STYLE

1. A button-down shirt

Always a sharp layering piece—dress it up or down. Opt for a white or floral one.

2. Tees

Printed, plain, v-neck or striped, a girl can never have enough tees.

4. Tanks

You can wear ribbed ones or camis under just about everything.

>> 5. Skinny jeans

6. Trousers

The wider leg and higher waist is super flattering. Love them in denim or pinstripes.

7. Super dark jeans

Officially dress jeans, but you can sooo wear them with sneaks, too. 

Super chic, and you can rock them way past Labor Day.

9. Black pants

Channel Audrey in a slim, tapered cut. Chic, clean and classic.

>> 10. A glittery number

11. A little black dress

An LBD can go anywhere, from you choral performance to a homecoming dance.

12. A sweater dress

Yep, you can look cute ‘n’ girly in the winter.

13. An A-line skirt

We swear: they flatter all body types.

14. A pencil skirt

Make it high-waisted and have it hit just below the knee. Fierce.

15. A mini skirt

Casually cute in denim for day or totally rockin’ in black for night.

16. Black flats

18. Flip-flops

Cute and comfy for strolling the boardwalk. Be warned: they’ll trash your feet if you wear them 24/7.

19. Cute sneaks

Hello, weekend staple. Non-sporty girls can opt for moccasins instead.

>> 20. Flat sandals

21. Patterned flats

Slip on floral flats and you’ll look like you put more thought into your jeans and a tee than ya really did.

22. Knee-high boots

Flat knee-highs look great with everything. Heeled ones are harder to pull off.

Waterproof and a fashion statement—when else does that happen?

>> 24. Ankle booties

25. A mid-height heel

Shorter heels look just as polished and, um, you can walk in them without practicing.

26. Major heels

We could go on and on about our faves. If you have to just buy one pair, make them black patent. Next on the list is a pair of pink, nude and animal-print ones.

>> 27. Wedges

28. A shelf bra

Just starting out? A light shelf is perfect.

29. Slightly padded

A lightly padded bra smoothes and adds a bit of oomph.

30. A racerback

Racerbacks hide bra straps from outside viewers. Tank goodness!

Look for one with boning on the side and silicone strips along the top and bottom. They’ll help them stay put.

>> 32. The girly bra

33. Sports bras

They keep your breast tissue safe when you’re on the field. Absolutely mandatory the second you start to develop.

34. Everyday panties

Cotton briefs are a comfy option, no matter what. Stock up when they’re on sale.

35. Hipsters

A low-slung pair hides away under low-rise jeans. Say no to panty peep shows!

Fuller cuts work under everything from skirts to sweats.

38. Seamless

Got a fitted dress? Go seamless and avoid telltale panty lines. Phew.

39. Colorful tights

Forget sheer. Dark tights add more life to summer dresses, and bright tights make black dresses and skirts way more fun.

40. Black opaque tights

Fab for when you’re dressing up in chilly weather.

41. Wooly tights

Adds a certain coziness to fall and winter skirts and dresses (though we wear them under jeans, too).

>> 42. Knee-high socks

43. Black leggings

Possibly the most versatile piece in your closet. Rock them under dresses, skirts and tunics.

44. A weekender

A cute bag you can sling from sleepovers to the slopes is a must. Look for something sturdy so you’re not replacing it all the time.

45. A tote

From books to beauty products, a carryall is a cinchy way to haul all for school days.

>> 46. A clutch

47. A mid-sized leather bag

Definitely worth the investment—it’ll only get better with age. Hint: find one at a vintage or resale shop to save moolah.

48. Black structured bag

Dresses up jeans and goes with your frocks, too.

49. Dangly earrings

Ups the flirt factor on your outfit—big time.

50. Bangles and cuffs

A single one looks posh, multiple ones look boho.

>> 51. Statement ring

52. Layered necklaces

Pick one that’s loaded with texture, with ribbons and chains to quickly update any tee.

53. Pearl necklace

Whether it’s real or faux, every girl should own one (or two).

>> 54. A skinny belt

55. A wide belt

Great for cinching over open cardis or a white shirt.

56. A metallic belt

Gives black tops and dresses a hint of shimmer and shine.

57. A statement headband

Adds a bit of whimsy to an everyday ensemble.

58. Scarves aplenty

Perks up outfits throughout every season. Thin cotton ones can be worn year ‘round.

59. A summer hat

We’re obsessed with wide-brimmed numbers and fedoras—keeps the sun off your face and looks a little bit exotic.

60. A military jacket

An olive green number adds instant toughness to whatever you’re wearing.

>> 61. A menswear vest

62. A skinny cardigan

When all else fails, a slim-fitting cardi saves the day.

63. A hoodie that’s in good shape

Nothing ripped, stained or stretched out. They exist!

64. A chunky sweater

In a neutral color like soft gray or off-white, it exudes coziness.

65. A blazer

Black, cropped, BF, pin-striped…snag one that suits your style.

66. A jean jacket

Totally all-American. Great over summer dresses and skirts.

67. A trench coat

Classic khaki is fab, but don’t be afraid to try a bold hue.

>> 68. A leather jacket

69. A wool coat

A black wool coat keeps you lookin’ sharp in the winter.

70. Puffers

Coats or vests—Karen the Editor’s number one pick, hands down.

To keep it most wearable, snag a shade that’s within a couple colors of your natural lip color.

80. Red

Here’s the no-fail guide: Fair skin should go with pink undertones. Medium skin dazzles with terra cotta undertones. Girls with dark should nab gold ones. Done and done.
