More women are taking the centre stage these days and are
able to juggle family and corporate responsibilities successfully. “Busy” is an
understatement for such women. The demands of corporate leadership do not
necessarily require women to attire themselves in a masculine manner. Having a handy list of wardrobe essentials for
the woman business executive makes it easier to put together an outfit that is
designed for success.
Building a foundation for your wardrobe would eliminate the hassle of making outfit decisions. The foundation pieces in your wardrobe should be the essential pieces that can be taken as a base for any outfit and enhanced by adding other pieces.
The classic “Little Black Dress” tops the list. The LBD is a useful piece of attire that easily transforms from office to cocktail, and business luncheon to business dinner. A blazer or scarf along with accessories of your choice does the transformation quite easily.

“You can wear black at
any time, you can wear it at any age, you may wear it on almost any occasion. A
‘little black frock’ is essential to a woman’s wardrobe. I could write a book
about black.” – Christian Dior
Apart from the LBD, it is wise for a busy woman to follow the 4-3-2 rule by Nygard. According to Nygard there are 9 basic pieces that are
essential for a very practical wardrobe.
These 9 pieces of attire can be selected
based on your personal colour and style choice: 4 Tops, 3 Bottoms and 2
Blazers or Jackets make up the 9 pieces. Nygard claims these 9 pieces will give you 23
outfits. In the 3 Bottoms, I would suggest you include at least one skirt and a pair of black pants. These will definitely go along way.
Carefully chosen classics will make a foundation that can be used to build upon according to your body type and style statement. Accessories, whether it be jewellery or scarves can easily transform an outfit to suit the occasion or suit your style and they are little pieces that make a BIG impact. Use them to your advantage.
