Wardrobe essentials: Green coat | Striped cardigan | Spanx Split Hem Trousers | Heels
These wardrobe essentials are too good to be true!
The business side of the fashion industry has always fascinated me, both during my studies and as a professional. Several years ago, I listened to a podcast with Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, which was always a go-to brand for me as a former Nordstrom Stylist. Fast forward to now, and everybody’s still wearing Spanx, especially workwear and pants. It just keeps getting better and better!
For many of us, Spanx is a household name when it comes to shapewear. I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to imagine getting dressed without a piece or two! Spanx has evolved into a lifestyle brand with several collections you’ll see below. I love their mission statement: “We think forward, and give back. We believe women can do anything. And together, we believe we will make the world a better place… one butt at a time!”
Today’s post is about some of my favorite Spanx pieces that work for everyone. Trust me on this, I’ve helped hundreds of women with these items! For example, their “Perfect” collection truly is perfect. The styles fit really well, and are super flattering and slimming. The AirEssentials collection is ideal for travel or casual days when you want to look stylish yet feel comfortable. And finally, there are the shapewear pieces — all of which I’ve tried or own myself. These are essentials for all wardrobes at this point, and I know you’ll love them as much as I do!

When I was still working at Nordstrom, I asked my very stylish friend and store manager about her favorite black work pants. Expecting her to name a fancy designer brand, I was surprised when she told me her favorite black pant was by Spanx! Needless to say, I placed my order immediately, and have shared them regularly with all my friends and clients. As a matter of fact, just last week my girlfriend wore this pair to the wine event, and many attendees wanted to know what they were! And, here’s the best part: they’re machine washable, super slimming, and available in petite and tall sizes, all the way to 3x. Talk about size inclusive!

Spanx has some amazing workwear pieces. Recently, I wore this charcoal Ponte knit top with the matching flare pant (above) and felt so chic! Other pieces I’ve tried and highly recommend include this sheath dress and this oversized blazer, as well as this navy pinstripe blazer and matching pant (love). And, just this month Spanx launched patterned Perfect Pants – check them out here.

Spanx shapewear … the most important pieces under our outfits
Bodysuit | Lace panties | Shaping tights | Bra | Thigh Shaper shorts | Bodysuit
It’s hard to imagine how we all got dressed before Spanx! The Undie-Tectable lace panties (above) are the best ones to wear under dresses. They give a little smoothing, and they’re also a little sexy with the lace back. Other best-sellers include these shaping shorts, this bodysuit, and this cami.
