Must Have(s) - Little Black Dress

Coco Chanel's fashion foresight and style saviour of millions of women across the Globe..

intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable and accessible to the widest market of women disregarding social status and financial boundaries, an elegant black dress is THE MOST ESSENTIAL wardrobe staple.

Its that one outfit that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion complimenting no matter what your body shape is and let you work what you have got.

This post, has tried to bring in as many Silhouettes and body types as possible. I have tried to exclude gowns since they arent everyday for most of us. Do pay attention to the accessories and hairstyles these celebs have paired with for ideas on how to spice up your look.

Remember, no matter what your body type is, there is always one LBD that would fit you like a dream and make you feel like a million bucks. And there are no rules to play by - except to go with a dress thats your size, not a size shorted or bigger and  HAVE FUN...

Metallics/ Sequin/Shimmer trend card

Shimmer is here to stay people! All you need  is an accent of it as part of your outfit to transform you into the belle of the ball. Its THE official 'run to' piece of every style setter out there.


Sequin and metallics are perfect party coup to glam it up - wear it as a minor accent if you arent comfortable with head to toe glitz- a shrug,shoes, clutch or a headband.


If flashbulbworthy is your style, go for a metallic dress,skirt, top or tunic. Remember to keep the rest of the look simple and let the glitter take centre stage. Shimmer basic are gold,silver or bronze but do experiment with black, white or colors as per your individual aesthetic.

Must Have(s) - Stripes

This ones for the basics guys. Keep a striped t/top on the corner of your wardrobe  for a day when you want an easy breezy casual look. 


For nothing says casual like stripes do, an instant lifter on short of new looks days and endless possibilities to pair it anything you can find in the closet.

A couple of things to keep in mind


If you are going horizontal,opt for a size bigger.
For stripes dress look - add one pop of color with accessories as emma griffith and Jessica Szohr.
Wear it as a single piece,very few can carry off a head to toe stripes look.And pair it with solid colors.
Pair with a well cut jacket for structure if you want a cleaner look.




Have Fun.
