The little black dress will be forever be the most versatile piece of clothing you can and should be able to find in your wardrobe. You can wear it to a fun night out or even to the office! Dress it up with a pair of cute heels or dress it down with some comfy flats.

Another versatile piece, you can literally wear your dark wash jeans with any top—from basics to brights. Plus, since it's in a dark wash, it's flattering for any body type.
Denim or Leather Jacket

If you're looking for a piece to splurge on, you know that a good denim or leather jacket is worth it. These jackets will never go out of style and will actually look better as they age! Layer on any of these third-piece items in your OOTD for an instant cool-girl vibe.
A-Line Skirt

An A-Line skirt will easily give your body a nice silhouette as it nips and flares at all the right places. It also comes in different fabrics—from leather to fun prints—which can add texture and character to any look in a snap.
Basic Black or White Low Scoop Neck Tee

Wearing a low scoop neck tee is a good style hack to instantly look slimmer because it highlights your collarbones. It also serves as a nice canvas piece since you can easily team it with a skirt or a pair of pants. You can also layer it with a denim or leather jacket for an instantly cool look.
