There are the kind of clothes that you’re tempted to toss as soon as the season changes, and then there are those that continue to retain their relevance even after several years. The latter is what forges the foundation of an ageless closet. How do you identify such styles? Typically, most garments which you’re unlikely to discard for decades, have a few key characteristics in common. They are crafted using long-lasting materials, they have repeat value and, above all else, they transcend trends and time–you know you’ve found an investment piece if it could potentially be shared with a family member who belongs to a different generation. Some examples include a classic white button-down, a timeless trench coat, and a versatile LBD that can be dressed up or down. Ahead, to help you get started, we’ve put together what we’d like to call the ageless edit. Scroll down and shop items you’ll wear and love for a long time.
