Never Wonder What To Wear Again

These five key pieces (which may already be in your closet!) will speed up your decision-making and transform your look. Each is super-flattering-and perfect for casual moments and nights out too.

This sharp piece of tailoring has outfit-altering effects: It can smarten up a T-shirt and jeans in a snap, and when belted, the look shifts from take-me-seriously to downright sexy. Camel, our new go-to neutral, looks fresh against black and white, and also pairs well with vibrant hues.

Certain silhouettes go in and out of fashion, but a great shift is always au courant. Right now crimson is heating up the classic cut. Go cute but casual with strappy sandals and barely there makeup, or slip on a jacket for a more formal affair. (Bonus: In this bold color you don't need to load up on accessories.)

This lean silhouette-it should be body-skimming but not too tight-can take you from 9 to 5 and well beyond. To keep it from looking too conservative, lose the jacket and roll up your sleeves. Amp up the cool factor with poppy-red lips and chunky shoes. At night don't be afraid to wear a top that shows a little skin.

You do own a white blouse, right? Dig it out and get started! Buttoned all the way up and topped with a ribbon bow, it plays off the menswear vibe in a flirty new way. Paired with an evening skirt (collar popped and sleeves pushed up, natch), it's the epitome of cocktail party chic.

Sure, they're super-comfy and have a flattering fit, but these aren't your average jeans. The cobalt hue, which is like regular denim but with a jolt, gives them a more sophisticated look. Combined with ankle boots and lots of layers on top, they're your new weekend uniform. Add a statement accessory for date night.
