Fashion trends come and go—trust me, you’ll be rolling your eyes at those gladiator sandals and plaid button-ups in a few seasons—but, if you stock up on wardrobe staples, you’ll boast a closet that doesn’t feel like a time machine. Vogue UK has fashion handbook of sorts that features the “Seven Wonders of Fashion,” everything from the sleek and ultra-feminine pencil skirt to the leg-lengthening high heel to the Cinderella-worthy ballgown.

A fun game to play with this article is guessing the fashion item just by looking at the picture. Did anyone else think the first essential item was an alpaca and muppet fur shawl?

Look good with all the best fashion news and views.
