6 Luxury Fashion Staples Every Woman Should Own by Age 30

Your 20s are the time to experiment with everything, right from your relationships and career to your fashion choices. However, as you enter your 30s, you make choices that reflect your individuality. This is the age when you grow a little older and a little wiser. The transition should reflect in your personal style too.

Like a great work suit and a leather jacket are mandatory members of the perfect closet, certain timeless accessories are must-haves in your wardrobe by the time you turn 30. These items should be high-end, classic, and sophisticated.

Have a look at six luxury fashion staples that every woman deserves to own by the age of 30:

1) High-End White Sneakers

If there is one footwear trend that is here to stay, it is the white sneakers trend. Several celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, and Jessica Alba have stepped out in white kicks to prove that the trend is not going anywhere anytime soon.

If you plan on getting these high-fashion trendy sneakers, follow these tips:

• The right way to wear these sneakers is to make sure they are seen. Wear them with cropped denim or pants that end above your ankle bone.
• Pair your white kicks with a black/dark-colored outfit. These colors will make your white sneakers stand-out and give them the much-deserved attention. A pair of black denim and a black leather jacket complement white sneakers in the best way.
• Wear sneakers with fancy and standout pieces like metallic skirts or statement jackets to create a cool contrast .

The most remarkable feature of this accessory is its versatility. A scarf can be worn in a number of ways to instantly enhance an ensemble. Here are a few creative ways:

• Wrist Wrap:Fold the scarf diagonally, wrap it around your wrist twice and tie a knot.
• Cold Shoulder:Fold the scarf diagonally. Wrap around the neck so that the ends face backward. Loop and tie the ends on one side.

Whether you are going for a formal dinner, a date, or a casual day out, diamond studs will never disappoint you. This piece of jewelry has remained a fashion favorite with stars like Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson on red carpets for its understated, yet chic look.

Investing in diamond jewelry is always a smart move. Here are a few factors to consider when buying diamond studs:

• Size:The right size is one that fits perfectly on your ear and doesn’t droop. For everyday wear, choose smaller studs. A pair of diamond bar studs that weigh not more than 1 carat is apt for daily wear.
• Shape:The most common cuts are round, princess, asscher, and emerald cuts. The first three shapes are suitable for women with a thin face. Emerald cuts look great on women with a broad face because they give an impression of length.
• Color:The diamond should look white in relation to the setting. Inspect its interaction with both, white light and colored light before buying. However, colored and colorless diamonds have different grade and value. It is recommended to have an expert assist you when buying diamonds.

Every woman deserves a classic timepiece that she can own forever and pass on to future generations. Like diamonds, a great watch is timeless so it won’t hurt to splurge on it.

Here are a few tips on buying the best luxury watch:

• Start with researching what reflect your lifestyle and personal aesthetics. Watches from heritage brands like Cartier, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin are timeless pieces worth investing in.
• Once you have identified a brand for you, look for a watch with a diameter and case width that compliments your wrist. Watches that are oversized or undersized for your wrist may lose their charm when worn.
• Finally, consider the color of the dial and strap. Choose a color that can be worn with most of your outfits.

5) Tote Bag

Another must-have for women in their 30s is a high-end tote bag that is large enough to carry their essentials and strong enough to stand the wear and tear of everyday life.

Look for a bag that is functional as well as fashionable, one you will want to carry in and out of the office. Choose it in bold colors like red, black, or tan to make the accessory stand out. Women who spend most of their time on-the-go should look for bags with large compartments that can accommodate their laptop, wallet, charger, phone, keys, and a bottle of water.

6) Signature Perfume

By the age of 30, you must have one signature scent that is familiar and comforting. If you feel a certain fragrance boosts your confidence and makes you feel fabulous, go for it. Surprisingly, most of us have been applying perfume the wrong way throughout our lives.

According to the perfumer, Francis Kurkdjian, the right way to apply a perfume is to lightly spray it on both wrists and let the liquid slowly sink in. Spritzing and then rubbing the wrists is not recommended if you want to keep smelling fabulous for long.

Here are a few tips on making your perfume stay longer:

• Apply perfume on parts of your body that are exposed, like wrists, pulse points of neck and elbows. Alternatively, apply perfume on your hair if you sweat a lot because the sweat can mix with the perfume and ruin the fragrance.
• If you want your signature scent to remain fresh for long, buy fragrances that come in smaller packages. Over time, oxygen may come in contact with the perfume and disturbs its composition. Also, store the bottles at room temperature or in the refrigerator to keep the fragrance intact for long.
