Many fashion blogs will say that you should have timeless pieces in your closet, but how do you know which items to buy? When you go shopping for clothes, you are bombarded with a huge array of styles, colors, and choices. Trendy pieces are fun, but timeless pieces never go out of fashion. They can be worn often and in many ways, so give you the best value for your money.

A White Shirt
A white shirt is one of the most versatile pieces you can buy. You can do so much with it. They can be worn loose or tucked into your pants, on their own, with a jacket or other accessories. They will always look good, no matter how you wear them.

A Blazer
If you want a jacket you can wear with pants, skirts, dresses, casually or for a formal occasion, a blazer is the one to buy. Regardless if they are double-breasted or just have a single row of buttons, they always look stylish and flattering.

Black Dress Pants
If you want to feel a bit more dressed up than you do in your jeans, black dress pants are the answer.  They are great if you find you have to attend a meeting or event without notice. Throw them on with your white shirt and blazer, and you have the perfect outfit for any occasion.

A Trench Coat
A trench coat is something that has never gone out of fashion since they were first introduced. They are a classic timeless piece that can be worn with jeans, skirts, dress pants or anything else. A trench coat will also keep you warm when the weather turns a bit chilly.

A Simple Cardigan
Everyone should have at least one simple cardigan in their closet.  They are for all seasons and all occasions and come in a range of different materials. You can treat yourself to one made of cashmere or stick to cotton or wool.

A Pencil Skirt
A pencil skirt can be worn with absolutely anything and for any event. They look as good on a date as they do in the office, and will flatter your figure too. You can pair it with sweaters, blouses or jackets.

A Little Black Dress
Your closet will never be complete without a little black dress. Every woman should own one of these, as they are a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The best ones are knee length, sleeveless and do not show any cleavage. These will look more stylish than any others.

A Leather Jacket
Like the blazer, a leather jacket can be worn with any outfit. They may seem expensive but they are an investment that is worth every dollar. You can wear them all year round, and often they improve with age. You will wonder how you ever managed without one.

Boots
You should probably have a least two pairs of boots, one pair that is knee length and the other ankle height. Boots will give you endless options of what to wear them with and can change the look of any outfit. Some women prefer boots with high chunky heels and others like their boots to be flat. It really does not matter and is a choice of which is the most comfortable for your feet.

Jewelry
It is thought that the more jewelry you wear ,the better and that was certainly the thoughts in the days that milgrain jewelry was introduced. If you are wondering what is milgrain jewelry, it is a type of handcrafted accessory that was first seen in the 1920s.  It has a sophisticated and stylish look that is elegant and timeless.

Bags
Women have so many things to carry around that a bag is essential.  A medium sized handbag that will hold your necessities is great for an evening out or for meeting your pals. You may want something a bit bigger if you want it to hold your makeup too.

Ballet Flats
Classic ballet flats are easy to wear and will look good with any outfit. They come in many designs and colors and you can even have then sparkling with sequins if you want. You do not need to spend a fortune on real leather flats. You are better to buy fabric ones and have more than one color.

Heels
High heels can make any girl feel special and elevate any look.

Scarves
You can buy them in silk, nylon wool, cotton and lots of other materials. You can tie them around your waist or wrist, have one hanging from your belt or wear it around your neck. In the summer, they can serve as a great fashion accessory and in the winter, they keep you warm. This must be the most versatile timeless piece of all and you should have several of them in your closet.

Jeans And T-shirts
