5 Wardrobe Staples for any lady

I think that every woman should own the basic wardrobe staples that can be thrown on in the mornings and look instantly chic. These staples should be well fitting and be classic enough to last you a couple of years. I tend to splurge on items which I think can give me alot of wear eg, neutral coats and shoes and then go to high street stores for things that are currently "in".
Here are my top 5 wardrobe staples:
  1. LBD- Yes, the Little Black Dress. Well you knew that it would be on here didn't you? The perfect dress should be able to take you from day to night by just changing a few accesories so choose something that is a good fit (but not too tight), short (but not too short) and stylish to be in all year round.
  2. The Trench Coat- This should be a neutral colour such as sand, camel or grey and end up on your knee or just above it. A flattering coat should have a belt to tie in the waist and have buttons similar colour to the coat.
  3. Black Heels- Every woman probably already has one of these in these wardrobe. They should have a medium heel with possibly a simple embelishment at the front. The perfect black heels can be worn at work, party and every other occasion.
  4. A white shirt- Often the most simplest of things look the best. It looks great with almost everything from jeans to pencil skirts and they're so cheap that there really isn't an excuse for anyone not to have one.
  5. A classic black bag- They should be of a medium size and make Jackie. O proud. Chanel do the best classic handbags that I know of and that quilted look will always be in style. But if like most of us and you don't have that kind of budget then H&M also do darling black bags for all of us
