Key Wardrobe Pieces- Staples Explained!

I thought I would collate a list of the key items we should have in our wardrobe. I was talking to a girlfriend over my soya latte the other day and it cropped up that she didn't own a denim jacket or have a plain white shirt! You can imagine my immediate interrogation! ' Do you have this? this? that? no? whatttt!!!!'

So here are the staple items every woman should have in their collection. It's a great way of filtering out all the clothes you don't wear and it can really help when choosing an outfit, or trying to add to it or make it look better. They are our 'go to's' if you like, our trusted 'I will always look good in this, no doubt' pieces.

Keep in mind these items are long lasting, classic, must haves, so investing a little more time and money over the quality is essential! They aren't items that will go out of fashion and so will last forever!

Clothing
  • Denim jacket
  • Leather jacket
  • LBD
  • Best pair of skinny jeans- your fave choice on the cut of the leg though!
  • Crisp white shirt, can be embellished but stick to medium cuffs and simple buttons and collar
  • Plain scoop neck white cotton t-shirt. For bigger busted ladies you can opt for a v-neck!
  • Floral maxi
  • Fitted suit - preferably hand tailored. A strong smart jacket with either a pencil skirt or straight leg trousers
  • Club/ Take me out dancing frock
  • Cashmere jumper
  • Big knit cardigan, two sizes too big
  • A decent, soft and over-sized hoody and tracky bums
  • Underwear...comfort, 'help me squeeze me in' and finally 'for your lover'.
Shoes & Accessories
  • A 'phat' large, waist belt
  • Ballet pumps - classic black or go wild with a bow on the toe!
  • Small shiny clutch
  • Over-sized leather bag
  • 'They hurt my feet after a few hours' high heels, but they're exquisite and go with everything!
  • Sloppy shoes- flip flops, birkins or suede loafers
  • Knee high or over-the-knee leather or suede boots

The rest is how we add pieces and style ourselves to create that individuality. Pop on your tracky bums with a white t-shirt and add your leather jacket and flip flops - you're already in dress-down mode but still look effortlessly chic and comfortable! Throw on your skinny jeans, white shirt and heels and you have a casual sexy look. Don't forget your push up bra, silver chunky bracelet and big earrings for that extra va-va-voom!

I'll be letting you know where to find the best of these key pieces soon, so watch this space ladies!

Warmest Swishes,
B
