As a fashion website based in L.A., we’re constantly going to local celebrity stylists for their take on what wardrobe workhouses every woman should own. From our own interviews and ones we’ve read from other sites, we’ve noticed that the same three products are constantly called out time and again. Read ahead to find out about the three key items, straight from the women who style everyone from Blake Lively and Lupita Nyong’o to Tracee Ellis Ross and Sarah Paulson.

“A piece you should absolutely invest in is a perfectly fitting blazer.” — Erin Walsh

“This thong is in the kit of every working stylist and therefore used in photo shoots nationwide. If it’s good enough for supermodels, then I suppose it’s good enough for me.” — Nikki Ogunnaike on seamless Commando underwear
“It is the basis for all of the looks we create. It’s simple, smart, and it’s this little secret that’s available to everyone. It’s rocket science for underwear.” — Karla Welch on seamless Commando underwear

White T-Shirt
