10 Fashion Staples for the 20-something girls

Being in your 20s can be hard, you make a sudden shift from living in your joggers at college to being out there in the real world and figuring your shit out. And while you are at it, you have to look impeccable as well to make an impression. Well if you are in your twenties, here are some of the wardrobe staples you must own. Never have that "I-have-nothing-to-wear-I-hate-everything" moment again.

1. Denim Jacket 

With the 90's back in full swing, a denim jacket is a must-have for you. It makes for a great light layer over a tank top or a cute strappy skater dress. 

When we spoke to fashion moguls- Sonam and Rhea Kapoor, even they said " The perfect back to college outfit is a pair of comfortable jeans, shoes and a denim jacket to layer" 

2. A good wallet

At this point in life, you must be done with cheap wallets. Invest in a good looking classy wallet that would pass of as a casual clutch as well. 

3. A pair of classic black pumps 

I know-I know, you are probably bored of seeing LBD and black pumps in every fashion essential list. But I had to put this on the list. A pair of black pumps are pure magic and can transform any look. 

4. Delicate Fine Jewellery 

You've owned your share of statement jewellery, but a gold necklace with a pave pendant is the kind of thing you can wear every day for the rest of your life.

5. A pair of perfect jeans 

If you still don't have them, you better go out hunting for them. You need "the perfect" pair of jeans in your life. More than you need a perfect boyfriend. Whether they are flared, cropped, skinny, or bootcut, every woman needs a pair of jeans that makes their butt look good. Instant mood-booster!

6. A silk blouse in a light hue 

They say a crisp white shirt is a wardrobe essential, well I say skip that boring piece, it is only going to make you look older. Instead, pick a light hue silk shirt that falls and fits right on your body. 

 7. Bateau Shirt 

There's a reason why this classic striped shirt has been worn by every intellectual, actor, and artist of the 20th century. This nautical-inspired top will become a mainstay in your closet. Seriously, you'll have to control yourself from wearing it every day.

8. A well-fitted kurta in a black or dark blue 

This can take you from an ethnic day at the office to meeting your boyfriend's parents in a jiffy. 

9. Red Lipstick 

By the power vested in me by the internet, I would like to declare the red lipstick a "supernatural-non-living-thing" as it has the super powers of magically taking ANYTHING from day to night! whether you are wearing a saree, a pant-suit or a simple dress, red lipstick has the power to elevate any look. 

10. A Timepiece

A watch gives off a very sophisticated message and there's something impossibly cool about a chunky menswear-inspired style. Don't worry, we won't tell if you still look at your phone for the time.
