As a stylist and wardrobe planner the question I probably have to answer the most is:
"Which items would you recommend as the "wardrobe basics"?'
After hours of research and using my own fashion-savvy-sense I've compiled the INVESTMENT LIST for my clients.
The items on this list are not only the must-haves in your wardrobe, but they are also the pieces in which you invest a little more money (to ensure that they are of great quality and will last) and a little more time to find.
So here goes, THE INVESTMENT LIST:
1. A GOOD WINTER COAT
2. A TRENCH COAT
3. A SHORT BLAZER/ JACKET
4. A PAIR OF BLACK SLIM PANTS
5. A PAIR OF CLASSIC CUT PANTS (not black)
6. A PAIR OF GOOD JEANS
7. A WHITE BUTTON SHIRT
8. A LITTLE BLACK DRESS
9. A VARIETY OF CAMISOLES, TEES AND VESTS (in all the basic colours, in a style that suits your body shape)
10. A PAIR OF QUALITY SUNGLASSES (to suit your facial shape and natural colouring & hairstyle)
11. A GENUINE LEATHER HANDBAG
12. A CLASSIC CLUTCH
13. A PAIR OF KNEE-HIGH BOOTS
14. A PAIR OF PUMPS
15. A PAIR OF GORGEOUS, ALL ROUNDER HEELS (preferable black/ tan)
Each item on this list has been put there for a very good reason. When I address a group of women at events I attend as a guest speaker, they are always extremely impressed by how they are able to achieve a great number of different looks (day to evening, casual to smart to formal), ALL by ONLY using the above mentioned items (or some of these items).
The most important factors to keep in mind when going out to purchase your Investment Pieces are
A. FIT (clothes should fit you properly) and
B. STYLE (the style should compliment the features of your body that you want to enhance whilst at the same time help you camouflage those feature which you feel are not your best).
