Inasmuch as everyone has a unique style and approach to fashion, there are universal pieces that every woman should own. They range from the little black dress to everyday accessories.
Fashion is flexible so our essentials are simply a guide to put you on the right track. Don’t be scared to try new things, new colors, and new fabrics.
Here are ten wardrobe essentials for the modern woman.
Perfect pair of jeans
A perfect pair of jeans is like a perfect boyfriend – always there to save you. No woman can deny the comfort of jeans that fit perfectly round their hips. Skinny jeans or flared jeans, find what works for you.
Plain t-shirts
Sometimes, less is more. When you don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard, a great t-shirt is a life saver. So it’s essential to have at least five. Our recommended colors are black, white, blue, yellow, and red.
A black dress
Want to make a statement? Look no further. A knee-length black dress will make you stand out for an evening date or even a boardroom meeting.
White sneakers
Super casual but super chic. A white pair of sneakers paired with blue jeans or a sundress will give you a playful girl-next-door look.
Black blazer
Are you a student or corporate worker? A black blazer is an essential to give your look an edge. You can even pair it with a white tee and your favorite pair of jeans.
Jumpsuit
Jumpsuits have been trendy for a while now, and they still are. A comfy one piece in a bold color can be worn to almost any event without you looking over or under dressed.
Ballet flats and killer heels
Ballet flats offer comfort and simplicity. When you’re going to have a long day involving a lot of up and down, flats will hold you up. Beside your flats in your wardrobe should be a pair of killer heels. Heels aren’t an everyday affair, you whip them out when you want to make a power statement.
Bikini
Every woman needs a bikini. Don’t fret, they come in all shapes and sizes. Be it a one piece or a two piece, pick what you feel comfortable in.
A weekend at the beach or at a pool every now and then is a mini-vacation from work.
Go-to Accessories
An outfit can look incomplete without the right accessories bringing it together.
So make sure to have at least a pair of earrings, a wristwatch, bracelets, a necklace, and hats to always put that icing on your cake.
The perfect everyday bra
An uncomfortable bra can ruin your whole day regardless of what you wear.
So if you don’t have that one bra that fits like a glove and is comfortable enough to sleep in, it’s time to consider bra shopping. It’s advisable to get a bra in a color that matches your skin tone.
You can never have too many clothes, but the above are essentials. Also, when next you rummage through your wardrobe consider giving clothes you no longer wear to the needy.
