Staple Fashion Must Haves For Women.

The very famous Little Black Dress.

The very term "little black dress," was established in 1926, in an American Vogue illustration of Gabrielle Chanel's first black "Ford." By now, nearly every woman out there must have at least one or two black dresses in their closet or least must have heard about how necessary it is to have one. Having two or more black dresses in your wardrobe can really make a difference in your personal fashion and styling. For me, I perceive the black dress as a blank canvass as there is so much you achieve out of styling a black dress in limitless number of ways that will surprise you. The highest peak of class and style a woman's closet can reach is owning at least two "little black dresses" the presence of which insinuates power, timeless fashion and panache.

Why You Should Own At Least One LBD.

Having a variety of black little numbers can help give you your best options when you're at a complete loss of what to wear to an event on or before the day. Asides from being "just" functional, it can really make all the difference you need.

Know the right length, size and fabric type that works for you when choosing dresses, black or other. Not too short that it's bordering on exposing your sacred places, not too tight that it totally loses the whole idea of being classy yet chic on you. You should aspire to getting just the perfect pick for you.

Usually getting a plain black dress is always the best choice in my opinion, as you can mix and match colours, details and accessories as you please to optimize the styling look you are going for or better yet simply leave the dress as plain as it is and let your makeup and hair do the accessorizing, clean and precise.

The function you are attending should help you determine what LBD design to wear and how to style it. There are numerous designs and stores to choose from. Most probably won't wear a black dress to a wedding but hey, whatever works for you in the end, fashion and style should be totally about your comfort and overall appearance.

The LBD can be a total confidence booster as it can also camouflage a few body flaws, such as bloating around the stomach area and other places and it helps make you feel and look taller and elegant. You just can't go wrong owing one.

The LBD is a true and timeless fashion staple every woman who strives for a simple, effortless yet elegant and classy look should endeavor to own.

At Least 5 To 8 pairs of functional coloured Shoes.

Having these staple pairs in your shoes collection can help start the build up into as many as you would like to have. All women love shoes like the fat kid loves cake but if for wardrobe budget or financial constraints you are not able to afford so many, having all or a few of these can go a long way in styling for looks for as long they remain in good shape. These are the shades, types and designs I have chosen to give a mental picture for this purpose, there still a million pairs out there to hunt from. Styling should be about about what's easily accessible, timeless and reusable in your closet, I can't emphasize this enough. I am picking out more of courts/pumps as they always give that extra uplift the heels alone can't ever give a woman's total appearance.
