Top 1o basic wardrobe pieces for teens

1. WHITE SHIRT
- yes, a white shirt. A white shirt does not necessarily mean a school blouse, the one that I've been stuck with and still is because I go to a Catholic School or a classic white shirt that your mom wears in the office.


2. BLACK DRESS
- every girl should have a black dress in her closet. It's great for a last minute invite. You can wear it with heels or dress it down and wear it with flats.


3. TRENCH COAT
- not those classic stuffy ones. There are a lot of trench coats right now that are more fitted. They are now being made in slimmer cuts and more wearable fabrics.


4. DAY DRESS
- it's a great sweat suit alternative. Just wear it with flats and your set.

5. CASHMERE SWEATER
- once you try one on, you'll understand why.


6. SHORTS
- everyone can wear it but DON'T you dare wear this with another revealing piece like tube tops because you will look like you know...
Unless its summer, bright bold colors like yellow and printed shorts are a no no. If you can rock it, go ahead.


7. SKIRTS
- If you are short, the hemline should not hit below your knee.


8. DARK WASH STRAIGHT-LEG JEANS
- a well fitted jeans is essential. Super wide flares and and skinny jeans may be in right now but a straight- leg jeans will never go out of style.


9. BALLET FLATS
- it is a great alternative to heels. You don't need to be in pain to be stylish.


10. HIGH-HEELS
- I don't think that I need to say why... All you have to remember is don't buy it because you think it's cute. Make sure you can walk actually around in it comfortably.
