Today’s question comes from Christina:

“Ciara , what basics do you recommend someone starting out with?”

Every day I get emails, comments, and direct messages from clients and readers just like you asking me for recommendations on everything from suits for work, to dress shoes, to even hats and sunglasses. I figured it was time to create a timeless piece that you can carry with you everywhere. This guide is here so that you can shop and have something to refer to if needed! These are simply guidelines, not rules. I personally am a fan of breaking rules, but you gotta start somewhere right? Once you have the basics down, feel free to experiment to other avenues (colors, patterns, fabrics, etc).

But for now, check out these principles, and you will be looking amazing in no time.

This style guide will cover most of your bases when it comes to getting the basics covered. But I’m not done yet. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing more style tips and recommendations.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you. Was there anything I missed?
