"Never underestimate the basics. Everyone should own a great white tee, a sexy black underwire bra (I love the fit of Victoria's Secret Incredible Plunge Bra), and a classic pair of jeans. It's easy to build up by adding a belt or a printed sock peeking out."

Shop fashion basics:

Ignore: Skinny Jeans
