Timeless Fashion Essentials



Timeless Fashion Essentials, are the best investment you can make when it comes to your wardrobe.
It is important to invest in good quality pieces. Timeless classics, are versatile and can be paired with any current and future trend.

Key tips to remember:

1. When selection your fashion essentials, make sure you choose neutral colours. This will give you flexibility in your wardrobe because neutral colours are always in season and can be paired with almost anything.
2. Get the right fit for your body. Great fitting garments poses timeless and elegance (when your clothing's too baggy or too tight it screams outdated).
3. Invest more in classic pieces and go cheaper on trendy items.
Investing in quality will last a life time instead of having to repurchasing the items due to quality issues. Choose pieces according to your budget and what you can afford. Evaluate the cost effectiveness for the items you choose. This step will help you determine if an item is worth spending extra cash or not.
4. Take the time to build the fashion essentials in your wardrobe and choose pieces that works for you. If you are not the type to wear a mini skirt, do not buy a mini skirt.
5. Always have fun and love the pieces you choose, because it will be spending years with you.
