10 WARDROBE ESSENTIALS

Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer of Liz Claiborne and host of Tim Gunn's Guide To Style has a list of 10 Wardrobe Essentials. Here they are in no particular order. See if you agree. Are there any additions to the list specific to Portland Style?

1. Basic Black Dress - The LBD, need we say more?
2. Trench Coat - A staple for 3 out of 4 seasons. Try a bright color like green or red to brighten dreary fall days.
3. Classic White Shirt - Simple and sexy
4. Classic Dress Pants - 3 words: tailoring, tailoring, tailoring
5. Skirt - Pencil or A-line, find a figure flattering shape in a neutral color.
6. Blazer - A great way to dress up jeans and a tee.
7. Day Dress - Prints are great for dresses. Stick with a cut that lets you move.
8. Cashmere Sweater - Whether V-neck or cardigan, cashmere is a great investment.
9. Jeans - We finally have choices in denim. Find a fit that elongates the legs in a dark wash.
10. A Comfortable Sweatsuit Alternative - Keep the sweats and gym shoes in the gym please.
