Curate a Collection of Timeless Fashion Items
Ever thought of compiling your very own collection of timeless fashion items that you can wear time and time again? Here are my tips on how to shop wisely for classic vintage pieces that will never date and how to avoid wasting money on vintage fad trends.
We are now living in a time when our society sees the importance of sustainable fashion and upcycling clothing we already own. You don't have to be a raving fan of vintage clothing to see the importance and the fun in growing your own capsule collection of evergreen clothing items and accessories.
Making the decision to invest in some timeless fashion items is one thing. You’ve perhaps watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s or seen a documentary about Chanel’s iconic style and now you feel like you want to delve into the chic world of vintage. It is one thing to dream about an effortlessly vintage wardrobe, full of classic timeless items that have a great story behind them. It is another thing to curate a shopping list that corresponds with the image in your head of what you’re looking for, whilst simultaneously resisting the urge to get distracted in the midst of your search.
As you build your collection of timeless fashion items, you can subtly add in on-trend pieces to your wardrobe. Don't get hung up on buying into fashion trends, especially if you don't know how to style them. But there are some fashion pieces that double up as on-trend items and classic, timeless garments. Loungewear sets have become increasingly popular recently and it's easy to see why. Although loungewear has become a fashion trend on its own, loungewear sets are practical and suitable for everyday wear. So even if you do buy into this trend, chances are that you will get plenty of wear out of your stylish loungewear purchase. Tops and t-shirts are another great investment. The classic white tee is so underrated and you can easily switch things up by adding trendy slogan tops to your collection to differentiate your appearance a little! Finally, we all know that the little black dress is a wardrobe staple. However, from time to time you might want to update your LBD with different styles of dresses, such as velvet, floral or with a bold prints.
