While a statement-making stiletto or a lace cocktail dress will always have a place in our closets (and hearts), there are certain pieces that we reach for time and time again. They’ve outlasted the fads, continue to nail the cost-per-calculation and make day-to-day dressing infinitely easier. Yep, we’re talking about those tried-and-true wardrobe staples that’ll last beyond one season.
And as you reassess your wardrobe for the cooler months, there’s no time like the present to stock up on these essentials. From a tailored blazer to a sleek, ankle-grazing trouser, these are the styles you’ll want to buy and hold onto for years ahead.
