Glamazons,
I hope 2016 is treating you well so far! I know we are only a few weeks in but what better time than the present to revamp your wardrobe and incorporate new pieces into your closet? This year, I’m all about resisting the urge to make impulse purchases and opting for timeless staples that will never go out of style.
Get into a few must-have pieces that are worth investing in over the next twelve months:
1. Little Black Dress
When I think of timeless wardrobe staples, a little black dress instantly comes to mind. This piece makes such a classic statement. And it can effortlessly take you from the office to after work hours. Wear it as a blank canvas or dress it up with quirky accessories. You can even opt for an LBD with embellishments for a little built-in drama.
2. Striped Shirt
Because you can style a striped shirt with pretty much anything, it’s the perfect transition piece to get you through the seasons. Pair it with a solid A-line skirt for a sophisticated vibe or slouchy denim for a laidback look.
3. Tuxedo Blazer
Blending feminine and masculine elements, a tuxedo blazer is a classic power piece that pulls together any outfit. It works for an office meeting, a lunch date or a night on the town with girlfriends. Look for a blazer that gives a close (yet comfortable) fit and doesn’t swallow your waist. Black is always a safe bet but don’t be afraid to mix in a pop of color or a vibrant print.
4. Classic Trench Coat
With the weather being so unpredictable, a trench coat should definitely be an essential part of your wardrobe. It’s hard to think of an outfit a trench coat doesn’t go perfectly with. And because it will never go out of style, a quality one is well worth the investment. Look for classic styles that cinch in at the waist to create a sleek, streamlined silhouette.
5. Chic Carryall
Large carryalls constantly save me from myself: they hold everything I need to get through a busy day from my portable chargers to my makeup case. I also love how they command attention and upgrade your entire look no matter what you’re wearing.
6. Flared Denim
If the Spring 2016 runways are any indication, flared jeans will be everywhere in the coming months. This 70s silhouette flatters all body types and keeps your look casual and comfy. You can pair them with platforms or wedges to get extra height or throw on some fab pumps for a sleek vibe.
7. Jumpsuit
I am obsessed with a good jumpsuit. They’re an easy all-in-one look that can pass for casual or dressy depending on how you accessorize. For laid back days, pair the jumpsuit with sneakers or stylish flats. To go a more formal route, wear it with statement jewelry and sexy heels.
8. Opaque Tights
You must have a great pair of opaque tights in your style arsenal. Not only are they practical, they make your legs look slimmer. Black tights serve as the perfect transition piece to keep your summer faves in heavy rotation. For a daring look that’s super on trend, layer them under short shorts!
9. Sneakers
When you need to take a break from those six-inch stilettos, sneakers are a surprisingly chic alternative. No longer reserved solely for athletes, sneakers can serve as an eye-catching contrast to a cocktail dress or even a gown!

10. Statement Necklace
I love how a statement necklace can make a simple look instantly glam. Pair it with a basic tee and jeans to take your look up a notch. Or throw one on with a sophisticated gown to add that wow factor.
