Creating the perfect wardrobe is an art form and great attention should be payed. I always say its clever to invest in timeless staples rather than the more frivolous items because they’ll never go out of style. I'm not saying to never buy an item of clothing because it is simply in 'fashion'. But I am a great believer in getting your basics right first, as you need the foundations to build on to. Here are my ideas of the classic items you should invest in..
1. The Structured Jacket - A well fitting option, is also one of the most flattering things you can wear to show off your silhouette. The jacket is not also practical to keep you warm but can be worn to dress up your jeans, top off your pencil skirt, or even contrast a flawy maxi dress. The options are truly endless with this classic.

2. The White Button Down Shirt - For me a classic and very elegant element to your wardrobe, a white button down shirt can be accessorised with a brooch for a sophisticated look or even under a jumper with the collar peaking out. For women with larger chests chose a more oversized shirt to avoid buttons puckering.

3. The Jeans - Every Girl needs a pair of well fitted jeans that make their bum look like a Victoria Secret Model's. And most importantly make them feel A-mazing. Versatility makes for an ideal wardrobe and jeans are the most versatile and timeless item of clothing out there, whether you pair them with six inch heels or a pair of sneakers. Spend a little extra on your jeans and they'll be making an appearance in your daily outfits for years.

4. The Pointed Court Shoes - As Marilyn Monroe once said "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world." Court Shoes are the perfect investment heel as they are stylish for a date but then smart enough for work, they are a powerful shoe for people to take you serious in. I can guarantee you'll be able to pull them off in most situations. Even more important they are comfortable as theres no point in buying a shoe you wear once because you stubble every time you put them on.
Red Suede Heels: Kurt Geiger | Black Patent Heels: Louboutin | Nude Patent Heels: Topshop
5. The LBD - I've possibly saved the best til last, as a Little Black Dress is eternally stylish and I guarantee that you will wear it year after year dressing it down for a lunch date or up for a night on the town.
What would you add to the list?
