There is a certain number of staple clothing items of that no woman should be without. Here we take a look at what classic items build the foundations of a great wardrobe.

Classic white shirt

• A shirt, but not just any old shirt, a great fitting crisp shirt that can be worn with anything from jeans to suits.
• Perfect fit jeans, good fitting jeans can often be one of the most difficult things to find. They’re either too long, too short or just don’t fit right. But a pair of well fitting jeans (or two) are an absolute essential. Go for a slight boot cut in a dark wash for a flattering fit and to balance out a top heavy frame.
• A tailored suit. Suits can be used for so many occasions and these days they are much more feminine than the power dressing days of the eighties (even if shoulder pads are back in fashion)! For those of you that like the individual look go for a suit with quirky tailored lines and more unusual detailing.
• The LBD (aka the little black dress). This is a must in any wardrobe. Your own perfect LBD should always be super sexy, super glam and super comfortable so that when that special occasion comes round you will know exactly what to wear!
• Cashmere is a must, especially this time of year. When the weather is cold outside, there’s nothing better than snuggling up a pure cashmere cardigan. But don’t skimp out on the price, with cashmere you do get what you pay for so make this one an investment buy.Every t-shirt style tops
• Plain white tee, t-shirts tops are great basic items to create a more casual look, as well as being versatile. But don’t stop at white, try different colours and patterns to give different effects and to add a punch of colour to an outfit. They’re also great for carrying off the layered look.
• A WOW dress. A wow dress does exactly what it says, makes people’s mouths drop in awe when you enter the room wearing it! A wow dress can be as glamorous as you want, a colourful, embellished, floor length gown would do the trick. But whatever style the dress is, it must do one thing; make you feel a million dollars. And not a cent less.

This may seem like a lot of shopping if you don’t already have some of these classic wardrobe staples. But don’t worry, you don’t have to buy them all in one go (unless of course you want to!). These are items that will stand the test of time and an investment wardrobe will take time to build up too but trust us, it will be well worth it!
