The LBD, or "Little Black Dress" for those who don't know the lingo, is a must-have in your wardrobe. You can style them up for a more formal event or go chill by pairing it with a pair of sneakers. The LBD is safe, timeless and makes you look slimmer. Pick a LBD that accentuates your figure and you will always have a back-up plan for days you don't know what to wear.

#2 White T-Shirt

You will never go wrong with a white t-shirt in your wardrobe. They are perfect pieces for layering such as under a strap dress or wearing it on its own by pairing it with a pair of jeans. Choose a t-shirt with a cut that accentuates your figure and choose one that is more fitting than loose for a refined look.

#3 Jeans

Although jeans style come and go, basic jeans will never go out of style. If you want a pair of jeans that will last you through a couple of years, we suggest that you get one that is more tight-fitting. Choose fitted jeans in colours that are more neutral and muted such as black or dark blue as they are timeless and match well with literally any top!

#4 Basic Cardigan
