Nina Garcia gained her knowledge of style from her parents, working in fashion houses and in fashion media, and on Bravo’s Project Runway. In her book, The Little Black Book of Style (Collins, 2007) she says,“…when it comes to style, there are no rules…but there are definite basics.

Clean the Closet then Fill it with Clothing Staples

If a woman’s closet is filled with clothing that doesn’t fit or look good on her body it is harder to be stylish. Weed out clothing held onto for sentimental reasons or because it was a great deal five years ago. Then, look if the closet includes basic pieces that work through day or night, several seasons, and from year-to-year. Work with a personal color palette to ensure that pieces go together.

Garcia suggests the little black dress, a classic men’s white shirt, a cashmere cardigan or turtleneck, a trench coat, denim, a man’s classic watch, diamonds, ballet flats, a classic high-heel pump, and a great bag. These pieces don’t fill a woman’s closet but they give her the basic elements to fall back on in many situations.
