Top 25 Things You Need in Your Closet

19. A signature scarf It's a piece that can add instant style impact to a suit or a crisp white shirt. Pick one in a bold color or vivid pattern; tie it onto your neck or purse handle, or twist it and wear it as a simple, but vibrant, belt.
20. The confidence- building suit From boardroom to bistro, an up-to-date, well-fitting suit flatters your shape. And it offers endless style options: Wear blazer and pants with a blouse for that impress-everyone meeting; pair the pants with a crisp white shirt and cashmere sweater for everyday; or add a camisole to the suit (along with a sexy pair of heels) for that evening event.
21. A sophisticated belt A well-crafted leather belt looks polished and completes your look. Pair it over a long blouse, with a suit or to dress up a basic tank.
22. Face-flattering shades The easiest way to class up any outfit -- for work or weekend -- is with a super-classy (and UV- protective) pair of sunglasses. A general rule of thumb when shopping for the perfect pair: Rounded frames soften a square jaw line, square frames slim cheeks and rectangular frames add width and dimension to your face.
Evening Essentials
23. A clutch Accessorize your evening wardrobe with a sleek, compact bag that's just big enough to hold your keys, cash and cell phone.
24. Strappy high heels Whether you buy them in satin or leather (silver, gold or black are always wearable choices), a pair of dressy-looking heels can be worn year-round to the office -- as well as out on the town.
25. The basic black dress Dazzle in a classic black cocktail dress with a sexy neckline. The look is simply stunning -- now and for years to come.
