Fashion 401k

There is nothing more rewarding than a good investment. That goes double for fashion. Too many people, especially in this economically challenging time, settle for clothes that are too cheap, both in price and in quality. They think that they need to buy clothes that are "in" at the moment, but in doing so they spend money better spent on clothes that will last (and look great) for years to come. Which is why today's post is all about investment pieces.

Aaaand... who better to showcase these All Star investment favorites than the All Star supermodel herself, miss Kate Moss?

BLAZERS

Blazers are an absolute wardrobe must-have. They add the perfect touch to any ensemble. Above, Kate gives us three different ways to wear a blazer: creating a single-color line to give the illusion of length without heels; casual dress with a white collared shirt, light skinnys, and boots; and dressing up with a mini, tights, a clutch, and chandelier earrings (her favorite accesory).

CARDIGANS

Cardigans are the perfect casual coverup. When in doubt I always throw a cardigan on just before stepping out. I'd say you should have at least five in your closet: a simple black button-down, something with embelishments (ruffles, jewels, embroidery, ect), an oversized zipup, a short-sleeved/three-quarter length, and one cashmere. Above, Kate pairs her cardigans with two of my favorite year-round accessories: a hat and a scarf.

LBDs

LBD = Little Black Dress. Everyone knows how important it is as a grown-up to actually own an LDB, but picking one isn't always so easy. My advice- go simple and pick something that's going to show off your best asset. If you've got great shoulders don't hide them with sleeves (or even straps!). If your legs are strong, go as short as you want. Above, Kate shows off her supermodel figure in these three body-hugging LBDs.

TRENCH COATS

Trench coats are one of those items of clothing that never go out of style, so having one of good quality is important. Above center Kate models a gorgeous pattered trench while on either side she shows off two from her own closet. Outerwear tends to get beat on more than anything else, so be sure to look for something sturdy. If you have to spend the money on it, do it! Even if that means you'll only have enough for one. That one can do wonders.
