Fall Wardrobe - Top Ten Wardrobe Icons
Taking my cue from fashion mags and fashion history, I compiled my idea of the “top 10 wardrobe must-haves” - most of which have some kind of iconic status in fashion, or are generally considered wardrobe staples). In some instances, I will adhere to the traditional model for the clothing item (i.e. the trench coat, the Chanel jacket), but with others, I’ll be looking to put my own twist on the icon (i.e. blue jeans that are neither blue, nor denim, but do have the jeans top stitching and rivet details).
1. The Trench Coat
2. The White Blouse
3. Black Slacks
4. The Little Black Dress
5. Blue Jeans
6. The T-Shirt
7. The Pencil Skirt
8. The Wrap Dress
9. The Power Suit
10. The Chanel Jacket
Patterns, fabric and inspiration pix to follow! What would YOU include on a list of Top Ten Wardrobe must-haves?

My list of Top Ten Wardrobe must-haves is item by item, the same as yours! Really, that’s a great list, couldn’t agree with you more

Great list.
For myself I would change the power suit into a jeans jacket. I just never need a power suit. But a jeans jacket (like your jeans it need not be denim) is wonderful to combine with other more casual clothes, and I have several in my closet.
