women across the globe; examples of the LBD include a sexy bodycon midi, fringed black flapper dress or simple black mini dress.
