**Sorry, I had to take the picture down because for some reason they wouldn't show up, But hopefull everyone gets the point :) email me with any questions**

Season after season, trend after trend, there is nothing better than having those basic, timeless essentials you can go back to and wear as is, or spruce them up!

There is always a variation on what everyone thinks should be in everyone’s wardrobe but we will discuss the top 5 that are pretty universal and universally, you need to have.

 

LITTLE BLACK DRESS AND THE BLACK TUX           

First, lets start with that little black dress for the ladies and the black tux or suit for men.  These are so basic and timeless and there is no reason you shouldn’t have them.  Ladies, no matter the budget, you can always find a great little black dress that will look great on you and that you can go back to time after time.  There are so many different styles and silhouettes of the black dress your options are endless.  Make sure that the dress is great quality; finding a dress for 20 bucks is great, but sometimes you have to wonder, why is it 20 bucks? So, always make sure it is a great dress that will last you a long time. Fellas, a tux or suit might be a little more expensive than that little black dress, but every once in a while you can find a great steal.  This is important to have especially if you attend many business parties or dinners and don’t have the time to shop or don’t like to shop.  Oh, and one more thing, make best friends with a tailor. They will be able to make that suit off the rack look like the designer made it just for you.

 WHITE SHIRTS

          Next on the list for men and women is a white shirt; both a t-shirt and a dress shirt.  A crisp white dress shirt goes with anything from a skirt to jeans, to dress pants and shorts.  It is a great basic to have and always easy to throw on if you are in a hurry and need to look your best.  Now, a t-shirt, yes a plain cotton or polyester t-shirt for men and women is needed.  This is something great to act as a creative base to your wardrobe.  You can throw a blazer or sweater over it, or for the ladies you can wear it alone and pile tons of chunky necklaces on.  These are definitely two essentials to have to look effortlessly stylish.

 

                                       

                                                                    BLAZERS
            

A blazer is the next essential that should be in your wardrobe.  For men and women you can wear and blazer with anything these days: dress pants, shorts, jeans, skirts, and dresses.  Black is a basic color that goes with everything, so I recommend that as well as another neutral such as beige or grey to switch it up a bit. Also, why not add a little color? I have a great neon pink and orange blazer that I pair with my denim all the time.  It something different and you will stand out and be sure to keep the compliments rolling in.

                                                                   DRESS PANT

 Dress pants are something you can wear from the office to a night out and even to church on Sunday.  Black is a must have because again, they go with everything, but I also recommend another color of your choice whether it be brown or white, navy or cream, they all will match something in your wardrobe and always look timeless.

 LONG COATS

Last, but not least, a long coat. For men and women both this is something that will always look fabulous over whatever you have on.  And some people will only see the outer part anyway, so if your style is not so much up to par one day, throw that on, tie it up and your already looking fabulous!

Also, one last tip for always looking fabulous and thrown together in a hurry in a pair of great sunglasses.  For men, I love the Ray Ban style or aviators.  For women, anything that flatters your face shape is great the bigger you can handle the better!
