How to Pick Timeless Women's Clothing

Everyone develops a fashion style that reflects personal tastes and makes a statement about who we are. Avoid changing your style year to year trying to stay stylish, and save money by investing in a timeless and classic look. Use the tips below to pick clothes that are timeless.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Avoid clothing with prints. Prints change rapidly from season to season. Don't buy flowered dresses, striped skirts or plaid blouses. Stick to solid colors.
2. Wear clothes that are classic colors only. Colors change every season in women's clothing. While pastels might be in style one spring, earth tones can be in style by fall. Wear conservative and classic colors like black, white, gray and beiges.
3. Buy things that have neat and straight lines. A short skirt with many pleats may be in and out of style within one year, but a straight pencil skirt can last forever. A well-tailored fitted blazer can last for years for a woman, while a short and boxy jacket will not. Instead of a trendy sweater, go for a classic sweater set.
4. Keep accessories to a minimum. Don't wear hats, scarves, necklaces, many bracelets or other accessories. Accessories change possibly the fastest in fashion. They can be worn, but wear things like a simple chain necklace or bracelet, a beret or basic glasses.
5. Have some key, basic items in your closet like an A-line little black dress, plain blue jeans or sweater sets. A well-fit white t-shirt, a trench coat or a crewneck cashmere sweater will last for years.
