10 Wardrobe Essentials We Couldn't Live Without
No matter how much fashion changes, there will always exist those classic pieces that survive over the years and keep making themselves present each season.
These are the 10 basic pieces that cannot be excluded from your wardrobe, as they are key elements that combine with everything, helping you create multiple outfits.
White shirt: Combines with everything, it can be adjusted or loose, long-sleeved or short. They are perfect for work, formal events and even for grabbing drinks at night in a bar if you add the right accessories, high shoes and a miniskirt.
Jeans: Find the one that best fit your body: boot-cut, skinny or wide-leg; every girl has a pair of jeans that fits perfectly her body type, so once you find that particular one, do not let it go! Stay with that style.
Pencil skirt: Ideal for highlighting the curves. They are an excellent choice to wear at work or social events. Look for them preferably in neutral colors so you can combine it with more tops and blouses.
Black trousers: We all need a good pair of tailored pants in our closet. It doesn’t have to be necessarily black, but it will be the best option since it will go will anything, plus it helps that the color is slimming to every body type.
The Little Black Dress: Coco Chanel created it in 1926, and later, Audrey Hepburn immortalized it in the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961), making it an icon. This dress will get you out of trouble at any time; you just need to style it up with different accessories and shoes every time you wear it.
Day dress: Give those legs a chance to breathe a bit once in a while and release them from those tight skinny jeans. Sundresses can be an excellent choice when having breakfast and lunch with friends or other semi-formal events. Keep in mind that "A-line” dresses are flattering on all body types.
Blazer: They can turn a casual outfit into a formal one in a second. Find one that best fits your body, preferably reaching the hip height so that they create a balance among your proportions.
Evening gown: There will always be weddings, proms or gala parties that require a long dress to wear, so do invest in one that can be worn more than once without people noticing. Choose one in black or other neutral color and focus on the accessories, makeup and hair every time you wear it; change those often and the dress will look like an entirely different one.
Trench coat: The classic khaki colored trench coat matches any outfit; during day or night. This is an excellent element to keep by our sides.
Black pumps: Even if you are a woman who is always in flats or sneakers, a good pair of heels will always be your ally for that formal event or night out with friends. Every woman should own a black pair of pumps; they’ll go with any outfit.
