In our forever-changing wardrobe, there are permanent residents we can’t live without–the wardrobe basics. Here are my wardrobe essentials worth the investment:

1. structured blazers; 2. classic button-down; 3. quintessential skinnies; 4. trusty shoes (be it a ballet flat, a classic pump or year-round booties); 5. impeccable coat; 6. badass leather pants; 7. motorcycle jacket; 8. versatile jumper; 9. statement bag; 10. signature sunglasses.

The best part? They are all in today’s featured fashion icons and trend setters.

In Chinese: 时尚易逝，“经典”永存。在我们女人季季更新的衣橱里总有那么几件是我们永远不会抛弃，也最可靠的“好朋友”，那就是衣橱必备的基本单品。在我看来，这10件是每个女人都该投资的：

1. 合体的西装外套; 2. 经典的白衬衫; 3. 合身的牛仔裤; 4. 舒适的鞋子 (可以是平底芭蕾鞋、简洁的包鞋或四季皆宜的踝靴); 5. 有品质感的羊毛外套; 6. 皮裤; 7. 机车夹克; 8.基本款毛衣; 9. 一款可背可提的手包; 10. 适合脸型的太阳镜。

这几件都经常在今天所选的这三个超模（或前超模）的街拍中看到。你呢？你的衣橱必备有哪些？

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
