One month it’s oversized tailoring and the next it’s something completely different. Before long, you’ll find your wardrobe is full, but you still have that familiar feeling of having nothing to wear A timeless wardrobe differs from this. It is about building it upon pieces that you like, clothes that work well together, and your own style that doesn’t change every time social media does. Begin With What You Already Wear The easiest place to begin is with what you already have. What are you reaching for? It could be a certain pair of jeans that always fit well, a simple knit, a white shirt, or a jacket that seems to work with everything. These items tell you a lot about your personal style, so it’s wise to pay attention to them. You don’t have to start from scratch by swapping out what you have for trend pieces. Keep what you know works well, and make sure what you wear fits your lifestyle before looking to fill any gaps. That small change can save you a surprising amount of money.

A neutral blazer can go with jeans or be dressed up for dinner. A simple knit can be worn tucked into a coat in the winter or on its own during the spring. Even a basic T-shirt can be made to last with the right fit. Colours are important too. You don’t have to restrict yourself to neutrals alone, but choosing a few colours that work well with each other makes the process of getting dressed a lot simpler. The aim is to have fewer pieces that work harder. Think About How It Fits A £30 shirt that fits well can look better than a much more expensive alternative. That is why when it comes to fit, it’s the details that matter more than a brand name or whatever look is popular at the moment. Think about the shoulder, the length of the sleeves, the waist, and the overall length. If something is almost right but has to be constantly pulled up, chances are you won’t wear it. A good fit can also make older items feel like new again. If you have a pair of trousers that are a few years old, the right fit can make them feel as if they’ve been bought in the latest collection. Let Your Style Speak For Itself Timeless doesn’t mean boring! Your personality can come out in your style in the little details. You might like vintage pieces, bright trainers, patterned shirts, or certain types of bags. Maybe you’re more of a minimalist and prefer neutral pieces. You don’t have to copy someone else’s style to look put together. The same goes for fragrance. A perfume can help your look come together without having to wear whatever scent is popular at the moment. If you’re interested in knowing how scent can tie your look together, this post on how to choose a fragrance for your style is a good place to begin Think About Something Else Before You Buy It Before buying something new, ask yourself if you’ll still love it if no one else does. If the answer is yes, it’s probably worth buying.  It’s also a good idea to think ahead. How well will it pair with the clothes you already own? Will you still wear it in a few months with different clothes or in a different season? Can you see yourself wearing it on different occasions as well? A timeless wardrobe shouldn’t be bought in one day. It is built up over time with pieces that have a place in your wardrobe. Give Your Style Space to Grow That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy trends. The key is not to become consumed by it all Make small changes to your style by incorporating a little trend here and there, perhaps with accessories first, a certain colour, or even a piece of clothing. For instance, for something different but still warm and sweet, a vanilla perfume with a touch of sweetness can be worn with knits in the winter, more dressed up for dinner, and still look good with a smarter outfit for the weekends. It’s these little details that make up a personal style. If you still like the look of it after the trend has died down, then it has a place in your wardrobe. If not, move on. Your style should change as you grow as a person. A timeless wardrobe just gives it a solid foundation to rely on.
