TORONTO — There are five things every women should have in her closet, according to Nicky Hilton.
“A black dress, black blazer, black denim, black pumps and black flats,” she said.
“They look good on every woman. It doesn’t matter your shape or size. They’re never going to go out of style.”
During an appearance Wednesday on Global’s The Morning Show, the 30-year-old fashionista shared tips on filling the ideal closet.
Hilton said women need three outfits for the most common occasions — day casual, business attire, and special events — as well as six clothing staples and five basic accessories.
It’s what Hilton calls her “365” formula.
“If you stick to this formula while you’re out there building your wardrobe each season, it will ensure that your closet is full of on-trend items and must-haves that you’re actually going to wear,” said Hilton.
Her new book, 365 Style, is packed with advice.
“I’ve loved fashion since I was a little girl. I feel like I’ve been immersed in it my whole life,” said the former model and designer. “I’ve learned a lot and I’ve seen a lot.”
Hilton said fashion exists on hangers, not bodies.
“Fashion is what you buy. Style is what you do with it,” she explained.
“Anyone with a credit card can go buy a designer dress. To me, that’s not style. Style is how you paint that dress with accessories and style it to make it yours.”
And don’t spend too much time thinking about what’s trendy, Hilton said.
“There are a lot of trends I stayed away from this summer,” she admitted. “I am not down with the harem pants.
“Just because it’s a trend doesn’t mean you have to wear it.”
