There are a few items that should feature in every woman’s closet. These items are great because they never go out of style and hence will feature in your wardrobe for years to come.

1. A pair of fitting jeans

Every woman needs those jeans that fit just right. They’re not baggy or ill-fitting especially in the crotch area or length wise, neither are they too tight, making them look borrowed… Well-fitting jeans are comfortable and accentuate your figure in all the right places. Get a pair in blue or black. Those never go out of style.

2. A little black dress

The little black dress has been somewhat abused to only mean something that is of a ‘naughty nature.’ For the conservative, you can have a little black dress that’s still decent. The dress should however, be just below the knee or just above it to be still classified as ‘little.’ Get something with lace. Lace is in now and is one of those trends that never really goes out of fashion.

3. A trench coat/Dressy jacket/Blazer

You need a trench coat in your life. Thrown over a dress, skirt and shirt or even jeans and a tee, the trench just works. It can transform an otherwise dull look to a sophisticated one and well, also keeps you warm when it’s cold out. A dressy jacket or a blazer also works but I prefer a trench coat. For colours, I love black but you can also do red, navy blue, beige and grey. They all still work well with most outfits.

4. A pair of black heels

You can never go wrong with a pair of black heels. What more is there to say? They go with everything and give a feminine touch to every outfit. If you’re like me and are not a regular heel wearer, it’s a good idea to have one in your closet that you can pull out when needed.

5. A black suit

There’s that time in a woman’s life when she has to make a pitch to an important client or presentation at work to the boss and such a time requires that one look like they mean business. I don’t work a 9-5 job so a suit isn’t something that would feature in my closet. However, it’s important that at least one feature. Whether it’s a skirt suit or a pant suit, make sure it’s tailored to perfection. Black works best in my opinion. Pair the suit with a crisp white shirt. You’ll look professional as well as stylish.
