2. Taking Inspiration from Influencers: Exploring Enduring Looks
From models to editors, influencers have made a name for themselves by swearing by their signature looks and injecting timelessness into their styles. Taking inspiration from these forward-thinkers, here are some enduring looks that will take you through any season.
Opt for Classic Pieces
- Take to sleek silhouettes as a go-to for formal occasions
- Maybe a checkered blazer or an oxford shirt?
- To keep to the classic essence, accessorize an outfit with a classic leather briefcase or bag
Accessories, when in neutral hues such as black, noir or tan, are not only classy but also the most versatile. Investing in a few well-crafted items that can hold up to the test of time and last beyond trend cycles will give any wardrobe a timeless touch.
Go for Tailored Shapes
Tailoring in today’s world revolves around looking sharp. Razor sharp trousers or a cable-knit polo, dress it up with the best leather shoes and a watch. Wear it with a pair of loafers for the weekend or some brogues for a wedding, nothing beats a tailored shape when it comes to instant sophistication.
Work-wear the Appropriate Dress Codes
When choosing an outfit for work, build an arsenal with clothes that are appropriate. Pants, slim-fit shirts and a good-fitting blazer is an outfit that speaks classic for any workspace. To stay weather-ready, layer it up with a lightweight trench or a perfectly tailored overcoat.
3. Redefining Classic Fashion: Embodying Iconic Styles
As fashion trends come and go, there is something timeless and classic about certain looks that have stood the test of time and continue to be popular. From Audrey Hepburn’s signature black dress to Farrah Fawcett’s feathered hair, there are certain trends and styles that have become iconic. With a little creative flair and modern twist, today’s fashionistas can redefine the look and make it their own:
- Audrey circa Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Bring the iconic look to the present day with a fresh take on the class black dress. This classic look can be updated with the addition of some bold accessories and a smart tailored blazer.
- Hugh Hefner style with a modern twist – The quintessential lounge lizard look can be taken up a notch by accessorising with on-trend pieces, like a statement pocket square and classic silk cravat.
- Farrah Fawcett’s feathered locks – Bring the classic French crop and give it a cool edge by backcombing and teasing the hair into glamorous waves. Add a few curls for a tousled yet slick hairstyle that is perfect for everyday glamour.
Fashion doesn’t have to exclusively follow the ‘on trend’ looks defined by high-end fashion designer collections. Instead, use them as an inspirational starting point to create something that’s personal and unique. By adding a modern twist to iconic looks, don’t follow the trends – be the trend!
For the adventurously stylish, classic iconic fashion can be jumped into without hesitation. Choose tailored, well-crafted pieces and combine them with modern shapes, fabrics and patters to create something extraordinary.
With the wealth of iconic styles from the past, it’s easy to build on classic pieces and make them relevant to the modern age. Don’t be afraid to break that old rule-book and reinvent the iconic looks that have stood the test of time.
4. Making a Statement with Style: Honoring Timeless Trends
A timeless trend will always be in style, no matter the era. Whether it’s a little black dress, blue-rinse hair, or poodle skirts – they are a style classic for generations to come. These trends can be the perfect way to make a statement of sophistication, of class and poise, no matter what the occasion!
One particular timeless trend is suited to any age, any culture and any place – accessories. Accessories such as jewellery, scarves, bags, hats, and shoes are the perfect way to punctuate any outfit, and a statement piece can turn an otherwise ordinary look into a vibrant display of personality and style. To make a statement with style, why not try donning an exquisite piece of diamond jewellery, or an iconic vintage hat.
At times, it is the clash of classic and modern that makes the biggest impact. Take a classic dress and update it with contemporary accessories such as statement earrings and a bright, bold scarf; or a timeless suit can be rejuvenated with a modern addition, such as a chic pair of shoes or vibrant necktie.
A classic never dies and timeless trends can be paired with the modern trends to create new expressions of fashion. Go bold – combine classic pieces with modern accessories, and you will have a look which is fashionable yet timeless. Make a statement with style and honor the timeless trends of the past.
- Choose classic pieces such as dresses, suits or trousers
- Anchor them with timeless trends such as jewellery, shoes, hats and scarves
- Make them modern by accentuating them with contemporary additions
- Don’t be afraid to mix and match – a blend of classic and modern can create amazing results
Whether it’s a twist on a timeless trend you can make your own, or inspired takes on a classic style, we hope this look has inspired you to create your own iconic look. The key to being stylish and fashionable is embracing the art of looking timelessly chic. So have fun and show the world what you’ve got with your own stylish and unique look.
