Timeless Staples for Women’s’ Wardrobes

 The most common tip when it comes to clothes shopping is to base your wardrobe on classic foundation pieces. You can then add trendier items as each season comes and goes. Unfortunately, while this is excellent advice, it’s not always clear what these base elements are.

Dark Wash Jeans

 Jeans are a staple for everyone’s wardrobe, and the bulk of your budget for these should be spent on a dark wash. You can wear these to lunch with friends or throw a pretty top and snazzy heels into the equation if you’re going to a party.

High-raise straight jeans are great for apple shapes, pears look fabulous in boot-cuts, and skinny jeans are perfect for slender bodies.

Black Pumps

 Flip-flops, loafers, sneakers, and heels all have their place, but you’ll get the most bang for your buck with a quality pair of basic black pumps. They go with everything, creating a more casual look with jeans for a date night or the missing item in a put-together outfit for the office, and will not only extend your wardrobe but last a long time as well.

And if you spot the perfect pair and are wondering how you’ll pay for them, why not register to play online and put aside a portion of your winnings until you’ve got enough? Splurge on this item if you have to, focussing on quality rather than brand, and remember that repairing your shoes is always an option.

Pencil Skirt

 Even if you purchase just one skirt for the rest of your life, make sure it’s a pencil shape and you’ll be right as rain. It’s the most universally classic, flattering silhouette and looks wonderful on just about everyone.

The higher rise and length that skims the knee ensures they’re appropriate for work and play and you can mix and match yours with different shoes, blouses, sweaters, and jackets to create the look you want.

 Riding Boots

 Ankle-length, below the ankle, stiletto boots, cowboy boots, and Oxfords. The seasons come and go and so do the many styles of boot! While it’s absolutely fine to indulge in a cheap, trendy pair every now and then, do allocate some of your budget to a high-quality pair of sleek leather riding boots.

The classic knee-length, no-heel boot originated with the equestrian set but these days they’re great for everyday wear and will see you through many a changing trend. They suit dresses, pants, and skirts alike, and, because there’s no heel, they’re a sensible choice for everyday wear as well.

A Tailored Button-Up

 Button-up shirts can be difficult, especially if you’re got a big bust. But, when they’ve been properly tailored, almost nothing looks as good as this classic when it’s paired with the right pants or skirt!

Button-ups are also fabulous as layering pieces and look great worn under sweaters, so they’ll vastly increase your wardrobe options over all. The trick is to get yours to fit properly, as they can look slapdash if they don’t. Buy a style you like and then get it tailored to suit your body shape perfectly, so you’ll always feel comfortable.
