The Only 38 Classic Fashion Pieces That Matter Now
As a fashion editor, I focus a lot on having a well-curated capsule wardrobe—one that's timeless and effortlessly versatile. This means I buy classic, high-quality pieces that transcend passing trends, giving me a foundation that works year-round. I don't just buy less; I buy smarter.
This month, my priority has been shopping for items that reflect my personal style—sharp, luxe, and classic—while offering lasting durability. Pieces like a beige cashmere sweater, black leather ankle boots, a tailored trench coat, and blue straight-leg jeans are the foundation I'm building from. These essentials, though simple, have the kind of versatility that allows them to mix and match seamlessly across seasons, offering endless styling possibilities.
I'm not stopping there. I've also got my eye on some elevated additions: silk pants, suede bags, investment-worthy watches, and statement pumps. These pieces strike the perfect balance between timeless appeal and a touch of intrigue, allowing me to elevate the most minimal outfits. Curious about the classic staples I've bookmarked for my wardrobe? Keep scrolling.
