In this chapter we have talked a lot about simplicity in design, basic silhouettes, color and functionality. Below you will find some pics that illustrate some of these design principles.
Nothing beats a simply designed Little Black Dress. These four ladies are all different ages, sizes and heights, but this one same dress works for them all! The simplicity of the design also allows for a myriad of styling options too!
Here are some examples of the basic silhouettes you should be familiar with!

Functionality is all about getting the most out of your wardrobe purchases. For my money, solid-colored dresses and sweaters, along with dark denim jeans, are the best items to give real reward on your investment!
