While Sarojini Nagar, Janpath, Fashion Street and the local Bandra market will cater to our latest trendy needs, they do not promise a quality life to our clothes. And that’s why we all need some of the basic things in our wardrobe to be of superlative quality.

For instance, owning a good pair of comfortable heels is paramount because a cheap one might snap without a warning. Additionally, a bad pair of heels can contribute to serious back issues as well. So here are some basic things in our wardrobe we all need to spend some good money on: 

1. Lingerie

Yeah, yeah. We know you get chaddi-bra for 200 bucks in Sarojini but hey, you don’t even know if it’ll fit you when you’re buying it. A good branded bra not only ensures quality, but you can try how it fits, see how it looks and then decide to buy. A little bit of comfy support on a reliable bra can do wonders for your body. So you better spend a little extra on it. 

Our pick: La Senza Body Kiss Bra & Invisible, No Show range of panties. 

Couveter

2. Watch

A watch that exudes elegance, class and a little bit of sass. Isn’t that what you want out of a handy accessory like a watch? Then why hesitate to spend some moolah on it. It can either be a simple black strap or it can be the I-mean-business style, solid stainless steel watch. Whatever your choice, make sure it is worth it.

3. Black Stilettos 

Like we said, a good, comfortable pair of shoes is a necessity. Especially if they are black stilettos. They need to be the right height, comfortable and classy. A black pair of heels can do wonders for your outfit. Pair it with the classy blue denim, or glam it up with that little cocktail dress. Whatever your pairing needs be, your black stiletto will always come in handy.

4. Perfume

Now, who doesn’t like some sweet-smelling fragrance? Plus, sometimes our sweat glands tend to go into overdrive, and that’s when we really need some help. So spend a good amount on some perfume, a body mist and maybe, even a deo. 

Standard

Our pick: Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Eau De Toilette Spray 

5. Bags

One statement bag is extremely essential. It can be anything you’re comfortable to carry around. It can be the classy beige or black tote. It can be a backpack or a bucket bag as well. Whatever your style, just roll with it but do remember to spend some good bucks on it.

We cannot stress enough on the importance of quality makeup products. If you’re fond of makeup, we suggest you spend quality money on it. Believe it when we say, a bad makeup product can do a lot of harm to your skin. Now we wouldn’t want that, right?

Pair it with a dress or with your denim, a black blazer will always, well almost always, work with what you’re wearing. If you want to accentuate your figure or want to conceal something, a smooth, shiny black blazer is exactly what you need.

11. Red Lipstick

The main weapon in the arsenal, apart from being super sexy, the red lipstick has an instant mood-booster quality that puts the fierce smile on everyone’s face. Make sure you spend top quality bucks in finding the right shade and the right brand for your pretty face.

12. Moisturiser

First, find the best one that suits your skin. If you have a condition that renders your skin really dry, we suggest you consult a doctor before you buy an expensive moisturiser. For the rest of you, moisturising your skin is one of the easiest ways to take care of your beautiful skin. Be comfortable in your skin, and say no to the skin-whitening ones for sure.

13. Black Pants

Fitted black pants, two-pockets deep enough to hold essentials, ending just right at your ankle – that’s what you want in your perfect black pant. If you can’t find one in any store, we suggest you get it custom made. Trust us, it’s worth every penny.

One jacket to rule them all. We know how much a good leather jacket can be worth, but isn’t that what makes it covetable?
