enough tees.

outfit.

them in denim or pinstripes.

Officially dress jeans, but you can sooo wear them
with sneaks, too.
8. White skinnies
Super chic, and you can rock them way past Labor Day.

Channel Audrey in a slim, tapered cut. Chic, clean and
classic.

An LBD can go anywhere, from you choral performance to a
homecoming dance.

We swear: they flatter all body types.

Make it high-waisted and have it hit just below the knee.
Fierce.

for night.
On your tootsies: every day...

Way more versatile than you might think.

18. Flip-flops
Cute and comfy for strolling the boardwalk. Be warned:
they’ll trash your feet if you wear them 24/7.
19. Cute sneaks
Hello, weekend staple. Non-sporty girls can opt for
moccasins instead.
>> 20. Flat sandals
A strappy pair gives you a world-traveler vibe.

Slip on floral flats and you’ll look like you put more
thought into your jeans and a tee than ya really did.
On your tootsies:boots 'n' heels...

Flat knee-highs look great with everything. Heeled ones are
harder to pull off.

Waterproof and a fashion statement—when else does that
happen?
>> 24. Ankle booties
A mid-height heel is totally walkable and a wee bit
rocker.

25. A mid-height heel
Shorter heels look just as polished and, um, you can walk in
them without practicing.
26. Major heels
We could go on and on about our faves. If you have to just
buy one pair, make them black patent. Next on the list is a pair of pink, nude
and animal-print ones.
>> 27. Wedges
They’ll pair well with everything from jeans to skirts.
A peep-toe pair is the perfect way to welcome in spring.

Bras to swear by...
28. A shelf bra
Just starting out? A light shelf is perfect.
29. Slightly padded
A lightly padded bra smoothes and adds a bit of oomph.
30. A racerback
Racerbacks hide bra straps from outside viewers. Tank
goodness!
31. A strapless
Look for one with boning on the side and silicone strips
along the top and bottom. They’ll help them stay put.
>> 32. The girly bra
Frilly details fun up an everyday fave and add a girly
touch.
Brooke Scattered Floral Plunging Push-Up Bra, $40, ae.com
33. Sports bras
They keep your breast tissue safe when you’re on the field.
Absolutely mandatory the second you start to develop.
In your panty drawer...
34. Everyday panties
Cotton briefs are a comfy option, no matter what. Stock up
when they’re on sale.
35. Hipsters
A low-slung pair hides away under low-rise jeans. Say no to
panty peep shows!

Got a fitted dress? Go seamless and avoid telltale panty
lines. Phew.

Forget sheer. Dark tights add more life to summer dresses,
and bright tights make black dresses and skirts way more fun.
40. Black opaque tights
Fab for when you’re dressing up in chilly weather.
41. Wooly tights
Adds a certain coziness to fall and winter skirts and
dresses (though we wear them under jeans, too).

Rock ’em with boots, not loafers, to avoid looking
like an old Britney Spears video.

Possibly the most versatile piece in your closet. Rock them
under dresses, skirts and tunics.
All the bags you'll ever need...

A cute bag you can sling from sleepovers to the slopes is a
must. Look for something sturdy so you’re not replacing it all the time.
45. A tote
From books to beauty products, a carryall is a cinchy way to
haul all for school days.
>> 46. A clutch
Makes a total statement for fancy nights out. Just make sure you have a good mani
before you show it off.
Black Poppy Rocker Chick Clutch, $20, pacsun.com
47. A mid-sized leather bag
Definitely worth the investment—it’ll only get better with
age. Hint: find one at a vintage or resale shop to save moolah.
48. Black structured bag
Dresses up jeans and goes with your frocks, too.
