Even If They Tried, These 7 Outfits Could Never Go Out of Style
Given the sheer speed of today's trend cycle, keeping your outfits feeling current and exciting can be hard and time-consuming. That being said, chic, anti-trend staples that likely already reside in your closet can easily be combined into unfailing formulas that will never go out of style.
These ageless combinations have stood the test of time because they are rooted in simplicity, versatility, and classic elements. Basics such as jeans, blazers, button-downs, trousers, and T-shirts add longevity to every look. Plus, there's always the opportunity to pepper in trend-forward accessories to add spice to any ensemble.
Rounded up below are seven outfit equations that never fail.
Button-Down Shirt + Jeans
Every good wardrobe needs the quintessential white button-down shirt and classic denim, making this outfit an easy go-to. While it may seem simple, adding a variation of accessories can keep it feeling fresh time after time.
Tank Top + Trousers
A high-quality tank top is the base of any good, long-lasting look. Pairing it with tailored trousers will create dimension while keeping your outfit classic and sharp. Then, for the best part, add a cool belt and bag to drive the look home.
Trench Coat + T-Shirt + Trousers
This perennial outfit formula is perfect for transition dressing. A striped T-shirt can be swapped for a solid, but the stripes add a playfulness to this otherwise neutral look. And, of course, a trench coat and trousers are as timeless as they are versatile.
Denim Shirt + Jeans
The fact that Canadian tuxedos were established as early as the 1950s and are still as relevant and cool today is one hell of a feat. Any denim-on-denim combinations strike an enduring, effortless chord.
Blazer + Jeans
The blazer-and-jeans combination works for so many occasions. Whether you choose to layer a tank top, T-shirt, or button-down underneath your favorite blazer, this outfit will always look elevated and up-to-date. Your shoe and bag choice can alter these typical basics for work or play.
Blazer + Slip Dress
A good black slip dress is a foolproof foundation for building a look. Tossing on an oversize blazer and boots will only level up that ensemble. Top it off with a fun handbag and accent jewelry.
