The Best Fashion Items and Styles to Invest in for a Timeless Wardrobe

Get more mileage out of your wardrobe with classic pieces that age with grace.

Make it last

Investment pieces are the foundation of any wardrobe, and they work hard for us every day. When considering shedding the excesses from your closet, the staple pieces you own should never be on the list. Even the trench coat your mom gave you 10 years ago, which hasn’t seen the outside of your wardrobe for a while, will eventually have a new season. Just like high-waisted jeans, any shirt, leather, or faux you own, they need to stray.

Balenciaga

Suit up

Tailoring ebbs and flows on the trend circuit, only to always make a comeback. For pre-fall, suiting was everywhere, from Maison Margiela to Proenza Schouler. This is the statement piece you need to leave hanging in your wardrobe.

Bottega Veneta

Straight to the point

The pointed shoe has swayed in and out of our radars over the years. In 2018 when Bottega Veneta was taken over by Daniel Lee, it was all about the square toe. Recently the round toe has claimed that spot, with ballet pumps taking center stage. But no matter what, the pointed shoe will always triumph as a staple.

Etro

The trusty trench

The trench coat is a reliable statement piece that goes with pretty much everything. From its origins of being a symbol of wealth to today being an emblem of simplicity, this is a piece that should be kept with you through the seasons.

Buy now, wear forever

If the fashion industry has taught us anything over the past five years, it is that buying investment pieces is the way forward. Giving into trend-led items is a sure-fire way to have a wardrobe filled with random pieces that you won’t want to wear, or can’t wear with ease. Life is not an Instagram feed and investment-buying helps to create an uncomplicated, more uniform-led way of dressing to ensure we look effortlessly chic no matter what.
