The Peplum-and-Pants Combo

The beauty of these pieces: They manage to be chic, sophisticated, and understated all at once. Shift tailored black trousers into office-party mode by pairing them with a subtly embellished peplum top: Just add a blazer during working hours. If you want to turn up the glamour even higher, go with metallic sandals and jewelry. For a polished Saturday-night look year-round, try the top with dark skinny jeans and heels.

The Not-So-Basic Black Dress

An LBD has to be one of the best wardrobe investments a woman can make, a count-on-it companion for years to come. What makes this one stand out: Though its body is all about minimalist fluidity, the illusion netting up top adds a sexy note while still keeping the effect demure.

The Shimmery Shift

With its intricate sequined pattern, this dress is a full-on dazzler, yet it offers slip-on-and-go simplicity and a shape that’s easy to wear. Its utterly basic silhouette ensures that it will never go out of style.

The Slouchy Sweater and Pants

High comfort meets high style in an eye-catching ensemble that inverts the go-to jeans/dressy top formula. Here, the sweater is all sink-into-it cozy, while the sequined tuxedo pants add luxe structure. For more formal occasions, pair the pants with a sheer black blouse and a camisole. And, yes, the sweater makes a natural mate for jeans.

The Swingy Skirt

A full cut is almost universally flattering, which means most anyone can give this skirt a twirl. What’s more, it’s surprisingly versatile. Try it with a blazer at the office (supposing you don’t work in a corporate setting). A tuxedo-type jacket is another option for work or a night out; just dress up or down with your top. For a laid-back daytime look, go with a sweater, opaque tights, and booties.
