Your wardrobe speaks volumes about your taste in clothing and jewelry, and consequently, your personality. You should always make sure that your wardrobe has clothes to suit every occasion. Simply having lots of suits and skirts is not enough; you need to have different kinds of clothing suited to different situations, along with proper accessories to suit the outfits.

Every person's choice varies regarding the preference of clothing, but there are ten essentials that a woman simply cannot do without.

1. The little black dress: This is something that Audrey Hepburn had immortalized as a timeless trend. Since then, every woman with an hourglass figure has been keeping one of these items in her wardrobe. The little black dress is your perfect companion at a social gathering or on a night out in town with your friends or partner.

2. The white shirt: This is one item that should always be there in your wardrobe. Why? It's because this can go with almost anything. Whether you are wearing a pencil skirt, a pair of freshly ironed trousers, or even a pair of jeans, the buttoned down white shirt will match it to perfection.

3. Denim trousers/jeans: Yves Saint Laurent once reportedly commented that his one wish in life was that he had invented the jeans. Denim can be paired successfully with almost anything, be it a stylish top, a shirt, or even a cashmere cardigan.

4. Cashmere crew-neck sweater/cardigan: This is perfect for getting comfortable in chilly areas with much higher temperature outside. Centrally air-conditioned restaurants and airplane cabins are good examples of locations where the cashmere cardigan can save
you from the sudden chill.

5. High heel pump shoes: These work well with most sets of outfit. The jeans, skirts, and even formal trousers, almost anything can be paired up well with the high heel pumps. Purchase these in neutral shades like black, navy blue, grey or brown for best effects.

6. Ballet flat shoes: Sure, high heels will make you look really stylish. But there is something about ballet flats when it comes to providing stylish comfort.

7. Pencil skirt: This item will always look stylish on you, provided you have a properly toned figure. Team it up with shirts, tops, or even cashmere cardigans to create a style statement that's uniquely yours.

8. Black trousers: There a reason these have gained popularity. You can match these with almost anything in your wardrobe, and still look stylish. Add a pair of high heels, and you are ready for the occasion, be it a night out with your fiancé, or a high profile boardroom meeting.

9. A properly fitted blazer: Nothing looks more professional in a corporate environment than a properly fitted blazer over formals. However, it can also work like a charm when you are on a night out with friends. Just team it up with a pencil skirt, and you will watch the envy in your friends' eyes.

10. Trench coat: Chow Yun Fat certainly made these things popular, but that does not mean these are only for men. Women can cover up many a bad fashion day with trench coats. Besides, in winter season, these can provide protection against chilly winds, while upping the style quotient of the wearer considerably.

These are the top 10 items that must be there in a fashionista's wardrobe. Just accessorize these properly, and your fashion sense may very well become the next hot topic amongst your friends.
