Modern day women’s wardrobe basics consist of two pairs of jeans, one hemmed for flat shoes while the other is hemmed for heeled shoes; two pairs of dark slacks, either navy blue or black; a dress, a little black dress would be perfect; three skirts which consist of an A-line skirt, a pencil cut and a skirt in a neutral fabric; two jackets which consist of a sporty type design and a tailored jacket that matches with the black pants; three coats which include either a winter coat or a cashmere coat, a classic trench coat and a knee-length transition coat which works well for day and night; and some shirts, including a white front button shirt or blouse.
