Essential clothing to have in your wardrobe

I don't know about the rest of you all, but I must say, I love my sweatshirts on a cold night, casual day or even to wear for a walk. I have always leaned more towards the casual side as you can tell but a sweatshirts are so handy. If you travel as much as I do sweatshirts keep you warm during the long haul flights or just waiting around for your next connection flights.

It would be cool to get your own Personalised Sweatshirt!

This season, I see three potential casual outfit combinations. The first is based on a cropped, printed pant; the second on shorts; and the third (and always my favourite) on a frock.

All of these looks may not be for you but I’d like you to consider embracing at least two of them as a style guide (these exact pieces may not be right for you but they’ll give a guide as to what to look for in store and online). At the very least, embrace the frock.

Why the frock?

It’s the easiest way to get dressed each spring-summer morning. It’s one garment and just needs a pair of sandals and a statement jewellery piece to get you out the door looking dressed and polished even when...BY NIKKI PARKINSON

Blue jeans are a must in your wardrobe. They fit with everything and you won't have to worry about ironing them. Just put them on and off you go.

The clothes you wear will depend upon the life you lead and obviously everyone has different needs. But at NHJ Style we believe there are ten basic essentials that every woman should have in her wardrobe. These can be mixed and matched and updated each season. These are:

Little black dress
Classic trench coat
Crisp white shirt
Cami/strappy t-shirt
The ‘perfect' jeans - no mean feat
Tailored jacket
Gorgeous black trousers that make you look slim and sexy no matter what
A knee-length skirt

I can't count how many times my black trousers saved me from a fashion disaster.

I just love to wear my dressy black pants with any top. During my travels, I tell this much I cannot go anywhere without my black bottom.
