What do you think the top five basic pieces of clothing a woman should have in her closet beyond und

Purely my personal ideas but I think all women should have:

-Low heeled (1-3 inches) knee high boots - look good smart, casual and can be used for work and parties. Reasonably warm and comfortable but still look sexy.

-At least one fitted shirt. Women of the world would look a lot better if only they stop wearing baggy stuff designed for men, and wear things that followed the lines of their body. It doesn have to be any less comfortable to be a lot more attractive.

- fitted sweater. ditto. you can be warm without looking like a yeti.

- At least one truly fabulous party dress in a luxury fabric that suits your body shape perfectly and makes you feel a million dollars. Even if you only wear it for a meal out a few times a year.

- Something that isn black. Please!! Women hide in black too much and there are very few people it actually suits. When you wear black you fade away into the background - be bold and wear turquoise or pink or red for once. See how it makes you feel. See who the woman everybody noticing in the bar is!

Men I think should all have:

- A suit. All men look good in them - it a scientific fact. You have to pick one that works for you colour and shape wise - but once you found it - your sex appeal somehow increases tenfold.

- Levi 501s. In fact women should have them too. They just the coolest jeans ever. It saves the hassle of spending hours choosing.

- scarf. This may just be a personal thing - but there something about a scarf that I think gives even the biggest beer lout a slightly preppy, intellectual look. It pulls everything together and makes it look like you actually put effort into what you wearing, just in one simple step.

- A shirt that isn white or Hawaiian print. For work something that in a classy colour like blue, or burgundy, will give you a sense of personality, stop you from looking like another faceless "suit" and make you stand out - without being self-conciously eccentric.

- White t-shirts. Worn with the 501 - much classier for casual than anything with a Budweiser logo. It a look that says Marlon Brando and James Dean - and it works however old you are or whatever your body shape.

I have a few expensive handbags and shoes that all have gold pieces. However, most of my clothing has silver pieces (buttons, buckles, etc). Is a faux pas to pair clothing accessories w/silver pieces with shoes and handbags that have gold pieces?

What men's clothing do women think is sexy? Speedo? A nice suit? Form fitting slacks and shorts? Commando? (no underwear), or nude?

There is a clothing store in San Francisco. The owner has devised his own method of pricing items. A vest costs $20, socks cost $25, a tie costs $15 and a blouse costs $30. Using the method, how much would a pair of underwear cost?

Ron Price, a Dallas school board member, has asked the City Council to look at strenghtening a law to go after people who wear baggy pants and expose their underwear. Do you think that councils and schools should be able to enforce a clothing code?

If a woman is serious about marriage to a man, but they live in different states, and the man wants the woman to move to his state for a very good reason, should she allow him to help pay for her apartment rent or clothing, etc. before they are married?
