As the styles change, some articles of clothing remain timeless. Women need certain staples in their wardrobes that they can throw on no matter what season it is. NAWRB has created a list of the six staples every woman needs in her closet.
- Flats
Many of us love our heels, but there comes a time when we need to give our feet a rest; a beautiful flat can do just that. Not only are flats comfortable, they’re versatile. You can dress them up for work with some slacks or a skirt, and dress them down on weekends with a great dark-washed denim jean.
- Blazer
A blazer is a classic article of clothing that seems to transcend the decades. We wear them for work, to dinners, and can put them over a dress or pair it with a regular tee-shirt and jeans. Take it up a notch: invest in a blazer with a colored or printed lining. This can add more personality to your wardrobe and is perfect for sprucing up business attire for after-work drinks. All you need to do is cuff your sleeves three to four times to add a pop of playful color.
- Black Trousers
Black trousers are another piece of clothing that won’t ever go out of style. Getting some with scuba material—a textured stretch material—will be forgiving for those days where nothing seems to fit.
- Wedges
Do you want the added height of heels without the discomfort of stilettos? Wedges are a great compromise. Not only are they attractive, but they offer more stability than a thin heel.
- Statement Necklace
A beautiful bold necklace can transform any outfit into a more dressed up one. Want to elevate an everyday work outfit but have little time? Wear a statement necklace and you’ll look like you spent an hour getting ready. You can tailor your statement necklace to your personality as well. Are you super girly? Why not invest in one with bows and lace fabric? Bonus: you will feel more confident when your jewelry represents who you are.
- Camisole
We don’t know how any woman would get around without a basic camisole. Not only are they versatile but they are necessary under a variety of clothing: tops that are too sheer, too low, or under your basic cardigan. Having a camisole in your closet helps to ensure that you’re always prepared.
