Fast-fashion is a primary characteristic of today’s fashion industry. This has led to a shorter clothing lifecycle, as well as a short-lived relationship between customers and their garments.
We have to agree that it has become a challenge to buy a piece of clothing that you can wear for long without worrying about its fashion status. However, there are certain types of clothes that have stood the test of time, and have never gone out of style since the time they were designed. In this post, we have highlighted some of these clothes.
Varsity Jackets
Some classics will never die. Today, varsity jackets are becoming more and more popular—making them an icon in the fashion industry. From the traditional Golden bear to the embroidered variations, varsity jackets come in different designs. The most interesting thing is that varsity jackets are no longer meant for high school students. They have become a favorite piece of clothing across all ages. Moreover, varsity jackets are not limited by gender, meaning both men and women can rock in this outfit.
Trench Coat
Trench coats became popular during World War 1, as they were commonly worn by the British Army soldiers. Their reputation grew when Hollywood stars who acted as spied and detectives started wearing them.
Interestingly, this clothing style continues to rock, even in today’s fashion shows. Today, they are commonly worn during the spring season. When choosing a trench coat, make sure that you select one that suits the shape of your body. In terms of colors, black, grey, and dark brown trench coats are ideal for different settings, from casual weekends to business outfits.
Jeans
Originally, jeans were worn as work pants, before they became a sign of insurgence in the 50s. Although many people still wear jeans today as work pants, others have opted to use them for fashion. Also, jeans have become very expensive, particularly jeans designed by renowned designers. But, before buying a pair of jeans, you should note that the fit is essential.
Too tight, too baggy, or too short can ruin your appearance. Even if you don’t like classic fashionwear, consider having a pair of jeans with a classic style. This is something that you cannot regret having it in your wardrobe.
Sun Dress
A sun dress is something that you will need if casual shorts or jeans aren’t your styles, but you don’t want to look stuffy or overdressed. Typically, sun dresses don’t fit tightly around the hips and waist—meaning you’ll have all the freedom that you need during the hot summer days.
The best sun dresses are made of 100% cotton, which is essential for preventing you from the heat of the summer season. Most of sun dresses have a classing design, with bright patterns.
Tuxedo Jacket
Tuxedo jackets have remained on-fashion since 1966. Moreover, they are a sexy substitute for LBD. If you want to rock in this classic men’s outfit without looking overdressed, consider getting a tuxedo jacket with a well-fitting cut, instead of an oversized jacket. Wearing an oversized tuxedo jacket can give you a baggy appearance, or make you look old fashioned.
To get the best appearance, you can wear a tuxedo jacket as a dress, and then pair it with stilettos and statement jewelry. Also, you can wear your tuxedo jacket with skinny pants for that sophisticated, but a relaxed appearance.
Animal Print
For ages, animal print has maintained its classic edge. With this style, we are not talking about that hot-pink zebra or the overstated and unnatural style of fashion print. However, the natural patterns of zebra, cheetah, leopard, and giraffe, to snakeskin and ocelot has a seductive and earthy magnetism, which has never gone out of fashion.
Apart from the exotic nature of animal print, it also acts as a neutral style, with shades like black, brown, and beige. If you want to keep this style classic, consider sticking to the simple and sleek silhouettes. Moreover, you have the freedom to balance a bolder and exotic print accessory with a monochromatic tone if you want to achieve a fresh and modern look.
Black Leather Jacket
Up to today, the black leather jacket has not gone out of fashion. This is a jacket that will give you that killer look for those cold nights when you want to stay warm. Although you might think that the black-leather jacket is too trendy, it provides a lot of versatility, particularly if you are searching for a weekend street outfit, cocktail outfit, or even a formal outfit.
However, you shouldn’t go overboard with this outfit. An asymmetrical profile and a few zippers will work fine. But, things like bling, fringe, and buckles can push this outfit over the edge.
Button-Up
This is another piece of clothing that hasn’t gone out of style—and there’s no sign of that happening anytime soon. You should consider owning one of these shirts, even if you are not a fan of a business outfit. Paring a button-up shirt with a long and breezy skirt or traditional suit can give you a boho vibe. Some modest pinstripes can add some visual interest in your outfit. Besides, solid hues, other than neons, can be paired with button-up shirts.
