A good handbag
Buying a good handbag isn’t only trendy but also a great investment. Choose a classic piece that isn’t too loud and doesn’t have studs or huge designer labels on them and they will go with almost any outfit that comes out of your closet. This way, you are treating yourself while adding a timeless piece in your wardrobe.
Plain white tee
No one can ever go wrong with a plain white tee. It can be combined with anything at all to look flawless with the most minimal effort ever. Pair it with black jeans and ballet flats and you have pulled together a chic outfit for office or hanging out with friends. Or wear it with a pencil skirt, put on a nice jacket, and a pair of heels and be party ready.
Leather jacket
A leather jacket is the biggest investment you can make for your wardrobe. It only gets better as the years go by and you’ll end up getting quite a lot for the investment you make. Leather jackets can also be worn all year around to add an extra edge to your outfit – you can wear it over light cotton tees as well as sweaters. Just make sure you buy one with clean lines minus a lot of buckles and metal to keep it classy.

Skinny jeans
Skinny jeans have been around since the early nineteenth century and are one of the most valuable clothes we can have in our closets. Any outfit feels instantly uplifted with skinny jeans. It is, however, not easy to find skinny jeans that fit you perfectly. Take your time to find one that fits perfectly and make the most out of it. The trend may have lasted centuries but unless you get a really good pair these might not last that long. So, opt for designer jeans here because quality matters.
Cashmere sweater
Sweaters are investments you absolutely cannot go wrong with. A knitted sweater can add that extra oomph to your outfit during the chilly seasons, especially during spring and autumn time. Opt for neutral colors that will go with anything and you won’t have to put much effort to pair it with the right clothes. Layer it over a collared blouse or a shirt during the week and pair it with your favorite pair of jeans for the weekend. The options are quite endless.
Sunglasses/ watch
A nice pair of sunglasses goes a long way to speak about you and your style. Get a pair that flatters your facial structure and isn’t very flashy and you will be wearing it for years to come.
A watch, likewise, also speaks volumes about you, your personality and your style. It can act as a stand-alone accessory too. You can make it the focal point of your get up. Buy one that flatters your body type and looks good on you.
Splurge on these classic, timeless designs and you will end up using them more than anything else in your closet.
Antique silver necklaces
These necklaces have a nice ethnic charm to it and they can be worn as a choker or a simple neckpiece. The thing that makes it timeless is that it can tone down even the most ultra modern outfits. I just know that no matter how many years I have had it, it will never go out of style.
Pointed loafers
This goes on top of my essentials list, doesn’t even need an explanation – I just love it, it goes with absolutely anything and it uplifts the outfit from normal to chic.
A long black overcoat
Even the most laidback outfit can be powered up when you put on a long coat. It’s something that gives you more than just good looks when you wear it. A coat is an investment you can make that will last for a really long time. During the winter, throwing a long overcoat on top is effortless and makes looking flawless that much easier.
A v-neck tee
It is a simple yet, minimal go-to piece that checks all the boxes for all types of events I may have to go to. The v neck makes for an attractive neckline.
