Lately, I've noticed an uptick in the number of classic outfits landing on the fashion set. I attribute it to the impact the pandemic has had on our closets—fewer occasions to wear trendy items and a larger focus on buying great staples and investment pieces. But that isn't to say that trendy fashion is fading away. Micro miniskirts, oversize leather jackets, Y2K style, high-impact colors, and a fresh crop of micro-trends are in full force for spring.

No matter where you land on the trend-adoption spectrum, though, it's always a great idea to have an arsenal of timeless looks on standby. With a small collection of wardrobe capsule pieces, you can create a number of polished, easy looks that work season after season. It all comes down to some simple styling ideas. Ahead, see the best classic outfits to wear now.

These closet staples are the perfect pieces to throw together, no matter where you're headed. Try the outfit with loafers, as spotted here.

If you prefer ballet flats over loafers, here's another great blazer look to replicate.

Crew-Neck + Midi Skirt + Knee-High Boots + Outerwear

This midi-skirt outfit feels so fresh, yet I keep seeing it pop up everywhere. It's a great way to style knee-high boots if you're looking for an alternative way to wear them.

I like the idea of mixing up the outerwear between a trench or a biker jacket—each lends a completely different mood to the look.

Sleeveless Turtleneck + Trousers + Heels

Sleeveless turtlenecks are having a moment but are the '90s staple that will never go out of style. This look couldn't be simpler or more perfect.

It doesn't get easier—or chicer—than this.

Slip Dress + Blazer + Heels

For an evening look, opt for a satin slip dress, then throw on a blazer and heels to finish the outfit. The jacket adds a great tailoring element to pull it together.

Keep it simple, but play around with patterns and textures.

Just add retro sneakers for a casual yet pulled-together look.

Double denim never goes out of style. Pair a denim shirt with jeans, then add black boots.

Yet again, button-downs prove their versatility. Add trousers, sunglasses, and a watch and you're ready to go.
