The Constants: 7 Fashion-Person Classics That Have True Longevity
Our wardrobes are primarily made up of three key sections: trendy items, basics, and classic go-tos. In essence, all three play an equal role in helping us develop our personal looks. And while we often focus on the trend pieces (these next-level shoes, for example) and the basics, we wanted to use the next few moments to dive deeper into the timeless items that are the true constants in our wardrobes given their always-in-style, versatile nature.
To give you a sense of the classic pieces our fashion editors rely on, we’re sharing the specific items that have true longevity. As in, those staples that, along with basics, have become the anchors to our signature silhouettes over the years.
Keep scrolling to scope the fashion-person classics, and if you’re shopping at the moment, we sourced inspired items as well.
"My vintage Levi's get more wear than anything else in my closet. The pair I love most has a high-waisted fit with a straight leg, and they're in a classic blue wash that I think will truly always be style. They're one of those staples I'll never get rid of because they're effortless but can make even basic items like a white tee look so cool. In a rut, I fall back on wearing them with a T-shirt and a blazer." — Anna LaPlaca, associate editor"A white or cream turtleneck will always have exceptional longevity for me. Enough so that I've found it worth it to buy them from quality brands like Theory so you can avoid a baggy neck. I wear them layered under dresses, button-downs, and crew-neck sweaters and of course on their own. They add a little sophistication to my outfit. Just add jeans (or lounge pants while we're staying at home) and a nice belt!" — Kat Collings, editor in chief"A plaid blazer is my favorite timeless piece. Comfort is always key for me, so I prefer it to be a tad oversize so it doesn't feel stiff. Nowadays, you can throw it on for a Zoom meeting, but otherwise, it's perfect to wear to work because it dresses up jeans. I wear mine with band tees to give it a little personality." — Erin Fitzpatrick, senior news editor"I can't count the number of white tees I own. I wear them almost every day. Nowadays, mostly with sweats and oversize cardigans. I like relaxed, crew-neck styles the most. Hanes's Nano T-shirt from Amazon is one of my favorites in terms of style, silhouette, and comfort. Plus, it's not see-through. Not too shabby for $6!" — Judith Jones, market editor"I consistently rely on a moto jacket to bring a chic and cool twist to my looks. This Mackage style is my go-to given its timeless silhouette. A quality pick like this is an investment piece, but the versatile nature gives it a strong cost-per-wear value in my book." — Bobby Schuessler, senior market editor"Few basics can be dressed up or down as easily and effectively as a white button-down shirt. (In case you forgot, Sharon Stone even wore one to the 1999 Oscars.) Lately, I've been leaving the bottom few buttons unbuttoned to give it more of a modern feel." — Allyson Payer, senior fashion editor"Nothing makes an easy outfit feel more polished that a classic tweed blazer—whether worn with jeans like I usually wear one or with leggings like I've been getting dressed in at home for team conference calls. While I usually stick to neutrals, this is one piece that is even better in a fun color." — Kristen Nichols, managing editor
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
