TOP 10 Wardrobe Essentials

Adding any one of these 10 versatile closet all-stars will take your outfit to new heights of fabulousness. From a white tuxedo jacket to statement heels, these are pieces you'll want to help you stand out these season.

The White Tuxedo Jacket stands out in a sea of traditionally neutral blazers (you've already got navy or black), and unlike its more predictable cousins, a white jacket can be fancy (lightly tossed over the shoulders of an evening gown) as easily as it can go casual—with jeans and a T!

There's hardly an ensemble that can't be upgraded by the addition of this exciting embellished jacket—a silhouette that looks good on every figure. Pair it with capri pants, coloured skinny jeans, a striped mini, or even your favourite LBD

The Studded Flats: If you have a glamorous event and your feet are begging for a break from stilettos, slip into some decorated flats like the ones shown here. This contrast of edgy and feminine suits cocktail dresses, plus flirty skirts and dark trousers. They would transform practically any outfit whilst keeping you comfortable.

Make your outfit interesting from the front and back with eye-catching heels. This vivid design allows you to color-block with clothing in everything from silver or white to cobalt, orange, or

yellow.

 When so many options for your bottom half are solid basics, kicky printed pleats are unexpected. With this drop-waist silhouette, you don't need to worry that you'll be adding volume to your middle. Try it on with a T or tank in white, gray, or black, and finish with a denim jacket.

Punch up your office wear or faded denim with this snappy classic Polka Dot Blouse. Reveal a little (top it with a crewneck sweater so only your collar shows) or a lot—untucked and flowy over white jeans or a solid navy or gray skirt.

Instead of a necklace, try a soft loop of bright fabric to perk up a mundane outfit instantly. It's a fun and simple way to mix prints. Wrap it once or twice around your neck, letting both ends hang loose, it gives a WOW effect.

 

 

Decorating your wrist with one of these clean, modern shapes elevates your total look. Make a splash with clothes that have short or ¾-length sleeves—or clasp it over a long-sleeve blouse.

 

 

Not as over-the-top as last season's versions, this new incarnation combines darkened metal with glitz and a bit of colour for results that don't seem wildly out of place during office hours.

 

 

A sleek, colorful purse will complement neutrals, brights, or pastels. Just don't match it with clothing in the exact same shade. (Go for versatility: The Givenchy Antigona is classy and converts to a clutch!)
