Start with the staples.
“I’m not into trends for people of any age, really. Everyone should be timeless, chic, and sophisticated. Some staples you should have are a white blazer, a cream blouse, and a black sweater; pieces that won’t fade away.” —Ashley Pruitt
Opt for daintier jewelry.
SHOP NOW Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard Single Diamond Pendant, $1,125
“A lot of women tend to wear big statement necklaces and I think that more often than not it looks unsophisticated and cheap. It can make an outfit pop in the wrong way. It’s chicer to err on the side of minimalism.” —Andrew Gelwicks
Get yourself a good bag.
SHOP NOW Tory Burch Lee Radziwill Double Bag, $1,298
“Accessories are fun! While they are of course functional, they can be transformational for your outfit. A lot of designers are playing around with bag sizes—oversized, super tiny. A woman carrying a ‘power’ bag demands attention.” —Andrew Gelwicks

Make sure you’re wearing the right bra size.
“More than anything, it’s really important to have your bra properly fitted. That’s a staple every woman should have in their closet and they should be fitted for it rather than just going to the store and guessing their size.” —Paul Cavaco
Don’t be afraid of color.
“Jane Fonda wore this amazing Brandon Maxwell gown to the 2017 Emmys and it was a huge pop of color. Since seeing that on her I’m so into it, especially on older people. It’s sophisticated and young but not immature or obnoxious.” —Andrew Gelwicks
Buy a white button down.

“A crisp white button down is the perfect piece every woman should have. It looks polished but can be worn running errands, and it can go from day to night. It’s a hero piece.” —Negar Ali Kline
