Fashion is ever changing. We retain the classics such as the LBD and white shirt and mix them up with the current trends. But that list of classic items needs to be updated. I’m listing the 5 new current items you ought to own in your wardrobe!

1) The Day Clutch

Why should this be restricted only for the night? Switch things up a bit by opting for a large envelope clutch instead of a handbag. It’s a perfect accompaniment for a brunch date. Choose a bright pop of colour or for double duty a neutral one.

2) Gold-Rimmed Aviators

Yes, aviators are deemed to be a classic but choose the gold rimmed variety. Not only does it scream glam it’s also perfect for our skin tone. Talk about more mileage.

3) The Sequinned Blazer

Forget the boyfriend blazer, the sequinned jacket is something you ought to own in your wardrobe. With sequins becoming a lot more acceptable to wear during the day – this piece can easily  take you from day to night.

4) Skinny Belt

I personally love skinny belts. I wear them all the time. From neon to classic blacks I own them all. Pair 2 or 3 skinny belts to create a waist-cincher  or wear them solo.  This patent gold one from Mango is my next buy.

5) Tote Bag

If you had to invest in a designer bag choose a tote. This hold-all can carry your entire arsenal and still look stylish.
