- White Tee : A white T- shirt is an essential in every wardrobe. A white tee is a classic piece that can be styled in so many ways and it never goes out of style. That's what makes it so versatile and an absolute must-have. The classic 'White tee and blue denims' look has been around for ages and for good reason. There's just something about that look. Wear your white tee with your favorite denims and white converse (or some heels) and some jewelry and you're good to go.

White Shirt : A white Shirt is just as important and versatile as the white T-shirt. A white shirt can be worn in so many different ways. Wear it with your denims or palazzos for a casual look, you can wear your white shirt with your formal trousers or with a pencil skirt for a work outfit, you can wear it with a sequence skirt for a party look. In fact, I have seen some girls rocking a lehenga with a white shirt. How crazy is that? Well, that's what a white shirt can do for you. Here are some pictures.
- Blue and black jeans : It is needless to say that it's so important to have a few well-fitting jeans in your closet. Denims have been in fashion for a long time now and the trend isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. Denims or jeans are something that we reach out to when we're in a hurry or when we want to go for a casual look ( which is almost all the time). It looks nice on everybody, irrespective of your body type. However, when you are buying jeans, make sure you buy jeans that fit you perfectly. Wearing jeans that are too tight for you or too loose isn't a nice look and can completely destroy your over-all outfit. Make sure you invest in a good pair of denims when you go out shopping the next time. Blue denims and black denims are absolute must-haves in my opinion.

Denim jacket - A denim jacket is great because it adds texture to your outfit, it keeps you warm when it's cold, it's a great layering piece and it's so stylish. You can throw on a denim jacket on your casual outfit to add some extra dimension. This trick has been used for so long now. Personally, I like light - washed denim jackets. Make sure you incorporate your personal style in everything you wear, even if it's a denim jacket. You'll be surprised at how many kinds of denim jackets actually exist!
- Little black dress : A little black dress or LBD is so popular because of how versatile it is. Plus, an all black dress is so stylish and can be styled in so many different ways because black is one of those colors that looks nice with just about any color. If you have a party to go to, wear your LBD with some hot pumps and bold accessories. During the day, wear your LBD with sneakers and a casual jacket. You can even wear your LBD to work if you wear it right (and if it isn't too short.) Long story short, a little black dress can come handy in various situations and that's what makes it a wardrobe must have. While purchasing a LBD, make sure you buy one that has a versatile cut, one that you're comfortable in and make sure it's the perfect length.
- Saree : If you're an Indian woman, a saree is a must have in your closet in my opinion. A saree is such an elegant thing to wear which is why it's probably called ' six yards of elegance'. The best part about a saree is that it never goes out of style and you can wear it for years even if you lose or gain weight. Instead of wearing lehengas and salwar suits to weddings or other occassions, consider wearing a saree the next time. Why? Because it doesn't cost as much as lehengas or other indian outfits and you can mix and match sarees with different blouses to attain a different look every time! I'm a huge fan of sarees because I can even wear my mother's sarees with a blouse of mine. I suggest buying sarees that feature two or three colors so you can wear it and match it with different blouses easily. I also recommend having a black and a gold blouse. Gold blouses go with most sarees but if it doesn't, your trusty black blouse has got your back. Sarees are loved by young women these days and I've seen girls wearing sarees with crop tops, too! How cool is that? Here is an image of a saree being worn with a printed crop top.
- Sling bag : Sling bags are the best thing to carry when you have a long day ahead of you and you don't want to carry a hand bag or a tote bag. Sling bags are also perfect when you're going out for lunch or for a movie. It has just enough space to store your wallet, keys, phone and a lipstick or a sanitizer. It's the perfect option when you don't want to carry a big bag. This is what makes a sling bag a wardrobe must have. I suggest you invest in a black sling bag and a nude one. These two colors go with almost every outfit.
- Tote bag : A tote bag is another kind of bag that you need to own because its spacious and it can come in handy when you're going out shopping or when you have to carry a lot of stuff with you. If you're the kind of person who carries your world with you, a tote bag is your best friend. What I'm trying to say is, tote bags are both stylish and functional and it's a wardrobe must have. If you don't have one already, go out and buy one NOW!
- Nude pumps / stilettos : Do you know how to dress up a boring outfit? Just add heels. If you're wearing a basic outfit and you want to take it to the next level, swapping your flats for a nice pair of pumps or stilettos can do the trick for you. This particular pair of heels can be your go-to footwear. You don't have to buy a lot of heels. Just having a pair that is minimalistic and nude should be good enough.
- Accessories : An outfit isn't complete without accessories, whether it's your favourite watch, hoop earrings or just some simple studs. Accessories can take your outfit to the next level. It's so important to have a few accessories in your wardrobe. You don't have to be a jewellery hoarder. You just need to invest in some classic pieces that you can wear all the time. It could be a nice watch, a few bracelets and a few earrings that you can wear with almost anything. Accessories definitely make your outfit look more interesting and it pulls your entire look together.
These are a few wardrobe must haves in my opinion. If you think I missed out on something, be sure to leave a comment in the comment section!
