Fashion experts say that every stylish woman should have a 'capsule wardrobe' - a set of a few essential items for every occasion. The main elements are: a little black dress, the perfect jeans, a leather handbag, a fine wool jumper, white shirt, black skirt, etc. Being stylish is about what suits you and your body shape. Here are three golden rules: • Spend as much as possible on the essential items (your capsule wardrobe) and don't worry too much about fashionable clothes. Buy good quality brands whenever you can. • Choose safe colours: black, cream, white and dark blue. These look smart, and are easy to match. • A simple outfit can be improved with the latest bags and accessories.
