Styling Women: Wardrobes and Essentials

By Uloop Guest Writer on August 26, 2015

Trends come and go all the time in the fashion industry, but there are quite a few “timeless” wardrobe items that have really stood up to the test of time.

If you’re looking for some must-have items to put in your wardrobe, there are a few that no woman should be without. These wardrobe items are versatile enough to be dressed up or dressed down for just about any occasion.

A “Little Black Dress” 

We’ve all heard of the “little black dress,” but do you have one in your wardrobe? Ideally, a little black dress (LBD) should be elegant and sophisticated, with enough versatility to be worn with a blazer in an office setting or with high heels and shimmery accessories for a night out on the town.

Whichever LBD you choose, just make sure it has timeless style and makes you feel amazing.

A Fav Pair of Jeans

Another important piece to have in your wardrobe is a pair of comfortable jeans in a classic wash that won’t go out of style. A dark wash, such as a deep blue or even black, can be a great choice here. Try to stay away from “trendy” styles like ripped jeans and acid wash.

A classic pair of jeans can be great when paired with a dressier blouse or a casual t-shirt. Two great styles to consider include skinny fit and boot cut.

A Well-Stocked Makeup Bag

Of course, clothes only go so far when it comes to looking and feeling your best. A well-stocked makeup bag is also a must for pulling that look together.

Makeup essentials should include a quality foundation that matches your skin tone, concealer, blush, eyeliner, mascara, and a great eyelash curler. All of these items can be used to achieve the perfect look for any occasion, such as a natural look for the office or a seductive, smoky eye for a night out.

These essentials, along with some fine-tuned makeup application skills, will help you exude confidence wherever you go.

Black Dress Pants

Dress pants are another must for any woman’s wardrobe; a pair of classic black dress pants is perfect for pulling off a more professional look. In fact, a great pair of black trousers can pair well with just about any shirt or blouse you might find in your closet.

Plus, black is a flattering and slimming color on just about everybody! Just make sure to choose a fit that’s flattering on your body type; boot cut or a slight flare are two great options—especially for a workplace setting.

A White Button-Up

There’s so much that you can do with a white button-up; the possibilities are nearly endless. For instance, a white button-up (preferably long-sleeved) can be worn on its own or even layered with a blazer or suit jacket for a more professional appearance.

If you’re going to add a white button-up to your wardrobe, it’s recommended that you choose cotton over polyester or silk (cotton will last longer). Furthermore, if you plan on wearing the button-up on its own without layering, be sure to opt for a fitted style.

A Great Blazer

Finally, a simple black blazer can go a long way when it comes to putting together some great styles in your wardrobe. For work, wear a blazer over a button-up shirt and with a pencil skirt for a professional look. Pair it with jeans and a blouse for a more casual look that’s ideal for running errands or grabbing a cup of coffee with a friend. For a night out on the town, a blazer can even be worn over a dress to keep you warm and comfortable while still looking your best.

While shopping for a black blazer, be sure to keep it simple. Find one that fits your body well, and stay away from flashy sequins or other adornments that may go out of style in the near future.

There you have it: a simple list of five must-haves for your stylish wardrobe. If you’re missing any of these items, now would be a great time to add them to your list and find an excuse to do some shopping!

From there, you can always be able to put together a great outfit—even when you’re in a pinch—with these excellent must-have women’s wardrobe staples.
