Essential staples!

What are the three essential staples of a stylish wardrobe?

This seems to be the million dollar question for most women.We tend to think in terms of categories because it helps us concentrate and knowing what we should invest on helps us get more organised and,therefore,efficient.

So,what are the most important pieces of clothing that any stylish woman should own?

A lot has been said and written about this issue.Fashion editors tend to come up with lists of ten items but I would like to concentrate on just three that appear on all lists and which my favourite Garance has repeatedly talked about.

So,here it is:

1.The perfect white shirt.

If you find it make sure you buy more than one!A white shirt can be worn on any occasion,at any time,by anyone and guarantees an absolutely amazing look, since it serves as the perfect canvas that would highlight your face!

2.The perfect pair of black pumps!

 As with the white shirt these shoes can be worn on a great number of occasions and, provided they fit well and are comfortable enough, they always make us look our best.In fact,they can improve our posture and make us look taller,thinner and more toned!(need I say more?)

3.A great coat! 

I have already talked about the importance of  a good cover up      (see also http://antapal.blogspot.gr/2013/07/the-jacket.html ).We tend to think about what to wear in terms of the dress/skirt/pants etc and neglect the issue of our cover up.However,it is absolutely vital to think about this as it may be our whole look when the weather dictates it!As such, it is absolutely worth  investing in the perfect one and because fashions change(maybe too often) I wouldn't need to stress the importance of a classic really timeless one!

So these are what I find as, probably, the most important pieces of clothing that any stylish woman should own.Of course, there are more ,but if you need to think about where to start from,or what to actually invest on, I believe these three are the staples of any elegant wardrobe.


I  look forward to hearing from you:-)

Have a nice and stylish day!!!
