There’s no better time than the new year to make sure your closet is in check. Spring cleaning is the best way to start 2017. So if you are holding on to any unnecessary items these pieces are transitional. Here’s a list of staple fashion items to keep.

Bodysuits
Fleur du Mal’s stretch-ponte bodysuit is a chic layering piece. Not only will it keep you warm during winter, but it is so stylish too! Wear yours with anything – tailored trousers, jeans and skirts. This design has a cotton collar, sweetheart neckline and polka-dot embroidered tulle trims that appear to float over the yoke and sleeves.
Oversized Blazer
An oversized piece like a blazer can be belted or tailored. The Row ‘Russo’ blazer is designed without fastenings for a streamlined finish. The long-line silhouette makes it perfect for transitioning between seasons – wear yours layered over everything from sweaters to slip dresses.
Boyfriend Jeans
Dolce & Gabbana takes boyfriend jeans to a new level. These Swarovski crystal-embellished pair are striking. The distressed mid-blue denim sit loose and low on the hips and have a cool studded waistband and unfinished hems. They look great with heels, boots and trainers.
Timeless Prints
Classics such as animal print, stripes, plaid and polka dots aren’t going anywhere. Animal print is one of our favourite. Gucci’s pleated snake-effect leather skirt is a prime example of a timeless piece.
Staple Loafers
Loafers can been worn all year round. They have been a big hit on the runway for several seasons. These Nicholas Kirkwood’s ‘Casati’ loafers are crafted from buttery antique-rose suede – a pretty contrast to their masculine silhouette. Wear these with jeans or a midi skirt.
Lingerie
Keep on trend and make sure your underwear can be worn as overwear. Commando’s camisole is made from the label’s signature stretch-jersey. Made with delicate lace, it is striking and slim-fitting. Perfect worn over tees and shirts.
