Pieces That Will Never Go Out Of Style
Classic wardrobe pieces that will stand the test of time, we want more of that! There are so many great benefits to investing in timeless wardrobe staples that will never go out of style. For one, if you’re building your capsule wardrobe, having classic pieces in your wardrobe rotation is a must. If you’re not one for the fuss of fashion then sticking to the classics will also certainly benefit you. Plus, isn’t it nice knowing that even though fashion is cyclical, there are just a few items that will always be in style? It certainly takes the pressure off of having to always be up-to-date on the newest fashion fad or style trend that has the internet in a craze.
Now who’s to say that you can’t combine classic pieces with the hottest trends? Not us. We love to mix and match and have fun with fashion, but we do also like to pay our respects to those pieces that we seem to always return to no matter what the influencers say. We thought we’d share a few of our favorite pieces that will always be in fashion and are curious to know if you agree...or not. Up to you, but give this list a good read and let us know.
The Shirt
No surprise here that the classic white button down is first on our list. The white button down shirt has been a classic for both men and women for years and years and there’s good reasons why. For one thing, this item is the definition of versatility. You can dress it up, or dress it down by adding a scarf, a blazer or even a simple accessory like earrings or a necklace. Another reason we love this classic is because there isn’t just one style of white shirt. There’s form fitting, quarter sleeve, three-quarter sleeve, loose-fitting and of course we love to steal from the men’s section when we’re feeling very Diane Keaton-y.
One of our favorite white shirts is this one from Theory. The Women’s Luxe Tenia Button Down is as close to perfect as you can get when it comes to white shirts from its length to its poplin fabric and its light and stretchy fabric, this is the epitome of the white shirt. We also like this interpretation from Paige Denim, the Women’s Abriana Shirt is a loose fitting feminine take on the white shirt but what we love the most are the sleeves whose cuffs are a flirty flare and a fun take on the classic.
The Bag
Marilyn said diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but we beg to differ. We think a purse is a girl's best friend, where else is she going to store all those diamonds? A good leather handbag is our second classic item that will always be in style. A leather handbag, a really good one, can last you years. We have leather handbags that have been in our purse rotation for years and there's a good reason for that: they never will not be in style. Did that make sense? Basically, a leather handbag is a bag that goes with any outfit, whether it’s for work or play. It's a great piece that can pull together any look.

When we think of leather handbags the first brand that comes to mind is Coach. All hail to the master’s of the leather purse, we love this Coach Pennie Mixed Leather Shoulder Purse. This bag is reminiscent of the classic Coach days, when their leather bags reigned supreme. We love how roomy this bag is. It’s perfect to store your makeup pouch, phone, charger and even your planner or a journal. Its relaxed leather and slouchy fit make it a great everyday bag. We also like this Kate Spade Marti Women’s Bucket Handbag for its more structural shape and soft leather. This is another great option for a classic leather bag that can complement any look any time of day.
The Dress
Ahh the LBD: the little black dress. Made popular by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s, this LBD is the classic of classics. Why? We think, just like the white shirt, it’s versatility factor is what makes this style staple so irreplaceable. It’s simple, it can be sexy, it can be casual, it’s slimming and flattering for every woman. Just like the white shirt, you can never have too many little black dresses because you’ll find no two are exactly the same. We like this Women’s Solid Sheath with Chiffon Bell Sleeve Sleeves Dress from Calvin Klein for a long sleeve option. The chiffon bell sleeves and fitted silhouette are very feminine and a great option for a night out. For a more casual look, this Amazon Essentials Short-Sleeve Maxi Dress is a great option for everyday wear. We would style this with a cardigan and white sneaker for a casual style.
