Don’t forget the classics – item one

You read any stylist’s top tips, and they will remind you to make sure you have the classics in place.

For a working wardrobe, the basic core items need to be there to build around.

After that it becomes so much easier to add the fun bits – the trend items to develop your own style.

1   Core item – The Black trousers

I love the quality of Reiss – their black trousers are well made, classic but cut on trend too. All are Dry clean.

Me+Em are a smaller brand with a huge amount of style. I love their trousers because they are WASHABLE, yay! I have picked the wider styles but they also show slim leg versions.

Most wardrobes warrant a slim and wide leg black trouser –  you will always need them to fall back on.
