Top 10 closet staples every woman should own

Back to story
Tailored Blazer: A chic, tailored blazer is a key wardrobe must-have, with fans such as the Duchess of Cambridge often spotted wearing them for smart casual events. Whether you have a job interview or are heading to a smart casual event, a well-fitted blazer instantly smartens up an outfit. Throw over a t-shirt and jeans and add some heels for a chic daytime to night-time look.
Little Black Dress: One of the ultimate wardrobe classics, every girl should own a little black dress that fits you well and leaves you feeling glamorous. Think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's – add some statement jewellery and heels for a chic dressed-up look.
A pair of black stilettos: Victoria Beckham is rarely spotted wearing shoes other than her trusted black stilettos, showcasing how a great pair of classic black stilettos is a must-have in any woman's wardrobe. Paired with jeans and a blazer for a smart casual outfit, or teamed with a glitzy dress for a girls' night out, invest in a pair in which you are comfortable enough to last the night.
A pair of flats: Heels might feel more glamorous, but sometimes a chic pair of flats is the more comfortable option, especially if you're going to be on your feet all day. Flats don't necessarily have to be dainty ballet pumps – Alexa Chung is often spotted wearing her trusty black patent brogues for an edgier yet classic style.
Statement necklace: There's nothing like a bit of embellishment to brighten up an outfit, and a statement necklace is an easy way to add some glamour with minimal effort. Fashionista Olivia Palermo is often seen sporting a statement necklace for a chic front row look, avoiding overkill by keeping the rest of her accessories simple.
A killer winter coat: The British weather in Autumn and Winter can be quite bleak, but a chic coat can instantly brighten up your day. Take a leaf out of Kate Moss's book and choose striking prints, or, if you want a more classic look, opt for black and camel shades. Team with some gorgeous boots and a chic handbag for instant elegance.
Skinny jeans: Skinny jeans started out as a trend but has grown into a wardrobe staple, with models such as Karlie Kloss often wearing them while off duty. Team with ankle boots for the winter or a pretty vest top for the summer, these work for every season. Make sure to invest in a pair in which you feel comfortable though!
Leather jacket: Leather jackets continue to be on-trend no matter what the season, with supermodel Cara Delevingne often spotted throwing one over her effortlessly cool outfits. Make sure to look for one that's great quality - it will be wearable for years, making it a great investment piece. Toughen up your floral outfits in spring and team with some black boots, or simply throw over your knitwear in the autumn for a chic yet warm ensemble!
A great handbag: A handbag is a daily necessity for any woman, allowing us to carry all our essentials from our phones to our wallets. A chic handbag can last you for years, so make sure to choose one that suits your daily needs – if you prefer to be hands-free, opt for a cross body bag, but if you have a lot to carry, a holdall might be a better option. Opt for neutral colours for a chic look like Kim Kardashian's.
A classic white shirt: Not always the most exciting of purchases, a white shirt remains an essential wardrobe must-have. Tucked into a floor-length skirt like Emma Watson, or paired with some skinny jeans, this fashion staple is versatile and can go with almost any outfit.
