Little Black Dress
Universally flattering color? Check. Sex appeal? Check. Impressive versatility? Check. Why wouldn't you want a classic LBD—or a few dozen—hanging in your closet? While you can't go wrong with basic LBDs, modern detailing like the sheer paneling on Ashley Greene's Missoni dress offers fun ways of updating your LBD collection.
Statement Necklaces
Sometimes bigger is better. That's certainly the case with our fave accessory, the show-stopping statement necklace. Jaime King uses her hard-to-miss Christian Dior necklace to add a little glitz and glamour to her purple top and skirt combo, but you can use yours to liven up anything from a simple tee to a classy cocktail dress.
Gel Manicures
This isn't your mother's manicure. We're die-hard fans of chip-resistant gel nails that help us get the most mileage out of our mani-pedi splurges. Gel nail devotee Katy Perry livens up her digits with flashy gel nail art on a regular basis. And if gel nails can survive her rock ‘n' roll lifestyle, we're pretty sure they'll withstand yours, too.
Nude Shoes
Nude shoes not only elongate the leg, but they also pair perfectly with any ensemble. Taylor Swift smartly accessorizes her powerful red dress with a subdued pair of skin-toned pumps to keep the focus on her fashion.
Motorcycle Jackets
An edgy motorcycle jacket can do wonders for your wardrobe. The slick topper can instantly toughen up a casual weekend look or add a nervy sense of nonchalance to a sequined party dress. Take a cue from Jessica Alba and keep your worn-in moto jacket in heavy rotation.
Dry Shampoo
We endlessly envy Lana Del Rey's bodacious bouffant, and know that when we're short on time, nothing saves the day like dry shampoo. One quick spritz and we've gone from limp locks to loads of volume in seconds flat.
Wrap Dresses
Kim Kardashian flaunts her hourglass figure in a winter white wrap dress that hugs her curves beautifully. Flattering and chic, wrap dresses are a favorite among fashionistas of all body shapes.
Wide Belts
Leighton Meester pairs a wide leather belt with a flowy skirt and simple tank for added panache. The stylish waist cincher instantly pulls an outfit together and highlights the smallest area of the body.
Leggings
Sleek and slimming, classic black leggings can forgive a mulititude of sins. They pair well with sweaters, blazers, blouses and more, and keep you comfortable all day long.
Peplum
You don't have to have a perfect figure like Emma Stone to rock this fashion-forward silhouette. In fact, the main reason we love peplum so dearly is because the strategically placed ruffle geniously hides any unwanted belly bulge. Three cheers for peplum!
Red Lipstick
Bold red lips exude confidence, femininity and glamour. As Gwen Stefani can tell you, the crimson color can instantly add sex appeal to any look with minimal effort.
Ballet Flats
Like Olivia Palermo, we rely on our ballet flats as comfortable yet chic options to keep up with our busy lifestyles.
