Nina Garcia's Top 10 Wardrobe Staples: the Seasonless Fashion Absolute Must-Haves

 "The bones of your wardrobe are those essential staples that go with almost anything, never go out of style, and are enduringly chic," advises Garcia in The Little Black Book of Style (available at Amazon.com). "They are dependable and perhaps unremarkable, but a stylish woman understands that not every piece is supposed to be remarkable...These ten staples transcend time, trends, and travel. They can go from day to night, season to season, and they can still be worn five years from now."
