Pancua's thread about changing up her style got me thinking about wardrobe staples. What is one thing in your wardrobe that you think is so essential that every woman should have one in theirs?

My must have?

BOOTS!

Every woman needs at least one good pair of boots. There are so many styles of boot to match your personality and I say you should wear them all year round. They go with nearly everything, jeans, skirts, dresses, (maybe not shorts..)

Right now I'm on a cowboy boot kick. I have 4 pairs short ones, tall ones, all square toe with a short heel. I wear them to the barn and with skirts and dresses. I get lots of complements on them, so I wink and say, "well, you never know when you might need to ride something.."

For me, bras. Even the best of clothes will look like crap if your bra doesn't fit properly. Also pairing the correct bra with the correct clothes. A shirt that is smooth and plain should not be worn with a bra that has heavy embroidery/sequins or worse, a different color!

But that last one may be more a pet peeve than anything else.

 
I agree! For me it's about undergarments. Every woman needs to get properly fitted for not only the right size, but the right style of bra. And too, spanx and slips need to be additional investments. A gorgeous outfit can look horrible if there are bulges and lumps and rolls and sagging underneath.

 
Ooh good choices! and cute little anecdote with the boots!

I would say for me it's always been crucial to have at least one pair of comfortable flat shoes that can be dressed up or down- and fit in your purse (mine just barely fit!) My special flats have been my go-to for the airport and have been by my side every time I go out. :]

I still haven't mastered figuring out where I'm going to put my heels when I switch out, I hate carrying big bags but I do bring them when I assume I'll need to switch. :]

 
Oh, girls, I have really fallen down in the bra department (ha ha..) I gave up wearing bras a few years ago. Too uncomfortable; and I don't know if I could go back to wearing them. Once in a while I put one of my old underwire viking-style cannonball deflecting chest plates and wonder how I wore them for so many years.

Don't panic, I do wear something, its just those stretchy thingies..or sport bikini tops like TYR or sport bras. The other reason I wear these is I feel chubby with big tits pointing everywhere. I feel I look slimmer when I got em squashed under some spandex. I know its a little crazy.
 

I certainly can't understand why women get them made BIGGER!

 
Were you ever fitted for a bra? I found bras really uncomfortable until I was fitted and found out I was wearing the wrong size and style. Once I got the correct for me style, I found myself forgetting I even had it on.

Yeah, I tried that. I used to wear Wacoal bras, the fit nicely and also look nice, but still I don't like scratchy things on my back and I need at least 3 hooks back there for support..2 just won't cut it. I know, maybe a front closure? eh, forget it. I give up. Even with a front closure, I still have to have underwires to keep em looking forward and not sideways. I find that now I almost never have to pull or adjust myself where as before I was always yanking at the darn thing..
 

 
For me its jeans. They can go from casual to dressy. You gotta love em!! But be sure they are in Your size and not your DREAM size.

 
I'm obsessed with high heels, but I know they're not for everyone, so I would say flats

I second this! I know Tory Burch Reva flats are expensive, but they are such a great investment.  And with these, you don't really need to switch out into heels - they are elegant as they are and go with a variety of outfits (from your favorite skinnies and T to a sweet sundress). 

 
I have several: a good pair of jeans, a nice cardigan and an awesome pair of HELLS  uh - I mean heels! lol

 
A regular nice white t shirt. It's crazy how had it is to find one that fits properly and can be dressed up or down.

A comfortable dress you don't need to wear a bra with for days when you just feel like free boobing it

 Lol! I wish I could boob it out.  I'm too top heavy to get away with it.

Let's just say that when I'm in a bar and some dude wants me to "show what I've got", I reach down and roll up my pants leg....
