Quilted Bag

First on the list is a quilted bag, an essential among luxury items and designer must-haves. These bags are not only iconic but also tend to hold or even increase in value over time. If you’re looking for a good brand to start with, Dior’s selection of quilted bags are sure to satisfy.

Avoid: The Limited-edition allure! 

These exclusive versions of even classic bags might tempt you with higher price tags, but they don’t guarantee a significant resale value. 

Unless it was in high demand initially, you might struggle to recoup the premium you paid. 

If you’re head over heels for it, go ahead and indulge, but remember it holds more value to you than to a second-hand buyer.

Sunglasses

Next up are sunglasses. They offer an affordable way to instantly elevate any outfit and create an expensive look. If you’re going to invest in a single pair, opt for a classic shape with a subtle logo, as logo trends can come and go.

Avoid: Designer and/or tinted shades that don’t offer the right level of eye protection.

Don’t fall for the pricey shade trap! Expensive designer sunglasses don’t automatically guarantee optimal eye protection.

It’s all about blocking 100% of those harmful UVA and UVB rays, regardless of the price tag.

And here’s the scoop on tinted lenses: darker doesn’t mean better! Forget the myth that deeply shaded or designer shades are superior for eye safety. 

The real deal? Ensure your shades provide 100% UV protection, whether they’re polarized, amber, polycarbonate, or even from the drugstore. That’s the key factor that truly matters.

Black Pumps

Classic black pumps are another must-have designer investment. They are versatile enough to be worn for work, dinners, with jeans, or dresses. Black pumps are timeless and can be worn in any season, making them a wardrobe staple.

Avoid: Painful heels!

Discover a pair of designer heels that tick all the boxes: they’re stylish, comfortable, and simply irresistible.

Say goodbye to the agony of painful heels that dampen your joy! When you invest in footwear, make sure it’s a source of beauty and confidence, not misery. 

Don’t miss out on the perfect pair that you’ll regret not buying!

Timepiece

A luxury watch is definitely a piece to consider adding to your wardrobe. While there are countless watch brands out there, you have to choose the ones that offer both quality and fashionable designs for all tastes. 

Investing in a watch is particularly beneficial if you wear one every day, as it offers an excellent cost per wear.

Avoid: A Watch Without Thinking About Servicing Costs

Watch out for the hidden expense: the one you didn’t factor in for servicing costs! 

High-end watches often require servicing every two years, and the price tag for these maintenance sessions can be surprisingly hefty, depending on the complexity of the watch. 

Be cautious, or you might end up with a bill almost as pricey as the watch itself. Don’t let unexpected expenses ruin the timepiece thrill.

Scarf

Now, let’s talk about scarves. They’re not only stylish but also practical designer must-haves. 

Scarves serve multiple purposes, from keeping you warm on freezing planes to serving as hygienic alternatives to airline-provided blankets. 

Look for a color that complements most of your clothing to maximize versatility.

Avoid: Exotic colors

Avoid going overboard with extravagant colors when choosing a scarf. Remember, a unique scarf already grabs attention on its own around your neck, so there’s no need to overemphasize it further.

Wearing a vibrant and mismatched scarf that doesn’t complement the rest of your outfit is like adorning your neck with Christmas lights—a bit too flashy! Keep it stylish and balanced instead.
