1. Black blazer

Every woman should have a nice, tailored black blazer for job interviews or unexpected court appearances. A black blazer is great to dress up an outfit and look a little more professional.

2. Black skirt

Possibly to match the aforementioned blazer and create a nice suit. A midi-length pencil skirt that isn’t too skin tight, but isn’t matronly is a must-have for those times when you can’t find anything to wear, or you have to look professional.

3. Black evening dress

A must-have for when you are unsure of the dress code as one can never be under or over dressed in a little black dress. Perfect for spontaneous nights out or a romantic date, the black dress is also slimming and striking while looking sophisticated.

4. Black heels

A pair of plain black point toe or patent black pumps should be in every woman’s closet. Job interviews require nice, polished and clean shoes and you don’t want to attend in your platforms. Little black heels can also be worn to funerals and business meetings where anything higher would be inappropriate.
