In 1873 Levi Strauss launched the iconic 501 jeans, a few decades later Coco Chanel presented the little black dress, and in the 1960s the fashion world was literally taken over by vests. Do you know what these three diametrically opposed things have in common? They belong to the part of the classics that exists outside of time, trends and other external factors.
And given the fact that in the modern world trends change at the speed of light, the desire to stop for at least a second increases significantly. We support it, so today we propose to turn 180 degrees and remember things that will never go out of style.
By the way, if you plan to go shopping in the near future, we recommend using this material as cheat sheet. Believe me, it would be much wiser to first buy timeless classics and only then embark on an endless journey through trends.
plain blue jeans
Although the entire fashion community is now obsessed with baggy jeans and flared models, no one has canceled the classics. Straight-cut blue jeans have remained since they were relevant 60 years ago. Zoe Kravitz, for example, wears them with Vans sneakers and a stretch tee, while Rosie Huntington-Whiteley opts for feminine bodysuits and slingbacks. Either way, it seems very relevant.
beige trench coat
Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Marlene Dietrich in Foreign Affair and Charlie Hunnam in Green Street Hooligans. The on-screen protagonists of all the above actors and actresses are united by their love for this iconic wardrobe item. Sure, modern designers fantasize about cuts, street style heroes, and fashion influencers about stylization, but the gist of it doesn’t change. The beige trench coat has earned an honorable place in the rankings of the classics, so in no case do not write it down, even if you are a little tired of it.
straight cut jacket
Now the design shop is divided into two camps: the first relies on the oversized size, while the second votes for fitted silhouettes. However, there is a golden meaning that you can refer to at any time. A straight-cut jacket will look cool with both loose jeans and a midi skirt.
White T-shirt
Stereotypical but true. A white T-shirt is the foundation of the essentials. We will not even list everyone who created the images with his participation, because it makes no sense. We recommend making sure you have a few good thick cotton options in your arsenal.
Waistcoat
At the beginning of the material, we have already mentioned the effect of this simple wardrobe item. A blue and white striped Breton was worn by French Navy sailors in 1858. In the 1920s, Coco Chanel borrowed this idea and gradually began to introduce the nautical style into fashion. Later, Pablo Picasso, Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, Brigitte Bardot, Edie Sedgwick and even Audrey Hepburn wore the vest. And as early as the 1960s, it became one of the symbols of the new French wave. So the product was literally monopolized by Jean Paul-Golier. Vests did not disappear in the second decade of the 21st century. The iconic models of Comme des Garçons and others are still popular, especially among urban fashionistas.
loose fit shirt
A loose-fitting shirt is another item that will stay with us forever. Therefore, it is not worth saving. This essential wardrobe item will be a perfect match for straight jeans, suit pants or even cargo. In general, the thing is really indispensable, you should take it.
T-shirt-alcoholic
Existing for more than 100 years, an alcohol T-shirt (or tank top) changed from an element of underwear to a swimmer’s uniform, and after that became the main symbol of brutality in cinema in the middle of the 20th century. Despite the fact that “alcoholic” has never lost its popularity, last year there was a real boom. To see this, we recommend that you remember the performances of Prada and Bottega Veneta.
black jacket
Better than a little black dress might just be a plain black jacket. All stylists and fashion bloggers are ready to join it. Although they follow the latest trends unconditionally, everyone has a classic coat model in their wardrobe that does not contain unnecessary details and elements.
body
Zippers have long been an integral part of the wardrobe of every self-respecting girl. Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley loved the basic models. And we understand why. The body is a neutral thing that coolly fits into any look (once again, we’re talking about basic models only). For this reason, the product falls into the category of “timeless classics”.
monochrome sweater
Well, where without a high-neck sweater. Marilyn Monroe paired this with white pants in the 1950s. And Russian influencers simply cannot imagine their life without this knitted item.
