Top 10 must-have items in your closet, according to Liz Uy

I’m happy to be back doing one of the things I love — writing! This time,  after two decades of sharing with you every Sunday 10 personalities with their insights on one topic, we decided to reformat my column by having one personality giving us a “listicle” of his or her Top 10 favorite things, places, experiences and lessons in life.

I hope that beginning today and every other Tuesday, you will enjoy it as much as I am excited to give you articles that will interest and make you, our dear readers, happy.

For my first article, I chose a common question I always hear from friends: “What are the most practical items we should have in our closet?”

Having so many clothes in our closet is a blessing but it can also be a problem in terms of space. Way back when life was simpler, having a pair of black shoes, sneakers, skirt and jeans was enough. But with easy access to all the malls and brands we love now, plus all the sales and promos, our wardrobe has gotten bigger and maybe has given us more reasons to justify our purchases. We now have sneakers for walking, running and going to malls; jeans for different occasions; and different styles and colors of shoes while our closets remain the same size.

We are proud to see celebrity stylist Liz Uy representing our country in different fashion events around the world. Her fashion sense and influence has been noticed not only in our country but abroad as well. 

We see photos of her in Hong Kong, the next day she’s in Paris wearing the latest well-known luxury brands and in the company of international fashion designers and influencers. You will agree with me that Liz Uy is the perfect person to give tips on what to have in our closet.

Read on to know her advice on the Top 10 must-have fashion items in our closet.

1.Blazers are a must-have especially for business meetings.

5. A denim jacket is a classic piece you can wear from day to night.

6.Statement earrings may be paired with a basic tee for a night out.
