"I can't find anything to wear!" We've all been there. Our wardrobes generally consist of various items bought because they were trendy, we liked the color or they were just really on sale. But all of these pieces do not a fashionista's wardrobe make. Actually, there are a few rules that if followed will create a wardrobe that is trendy and practical (versus having tons of clothes in the closet that we never wear). Today I present to you the essential items every woman should include in her wardrobe:
1. Black Dress: I know, this one is a given, but it remains true. This timeless classic is perfect for almost any occasion and looks flattering on any shape; can we really ask any more out of one dress?
2. Dress Pants: When you find a pair that fits your shape perfectly they can be one of the most flattering pieces in your closet. Also, keep in mind that black will be the most figure friendly color and go with most anything.
3. Skirts: If you need dress pants, you need skirts! Skirts can be business professional or fun and flirty! Need I say more?
4. Day Dress: Who says dressing up is only for night time? This classic look is making a comeback! Paired with the right accessories, this look can transition from business to fun with no effort!
5. Jeans: This item is all about the fit. Every woman has jeans, but how many of us have properly fitting jeans? Find the best jeans for your shape and you will look anything but casual.
6. Classic Shirt: OK ladies, these do not have to feel like we are wearing our man's clothes. Try a classic white shirt and pick a fit appropriate for your shape to accentuate your great figure and minimize your problem spots. (For example, if you have wide shoulders stay away from large collars)
7. Any Occasion Top: This item is perfect to wear under a blazer for a professional look but lose the blazer and you're ready for fun!
8. Trench Coat: This is a great way to accentuate your waist, and have fun with great patterns and details. I know it's summer, but the fall will come again and now you can be prepared.
9. Jacket: I love this item and this is what takes up most of the room in my closet. Find a feminine fit that shows off your waist and you will turn heads. A great jacket can be at home in the office or paired with skinny jeans, heels and a great top for a glamorous yet casual look.
10. Sweatsuit Alternative: I know nothing is more comfortable than a sweatsuit. But we need to break the habit; on certain days at least. Try getting some khakis, cords or a cotton dress for the same comfort value but a better look.
Most of these items are classic but don't worry about them going out of style. As long as they are a great fit for your figure you can wear any of these items for years to come.
