11 Garments to have in your closet that will never go out of style

Fashion, as we all know, is a fickle and capricious lady: what until yesterday was part of every designer’s collections, and hanging on every hanger in mass market stores, may have a better life tomorrow. However, there are garments that are always far from all trends and can be important yesterday, today and tomorrow. For example, high black collar or baggy blazers. Even the most faithful followers of the new collections can buy without fear that the pieces will become irrelevant next week or even next year.

O awesome.club studied fashion trends that have survived for several decades and found 11 items that should be in the wardrobe of any woman who wants to be in fashion, regardless of the latest designs.

The fashion for long pants changes almost every year: nowadays mom-jeans are at the top and, tomorrow, lose their relevance, while the skinny occupy the first place. However, classic straight jeans with a regular fit (the waistline extends just below the belly button) never lose their relevance. Universals must be dark blue, without wear of any kind or other “defects”, and also not shortened.

What to wear: classic cut jeans are perhaps the freest piece of clothing in the entire wardrobe. With them you can use any top and any type of footwear, as the style can be different, from a romantic to a country🇧🇷 They easily adapt to any image: the same pants can be different if folded or left completely straight, as well as combined with belts of different models.

The jacket that was introduced in the wardrobe of women, thanks to Coco Chanel, underwent many transformations during its existence. Simple and crossed cufflinks, with and without buttons, to the waist and elongated until almost reaching the knees, black and pink. There have been many variants of this play throughout the play’s history.

However, it was the elongated blazer that invariably suffered in the fashion world, especially its classic double-breasted double-breasted model. As for color, the preference (if we are talking about a universal model) is based on neutral colors: black, white and navy blue.

With what to use: with anything. A pleated skirt and a pencil skirt, classic jeans or the boyfriendwith a blouse, shirt or nothing underneath, the important thing is to choose the right color combination.

Another element of the men’s wardrobe, adapted to the female figure by Coco Chanel herself, and included in the world of women’s fashion thanks, in large part, to Marlene Dietrich. It has already become an indispensable part of the so-called basic wardrobe. In order for the classic model of pants to fit any image, it is worth giving preference to models that fit the figure with a straight or slightly flared cut from the hip, as well as adjusted to the waist, made with fabrics of good quality and preferably in black or dark blue.

What to wear: in addition to the image of a business woman with classic blouses and shoes, this type of pants also allows you to create casual-style clothes. It can be worn with a t-shirt, a sailor and as a warm outfit. It will also look good with bomber coats and jackets of various lengths, including baggy biker and leather jackets.

The “fisherman” (or Aran) sweater arrived in the fashion world thanks to the wardrobe of Irish sailors, becoming a piece not only of men’s wardrobe but also of women’s. These blouses are easy to distinguish from the rest by their pattern, which resembles intertwined ropes, symbolizing fishing nets. “Fisherman’s” blouses, as a rule, are based on nature’s own colors: white, beige, green, gray, brown… If you want to buy something universal, it is better to opt for models in white or beige.

What to wear: long pleated skirts, jeans with any cut (from classic to skinny), wool or denim shorts, classic or fitted dress: all these pieces perfectly match the Aran sweater, reducing the level of its brutality.

Bermuda shorts were created for the British military who were in the territory of Bermuda. Initially, they had patch pockets, but eventually a model appeared without them and became the main theme of the women’s wardrobe. For the model to be universal, it is worth choosing a pair of shorts in a neutral tone 10 centimeters above the knees, with a slightly lower waist, similar to classic pants.

With what to use: depending on the season and material, they can be worn with a shirt, t-shirt, sailor, jacket or bomber jacket. When creating an image aimed at the office, do not forget that the business style does not allow bare legs, so in this case, under the shorts, you should wear skin-colored tights. Shoes are up to you, as long as they are in harmony with the overall image.

Every season, sports brands (and not just them) offer us a wide variety of white canvas sneakers of different designs: from those with a typical sole to the scary models that were at the top of fashion until recently with a hidden platform. It is not in vain that these types of shoes maintain their popularity: you can find them not only on city streets, but also on catwalks. For them to be really versatile, you should opt for a classic model, with laces and a flat sole of standard height.

with what to use: Although white sneakers are classified as “unisex”, they can be part of a very feminine image, as they can be combined with both wide skirts and floral prints and linen dresses. They can complement a denim ensemble, a classic suit and an elegant outfit with a tuxedo. But creating an image with a sporty style requires certain skills, as well as the ability to balance the fine line between good taste and simplicity.

Although a “camel skin” wool coat is considered a classic, it will be more demanding in terms of color combinations. Therefore, if you need a model that complements any outfit, you should give preference to the black, white or dark blue versions. It’s not worth buying a full-size coat, it’s better if it has a tighter look, double-buttoned, with or without a belt, to the knee or a little lower. It’s also better to start with models without buttons, because when it’s cold they won’t be comfortable at all.

What to use them with: perhaps it is one of those rare wardrobe pieces that can be combined with practically any outfit and footwear: turtlenecks, sweaters, blouses, jeans, classic pants, maxi and mini dresses, skirts, boots, shoes and even canvas sneakers. The only thing that is not recommended to wear with a classic coat is sportswear.

This is probably the most controversial item on our list, as they are generally considered to be part of a nature lover’s wardrobe. However, it is not worth looking at the parka from afar, as it has long migrated from mountain walks to the wardrobe of fashionistas and catwalk protagonists. In addition, it is a great alternative to natural fur coats, which are falling by the wayside after being discarded by major fashion brands. As in most cases, when it comes to the universal, it is better to opt for single-color models in calm tones and, even better, in neutral colors.

How to use it: despite its limitations at first glance, the parka can be worn not only with jeans, but with dresses, skirts, complementing boots and shoes and dense socks. Plus, with some skill, parkas can add the finishing touch to more classic and businesswoman styles.

Black turtlenecks came into fashion in the 1960s and have become so popular with fashionistas that they have changed little in the last half century. They were worn by Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, for example, and today’s celebrities gladly wear them. Despite the variety of colors, a black sweater with a “high collar” has become a classic in the fashion world and should be in the wardrobe of every woman of good taste.

How to use it: with any part. Whatever image you choose, whatever style of clothing you prefer, you can wear a black turtleneck anytime and anywhere.

The shirt dress, although reminiscent of one of the most important clothes for men, is the ideal basis for any image, even the most delicate of a woman. Despite the great variety we find in terms of models and colors, those who want to invest in something universal should pay attention to neutral colors with a classic cut, that is, those that look more like a typical men’s shirt, simply elongated.

With what to use: a shirt dress can look good as a standalone outfit and also work together with other pieces. You can wear it with tight jeans, tied with a belt or with unbuttoned buttons, also under a sweater or jacket. The classic shoes, sandals, sport shoes, canvas and even boots all go well with this dress.

Loafers are a clear example of how classic shoes, at first glance, can be the object of a special love for a true lover of dressing well. These, visually, are similar in shape to moccasins, but are distinguished by having a stiff sole, a small heel, and a buckle or tassels. They gained their popularity in the 60s of the last century (thanks in large part to Grace Kelly) and have not lost it until today. To choose a model that suits both a skirt and jeans, you should pay attention to brown or black with metal or leather buckle and heels of classic height for this model.

What to use them with: of course, a variant of a win to win image completed with the loafers will be the working outfit (pants or skirt, jacket and blouse). But if the colors are chosen correctly, the shoes will also look stylish with jeans of any kind. Don’t be afraid to wear them with dresses that emphasize your femininity, as the eventual roughness of these shoes will make the image look even more tender.

And do you, in your closet, have clothes that will be at the top of the fashion world for centuries?
