Specific trends and outside temperatures have been factors that have often times influenced the way women dress themselves day-to-day. However, there are some items that every girl needs to have in her closet, no matter the season or current trend. Below are the top five staple clothing items a girl's closet just can't survive without.

1. Classic button-up shirt.

This is such an easy piece to throw on and wear with jeans or dress up with a skirt. These shirts will never go out of style, and they add an element of professionalism to any outfit. J.Crew has tons of options every season, and their shirts will hold up and last you forever.

2. Great fitting jeans.

Another essential to almost any outfit, a pair of jeans that you feel comfortable in and look great in are any girl's weapon. While the perfect fitting pair of jeans may be on the higher end of the price scale, they are worth every penny.

3. Little black dress.

Think Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel. You never know when you might need a dress to throw on for dinner or as back-up when you have a major wardrobe malfunction. It is a guaranteed chic, stylish outfit that you will always feel confident in.

4. Ballet flats.

These come in all colors and price ranges, and they go with just about any outfit. Need to dress up a t-shirt? Ballet flats are definitely the way to go. They look great paired with a dress for work or jeans for class. I recommend collecting a variety of colors to match any possible outfit choice.

5. Peacoat or trench coat

Every girl needs a coat she can dress up when needed because, let's face it, your North Face puffer just doesn't go with that cocktail dress. A nice coat will make a huge different as it is something you will wear all the time, and is the first impression of your outfit as it is the top layer.
