What pieces do you really need? Is it a little black dress? Or a classic black pump? Clinton is here to demystify every woman's must haves.
The Little Black or Colored Dress
Every woman should have a well-fitting little dress in her closet. It doesn't need to be black but it should look professional enough for work with a jacket and fun enough for dinner without a jacket. It should come just above the knee.
A Simple Cardigan
This sweater is an absolute necessity for woman. This sweater is always chic, relaxed and refined. It's good for women who don't want to show their upper arms.
A Classic Pump
A pump doesn't need to be black but it is should be in a neutral color like nude, beige or gray. A nude colored heel elongates the leg because it matched your skin color and it dresses up skirts, dresses and even jeans.
Dark Wash Jeans
The dark wash trouser jean looks fantastic on every body type. When picking out a pair the most important thing to remember is to find a good fit. Try find a pair that rests an inch below the belly button. They should hang from the widest part of the hip to straight to the ground. Finally, hem them so the legs are about a quarter of an inch off the ground.
Trench Coat
Every woman should have a trench coat in their closet. It's the perfect coat for the spring and fall and it can be worn at work, on the weekends, day and night. The options are limitless.
Plus, it looks great on all body types. It is a structured and timeless piece but it still gives you a waist. Wear it over dresses, skirts or even jeans.
