- a well-fitting white shirt that buttons up all that way without "popping" (moreso for bustier ladies).
- a dark coloured blazer: black or navy - or both; different weights for different seasons.
- a warm wool or cashmere coat; dark colours are more eternally stylish but I do love a red or mustard

I tend to go for a length that hits mid-thigh.
- leather jacket in a classic style; one in black, one in tan.
- well-fitting jeans in dark denim and black; slightly high-waisted creates a more classic silhouette than low-rise. Find a cut that suits you

- skirts: fitted high-waist-knee-length and A-line at mid-thigh, knee and midi length.
- variety of hosiery!
- leather boots: riding, ankle, heeled
- killer stilettos
- large leather tote/carry-all; again, timeless style and one that you can put your life in that goes with everything

- small evening bag
- flattering dress; not too revealing but eternally sensual

- I love a good, classic hat - I love 1920s cloches, 1960s wool floppy hats, little straw hats... They can add a dressy element to an outfit, if used the right way

- be well-groomed

- perfume! Complete the outfit with the right kind of lingering scent
(NB: leather can be replaced by faux or other materials, if and when required
