TRENDS ARE FUN. BUT CLASSICS LIVE LONG IN YOUR CLOSET. SAYS LIZ UY

In a busy life with many priorities vying for our attention—deadlines, getting meals on the table, staying fit—what we wear may not be at the top of the list. But if there is anything that will automatically lift our mood, it's feeling good about the way we look.

In a busy life with many priorities vying for our attention—deadlines, getting meals on the table, staying fit—what we wear may not be at the top of the list. But if there is anything that will automatically lift our mood, it's feeling good about the way we look. Whenever we think that's the least of our concerns, that's actually when it matters the most!

When we look good, it boosts our confidence and helps us navigate our multi-faceted lives better. Shuffling between home and work, chores and socials, family and friends—with traffic, weather and other variables added to the mix—there's nothing like having wardrobe pieces you can throw together without having to think too much about it.

Yet, how often have we started our day, staring into our closets and thinking we have nothing to wear? Celebrities don't have this problem because they have stylists to map out their wardrobe needs.

It's a good thing for the rest of us that Liz Uy, probably the best-known stylist in the country, has just launched BYLZ x Lazada. This is her curated line of basic fashion separates that are anything but basic, and available at online shopping platform Lazada. There's no need to change the contents of your closet, just update your wardrobe with stylish pieces that will give your look an instant lift. "Elevated, chic, and accessible" is how Liz describes her line, mainly in neutrals like black, off-white, oatmeal, beige, gray, and green. There are the prerequisite blazers, tops and skirts, pants, and dresses.
