A covetable, curated wardrobe is really one that’s filled with things you truly love, and that can last you a lifetime.
A covetable, curated wardrobe is really one that’s filled with things you truly love, and that can last you a lifetime. Here, three HW tribe members share their buy-now-heart-forever items, plus styling tips that make them worth every cent.

"Blazer, $159, Mango"
1 Yellow complements my skin really well! And wearing a blazer with a pop of colour is perfect for meetings with creatives or for a major event. I’d pair it with diamond earrings, heels and a cuff.
"Earrings, $550, Chanel"
2 These earrings are a go-to staple in my wardrobe. I absolutely love Chanel’s classic round clip-on earrings. I’m constantly searching for its vintage clip-on earrings as they never go out of style. I wear them nearly every day as they look great with any outfit.
"Cuff, $410, Monica Vinader
3 This minimalistic design goes with everything: dresses, gowns, casual wear, formal wear… the list goes on!
"T-shirt, Celine"
4 I love the versatility of a structured T-shirt that can take you from day to night. You can easily dress it up with a pair of heels and a leather skirt, or dress it down with a pair of thrift store jeans and Gucci Princeton loafers.
"Sunglasses, $452, Miu Miu"
5 Shades are a must have! It can make anything you wear look extravagant. I love oddly shaped ones, especially when paired with a suit and heels.”
"Loafers, Gucci"
6 I’ve had my Gucci loafers for nearly five years and they still look fabulous. For the office, I’d pair them with black ankle-length trousers, a turtleneck, and a Gucci belt. While travelling, I’d pair them with a comfy T-shirt dress and Celine bag.
"Dress, Celine"
7 There are many ways to style this and places to wear this to: a nice dinner with my man, brunch with the girls, art show opening etc. I’m picturing it with furry high-heeled sandals, a huge red slouchy clutch, black flip-flops, black granny underwear, messy just-got-out-of-bed hair, and a fringed Chinese shawl draped over my shoulders.
"Watch, Tiffany & Co."
8 This watch is a definite eye-catcher and is suitable for both day and night. I’d style it with a black jumpsuit and heels.
"Bag, $8,500, Celine"
9 I love a classic with a twist. This is totally rock and roll, and can spruce up any outfit. I’d pair it with black boots and a little black cocoon dress if carried as a clutch, and with denim shorts, Converse high-tops and a tulle blouse if worn as a cross-body.
"Sandal, $73.90, Billini at Zalora"
10 I love comfortable shoes and these look so casual yet classy. Wear with a romper, a watch and a cotton sling bag.
"I’d wear this on stage, with my Flying V electric bass, ratty Vans shoes, and fuchsia pink lips, while sending up a sonic assault."
Dress, Miu Miu
11 This really brings me back to the ‘90s Grunge and Riot Grrrl era of Bikini Kill, Babes in Toyland, Hole. That’s the music of my time and the music that changed my life. This was when women were rebelling against their good-girlnext-door stereotype by wearing pretty little dresses with smeared lipstick and greasy hair, and subverting the male hegemonic power structures within the rock music industry.
"Skirt, $3,200, Louis Vuitton"
12 I’m obsessed with A-line miniskirts as they have a timeless silhouette that will carry you through multiple seasons. I’d style it with a celine T-shirt or fitted black turtleneck and classic Chanel clip-on earrings.
