It doesn’t matter your age, your profession, or how much money you have to invest in clothes. These ten items are easy to get, accessible and the best of all is that you can use them in many different ways without looking like you always dress the same.
Fashion: 10 tips for putting together looks
The White shirt: It’s number one in your closet. There is no type of garment or event where you cannot use it. It looks good for a formal, work, party or casual look depending on what you combine it with. Do you have a party? Wear it with a long silk skirt or palazzo pants in a bright color and a shiny fabric like silk and you will be very chic. A work meeting? With classic beige or black dress pants you will have guaranteed formality. A casual date? A classic cut jean and leather shoes. Vacation? A short or short skirt and an open shirt with a top underneath will give you a very relaxed look.
Black dress pants: essential for any occasion. The cut will depend on your style, but the more classic the better. It is a garment that, if you can invest, will last you a long time and will get you out of any trouble. Today it is worn with high shoes, urban sneakers or sports shoes and it looks great
Jean: Denim pants that fit comfortably and style you are a must. I suggest you have a classic one, if possible without tears, embroidery or prints that you can wear with everything.
Blazer: A tailored jacket is not only in trend but will also give you an elegant touch to any outfit. Whether you wear it with jeans and a white T-shirt, or dress pants and a shirt, the blazer in a neutral tone such as camel, tan or black gives you a touch of elegance.
White tshirt: The classic white cotton t-shirt also gives you thousands of options as the shirt. You can choose the design and neckline that best suits you, but you can’t miss a classic round neck or V-neckline. You can wear it for a formal event by combining it with clothing and shoes, or jeans and sneakers. If you can have several, much better. It is important to wash them correctly to avoid wear or turning yellow.
Black dress: LBD Little Black Dress and in Spanish the little black dress is another wardrobe wild card. I invested in a black dress with a classic cut, in a fabric preferably without glitter, embroidery or appliqués. A flattering cut that can be used for a night out, a work meeting or a casual date. In this case what will change the look will be the accessories. You can wear it with important jewelry for a party and very high shoes, a blazer and comfortable shoes for a work meeting and if it is very simple, even with sneakers and a jean jacket for a casual outing.
White shoes: comfortable, urban and white shoes that are as plain as possible will help you create many looks. Today it is a trend to wear sneakers with suits and dresses and it looks great even when going to work. Avoid those that have the brand logo very large or with any color or glitter details. The simpler it is, the more you can use it. I recommend that instead of canvas or cotton fabric, you use leatherette, which is easier to clean and gets less dirty. Although it is a wild card, with frequent use the white one gets dirtier. That’s why make sure that it is always in good condition before using it or else it will ruin your look.
Leather jacket: We always prefer classic designs. The typical motorcycle jacket, without too many studs or closures, is ideal for giving a rocker and hip look to your image. It will serve you for nights out, dates and if you buy good quality it will serve you for many years. Here I also suggest you pay attention to its care, since if you store it without having previously cleaned it, hung it incorrectly or folded it, it will soon become unused.
Black bag and shoes. A black bag and black shoes will do everything. The bag that has a medium size so that you can use it on several occasions, and the footwear that is comfortable and that you can use in different seasons of the year such as stilettos, always with a heel that you feel comfortable and that will help you work or go to an event. .
Trench: The classic, also called “pilot”, is ideal to use all year round, I suggest in a beige tone that gives it a touch of elegance even with a dark outfit. In addition to being practical on rainy or windy days, it is an ideal accessory to use all year round.
