Fashion is fun but it could be. Trends come and go out often. Keeping pace at times get very diffcult.

Instead, build a wardrobe with classic pieces that will sail you through every ocassion without being a fashion victim.

Here are a few must haves for that timeless look:

The Little Black Dress: Even when you feel fat and bloated, your little black dress will do the trick for that perfect night out. It will rescue your moment when everything else fails. Its classy, racy and formal enough. Select a dress in a figure-flattering silhouette at knee-length. This piece will never go out of style can be worn almost anywhere. Add a pair of classic black pumps or sling backs and a black leather shoulder bag, even a clutch. These fashion basics can be the foundation of your look year in and year out.

Don't limit just to black: A gray business suit or a chocolate brown wrap dress and matching pumps are also fantastic choices that will withstand the test of time. A few great day dresses which are easy to wear and versatile for any occasion. One of these should be the indispensable wrap dress – smart, sexy and timeless. A colorful evening dress which makes you feel great are other essentials.

Classic Jewellery: They are ageless and never go out of style. Just wear a string of pearls around the neck and match them with diamond stud earrings to add that sophisticated look.

Jeans: Denim is a must. When shopping for a pair, consider the following: pocket placement, length, wash, fit, leg width, rise. It is best to have at least two pairs – one in a classic dark wash for a dressier attire, and another in a light wash for an everyday look.

Black Slacks & Khakis - A flattering flat front Khaki is best for any casual occasion. Those slim-fitting black slacks are best for a first date that goes from the upscale bistro to that favorite dive bar. Look out for flattering fits.

Classic Tees – Two basic colors of black and white are a must have. Long-sleeved T-shirts or tops in varying weights , one classic- fitted white shirt, crisp and classy. A cashmere sweater and cardigan in a V-neck and round neck. Buy a dozen in every color if you’ve found the tee that looks great on you. You’ll end up wearing them all the time. You’ll feel sexy in them, thus people will see you as that sexy, confident woman that you really are!

Handbags & Shades- Invest in a good handbag that brings out your sophistication and that you are proud of. Even if it means really splurging on one, you must do that. A good designer bag that you'll pick will be your arm candy for years to come. Of course a few sunglasses in different colors and styles will accentuate your style.

Shoes- A few pair of shoes will make up for every occasion. One pair of wild look-at-me, statement shoes for those times you want to be noticed. A pair of versatile,sophisticated black medium-heeled courts. Comfortable ballet flats in different styles and colors and definitely a pair of walking boots and a pair of statement boots, fashionable and trendy.

This is just a guide. The real trick is to go back to basics because one really cant go wrong with them. Go on to make your own personal style from there on. Add a bohemian necklace if you’re a bohemian chic. Add a sleek silver belt, if you are a classic minimalist. Invest in something with a bit of flair. Timeless style shouldn't be boring.
