2. A little black dress
Timeless, versatile, and effortlessly elegant, a little black dress is the ultimate wardrobe staple that can easily take your looks from day to night with ease. The main appeal of having a little black dress stashed away in your wardrobe is that it will always be a good backup plan when you “have nothing to wear”. Simply dress it down with box-fresh kicks and a biker jacket for a casual daytime look, or dress it up with knee-high boots and statement accessories for a night out with the girls. The key with the LBD is to make sure its versatile so you can wear it to both smart and casual occasions. If its slightly Aline it will flatter your silhouette.
3. Go-with-anything shorts
Not only are shorts a vital part of summer fashion, but they’re also one of the most comfortable layers you can wear. From denim shorts to silk shorts there are endless styles. You can play around with layering and textures by wearing a look such as a silky shorts with a bralette and strappy heels for a night out, or denim shorts and a co-ord denim jacket with a white crop and white platform trainers. The styling options are endless so they are an ideal wardrobe staple that will take you through summer, lounging at home and also perfect for holidays.

These one-and-done pieces have the same versatile charm as an LBD but require far less styling and accessories. With their effortless appeal, jumpsuits offer a stylish yet practical solution for your fashion dilemmas, making them a must-have piece in your wardrobe. Dress it up with heels and some glad jewellery for a smart evening look, or during the day roll up the sleeves and ankles, unbutton the top and wear a crop top underneath and don with so chunky trainers.
