10 Things Every Women Must Own

Shannon Chow · June 2, 2018 · 7 Comments

We’ve all heard about those “every women must-have” essential item. While I do agree with most of them, I tend to go for items that give me an edge to stand out from the crowd. Read on, to find out what are those items. At the end of the article, do share with me your thoughts!

Little Black Dress

Every woman knows she should have a little black dress, but it’s important to invest in one that’s special. Look for a dress with detail, such as frills or symmetry cutting. And remember that finding the right fit is important!

Blazer

Even though I don’t work in a corporate world, I enjoy pairing my casual wear with a blazer. It’s a good investment, if you are just starting out I would suggest getting a black simple blazer, however, if this is your 2nd blazer invest in another colour, such as White, Grey or go bold with Red.

A high-low White Shirt

The High low hem cotton shirt with a relax fit is my kind of lazy chic outfit. It’s extremely comfortable yet effortlessly stylish. This gives the conventional white shirt an edge, pair it with a statement necklace or printed scarf.

Leopard Print Scarf

Print scarf spice up a plain outfit. A must-have!

Red Flats/Shoes

Black is the obvious choice, but red flats provide a pop of colour and work for every season. Pair them with a striped shirt and a trench coat.

Statement Necklace

Accessories can spice up any outfit. The statement necklace can make a simple outfit look strong and feminine.

Classic Trench Coat

Think of this as an investment piece – you’ll wear it forever, even if you fluctuate in size. Look for a classic A-line silhouette that will cinch you in at the waist and wear it with everything from suits to jeans.

Sunglasses

Days when you have puffy eyes due to lack of sleep or you just wanted some privacy, a pair of sunglasses is handy. I always carry them whenever I travel, it’s my blindfold in the plane.

Jumpsuit

Whatever the occasion, the one shoulder bodice jumpsuit will ensure that you look the part – effortlessly.

Note: Lavish Alice is also available on Zalora Malaysia

Red Lipstick

Pull up your hair in a ponytail, put on red lipstick and instantly you look ready for a meeting or a night out

BONUS:

Apart from the Top 10 must-have, I feel that Asian women should own traditional wear. Personally, I own a Cheong Sam (Chinese traditional wear) and Baju Kurung (Malay traditional wear). There have been numerous formal events which I’ve attended, the dress code is Traditional wear. Based on my experience, it’s not easy to find the right one but I’m thankful to have found it and am constantly seeking unique pieces.

Do comment below and share with me what’s your number 1 must-have fashion item. I’ll love to hear from you!
