4. A Party/Casual/Little Black Dress

The LBD (Little Black Dress) is so essential that it has its own section on most online women’s clothing sites. A good party dress always has to be waiting for when the occasion happily arises, and the casual dress is perfect for summer/spring/fall days.

7. A Comfortable Pair of Flats

Sometimes you don’t feel like wearing heels, but the outfit will appear sloppy if you wear a pair of sneakers. In these cases, flats come to the rescue.

Belts can be worn around your waist to accentuate your shape or in your belt hooks, to both hold up your pants and be another accessory to the outfit.
