10 Fashion Staples You Need to Own Before You’re 30

Not everyone is the best at picking out styles of clothing or choosing some classic pieces that go well with many other items in the wardrobe.

Here are 10 fashion staples that ideally should be owned before turning 30.

1. An Eye-Catching Pump

A quality pump is the type of shoe that is so versatile that it goes with many different outfits and avoids the need to buy a new pair of shoes just to match a new outfit. The classic look includes a pointed toe, typically in a black color to go with most outfits, from a brand that ensures it’ll last a long time.

2. Lipstick Colors That Match Skin Tone

By the time you reach your thirties, you should be looking at lipstick colors that are less gaudy and match your skin tone better. This avoids the lipstick standing out too much on its own. When knowing the right lipstick color to use, it helps the whole outfit stand out with everything in balance.

3. A Single Piece of High-End Jewelry

Whilst costume jewelry or fashion jewelry can fill the gap in a jewelry collection, it is important to have at least one signature piece that is more expensive and made using high-quality materials.

This can be bought for yourself as a gift, a reward for a project completed or just because… But it is important to have something that stands out as a quality piece of jewelry that you can wear when you need to make a good first impression.

4. Little Black Dress

The little black dress is its own category. Almost every women has one (or five), making it a top women’s clothing item. The important thing is that you feel comfortable in it. There are many different styles and directions to go in with a black dress for all occasions. Pick one that matches your personality so this little number doesn’t stay in the closet all the time.

5. Leather Bag for Work

Whilst you most likely own many different handbags, it is important to have a reliable one that can be used in the workplace. The bag needs to be one that will last the test of time, make a good impression with other ladies, and compliment your work outfit. You don’t want to go cheap here.

6. The Pantsuit

It might not be the thing that stands out when you go clothing shopping, but a reliable pantsuit always has its uses when smart and sensible is the way to go. Every lady entering her 30’s needs to have at least one pantsuit that she can feel comfortable walking around in the office wearing. Whether you call it your “interview suit” or just the one that you wear when you wish to fit in more easily, a professional-looking pantsuit is what you should look for.

7. Luxury Watch

A designer watch with a reputation brand is something that will last over time. Whilst it is possible to pick an array of fashion watches from retail stores, they won’t feel as good or strike the right impression.

Take your time looking at different watches and styles to find the one that will suit your personality and the size of your wrist. Whilst buying a new item for your clothing collection is always fun to do, owning a quality timepiece is something that will stay with you.

8. Travel Luggage

You’re past the backpacker stage when you hit 30. Besides, it doesn’t look that great to travel with a piece of luggage that has clearly seen better days. You’ll need a proper, sensible piece of luggage that you can wheel through the airport without needing to carry it on your back.

9. Your Fragrance

One thing that a woman should have when she’s entering her 30’s is a fragrance that feels like her and that she’s comfortable wearing. She may augment that with other fragrances to mix things up, but she’ll always go back to her favorite. Every fragrance smells unique on the individual, so your fragrance will be unique to you and you may be recognized by it. Choose wisely.

10. Professionally-Fitted Lace Bra

Having a professional fitting done is one of the few ways for you to confirm what your correct bra size actually is. Having a professional fitting done for you can help to make wearing a bra more comfortable in the future. Choose a sexy lace bra that you’ll feel great in.
