Do you know what it actually is? Mmmh, it's the one that is not subject to trends, changes or even time. These are pieces in your wardrobe that you can wear for years, and it's impossible to tell how old they are or which year or season they are from. Because they are always worn and will continue to be worn.
It's absolutely great to have such pieces in your wardrobe. You can rely on them and they always work. We almost all know and recognise them, so I'll only remind you in passing that they include the white shirt, a quality woollen coat, a cashmere jumper, a polo neck, black leather boots, well-fitting jeans and the LBD. (Little black dress, or in Slovak "malé čierne" šaty.)
Today I'll show you how to put together a trendy outfit from absolutely non-trendy, i.e. timeless, pieces. The basis for this striking outfit is a classic-cut woollen coat from Promod. This coat "fitted" me so well in cut and in material composition that I have it at home in several colours. I decided to complement it with the plainest black cashmere polo neck, black suede boots from CCC that I've been wearing for the second season, and jeans. Classic, slim-fit ones. If I wanted to liven this outfit up more and make it HOT trendy, I'd reach for high-waisted jeans. Whatever jeans you wear, unless you are size 44+, definitely wear T-shirts, jumpers and also tops tucked into your trousers this season. Add a nice belt, and to the coat I matched a bold red lipstick, Le Phyto Rouge by Sisley Paris, and you're done. It's all about the fact that even those classic pieces can be worn in "new" ways; you don't need a new wardrobe. I hope you like today's outfit and that you surely have the same clothes at home in your wardrobe too. So, will you try it?
