1. Pea Coat
If there is one thing I believe every girl should invest in, it is a well-fitted, comfy, durable pea coat. My mother always tells me, good quality items are worth the extra money. In addition, they are more likely to be classic and stay in style. Pea coats are great for every degree of cold weather, ranging from the chills of a 39 degree Davis afternoon, to the blizzards of a 7 degree snowstorm in New York. Pea coats are also versatile because they can be worn with virtually any outfit.
2. White Shirt
This item can be anything from a $5 3-pack of White Hanes found at Wal Mart to a nice button-down blouse at Banana Republic. White shirts are simple, yet elegant. In most articles about a guy’s favorite outfit on a girl, you can be sure to find at least one guy saying he loves to see a girl in a white shirt, jeans and converse. Simple, yet cute.
3. Little Black Dress
Oh yeah ladies, the LBD. It HAS to be in your closet! The LBD is pretty self-explanatory. You can use this sexy, slimming dress for going out to a fancy dinner with your friends, for a sorority/fraternity cocktail, or for a night at the club! The Little Black Dress comes in sooo many varieties that you can be sure to find a flattering style that’s right for you.
4. Jeans
Before you think, “Well duh, every girl should own jeans!” Let me explain. I don’t mean jeans that are borderline high waters, your boyfriend’s jeans, or jeans so tight you bake a muffin top. These need to be jeans that you LOVE: the perfect wash, the perfect length, the perfect fit, all to show off your legs and best assets. These are your go-to jeans when you want to look and feel your best.
5. Flats, Boots, Heels
Okay so this is technically more like 3 items, but I could not choose which type of shoe I find more valuable!Â
