5 Must-Have Not-So-Basic Items to Have in Your Closet

A wardrobe is full of basic items but has you thought about owning not-so-basic items which carve a niche statement? Yes, we all wish either owning a statement bag or a show stopper dress that everyone’s talking about. We bring you 5 must-have not-so-basic items to own in your ‘constantly evolving closet’.

1. Day & Night Dress

Wear a comfy dress that’s equally versatile as it’s trendy. One of the key essential items in a wardrobe, the day & night dress has to look stylish yet have a ruffled flair to it. Many Bollywood actresses have rocked this trend in a graphical way. Sonam, for example, has worn a flowy and demure outfit to the airport but she could also wear the same ensemble to a night out with sexy heels and a chic clutch. It’s not your usual basic dress but the one that has a sensual raunchiness to it. Bold prints, decadent silhouettes and comfy dressiness conceptualise the day & night dress.

2. Chunky Heels/Sandals

Own a pair of heels that have a meaty ‘wow’ to it. These include lace-ups, block heels or fringed sandals. Pair them with an understated ensemble, showcasing your versatile femininity. Bollywood fashionistas such as Jacqueline has worn them vivaciously with a monochrome ensemble. Or super sleek, Shilpa Shetty has worn a pair of heart-shaped heels to complement her chic outfit. These shoes are not your usual, forgetful heels but something that creates a statement. Which pair would you like to own, courtesy of our Bollywood celebs? Comment below.

3. Show-Stopper Dress

A dress to show off your svelte figure or plainly pleasures seeking. This dress is not your usual, simplistic dress but the one that is loaded with graphicness or colourful playfulness. Own a pair with an exotic flair or is just fashionably perfect. We are totally crushing over Sonam’s yellow off-shoulder dress!

4. Statement Tote/Clutch

Not your usual bag but the one with ‘statement’ written all over it. Either it’s Shilpa’s ‘Maharani’ clutch or Aishwarya’s Dior bag, both carve a memorable feeling and look chicly personalised. Own a pair of tote that equally defines laid back and presentable. We are pinning over Esha’s outstanding shoulder bag! 

5. Creative Jewellery

Lastly, own a pair of striking jhumkas or a heavy statement necklace to create a nonchalant effect.Usually, we all own a pair of simple earrings or a silver bangle but your wardrobe is incomplete without heavy, creative jewellery such as Malaika’s above. We are jewellery crushing over her inspiring necklace!
