Whether you’re dressing for work, going to interviews, or simply want to look polished when you go out for a nice dinner, an elegant white button-down should be your go-to piece. As you’ll want your white dress shirt to hold its shape through many wash cycles and not even be the slightest bit translucent, don’t be afraid to invest a bit more in this classic item. After all, you’re going to get a lot of use from a piece like this, as it looks fantastic in the most rigid professional dress code, but still looks amazing and feels comfortable in casual, everyday functions.


A Basic Top

Whether they’re layered under jackets, paired with simple jeans or used as base pieces to tone down some statement extras, wearing basic tops are a staple part of almost any outfit. Paired with a blazer, cardigan, skirt, trousers, or even a dress, a basic top could be worn in a million ways. If you can find a good women’s online clothing boutique and stock up on some quality basic tops, you will have the ultimate versatile pieces that will serve you for years to come.


The Perfect Black Blazer


Blazers are amazing pieces because there are so many varieties you could choose from. Although both shrunken and oversized styles are trendy right now, before you purchase either of those, make sure you have a 
classic black blazer in your closet that fits you perfectly. The sleeves should hit right at your wrists and the shoulders should have enough room to layer underneath, while the front should be fitted, but not pull out around your chest.


A Long Trench Coat

 

Is there anything more beautiful, chic and demure than a classic trench coat paired with your trusty LBD, black pumps and a bright red lipstick? Whether you’re wearing it buttoned up and tied or opened and loose, a classic trench coat always looks amazing. Just look for styles that hit below your knee and are cut loose through the sleeves and shoulders, so you’ll be able to layer pieces underneath, and you could wear this timeless coat on any occasion, from casual to formal functions.


A Little Black Dress

Every women’s magazine and fashion blogger was right – having a trusty LBD in your closet is a crucial step in creating a classic and timeless wardrobe. If you don’t already own one, look for classic knee-length sleeveless styles, similar to ones you could picture Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O wearing. Make sure the dress is not too short and doesn’t show too much cleavage, for the ultimate timeless item.


Black Dress Pants


While you may not see a use for this item immediately, a pair of black dress pants is a timeless piece you could wear to almost any occasion imaginable. Whether paired with a simple t-shirt and white sneakers for an extremely chic casual look or worn with a white dress shirt and black pumps for the perfect work outfit, stylish and classic dress pants are extremely versatile and should be an unavoidable part of your timeless wardrobe.


A Pair of Black Pumps


No woman in the world should go without a pair of wearable, classic and simple
black heels in her closet. From weddings and nights out to first dates and first jobs, a timeless pair of pumps will always be there for you. The key to looking chic and elegant is staying poised, and that’s almost impossible to achieve when your feet are killing you, so make sure to find a comfortable pair you could spend the whole day in. Make sure the toe isn’t too rounded or too pointy – just look for basic styles and you will have a trusty pair of shoes you could wear for years to come.


If you have a closet full of classic basic pieces you invest in and take proper care of, you will have a functional wardrobe that will never go out of style.
