Every woman should have just a few wardrobe essentials that are truly indispensable. These are the pieces you will come back to time after time, either as accessories or as basics to build your latest look around. We have lined up five of the most crucial essentials. These are wardrobe essentials that are beyond fashion, truly timeless: the core of every woman's collection.

Often over-looked and yet truly essential, the Tee that is ideal for you is a central piece. We would always choose classic white and seek out the perfect cut, fabric and fit. Cotton is always our choice. You will decide on yours and on whether you are looking for a body-hugging Tee or a looser cut. Take the time to find what is right for you and then stick to it. This may be the most versatile item you will ever invest in.

The key here is quality. Do not go fast fashion here. Remember this bag will carry everything that is needed in your everyday life, from your phone to your emergency make-up kit.

Do not deviate on the colour. Black will always work both for daytime wear and in the evenings. Try a few - and remember simplicity is the aim. Leather will age beautifully, but that is just our view.

Yes, just one. We would not necessarily go over-the-top on expense here. Splash out if you will, but always remember that you want this to be a signature piece that you can wear without worrying about its value. Match the colour with your personal style and do not be afraid of an extravagant, unusual piece. Wear it well and you will add confidence to every outfit.

This time you can spend and spend freely. Great trainers need to look good and of course feel great at the same time. Be careful when choosing, though. A classic trainer silhouette will always win over this season's hot number. Avoid trendy colours - no neon please! - and go monochrome. Class wins over flash every time when it comes to trainers.

So obvious that we have left them until last. When we say "perfect blue jeans" we mean it. Perfect fit, perfect shade of blue, perfect cut. Again, whatever the temptation, ignore seasonal variations and go classic. Try a few before you settle on the pair that really suits you. Remember this is part of your signature style, not just for this season, but for many seasons to come. The very embodiment of wardrobe essentials.
