Classic Clothing Styles
I’ve been working on putting together a classic style wardrobe for a few years. When I add new items to my wardrobe, I look for classic clothing styles that I can wear for several years to come. I don’t want to have to replace my wardrobe every year. So, I look for things that won’t go out of style. Then, I can accent my wardrobe with a few smaller trendy pieces when I like the new trends.
What is a classic style for fashion?
Classic style often refers to pieces with simple cuts and traditional styles. People who look for classic clothing styles often prefer to skip the trends that are here today and gone tomorrow. Look for wardrobe essentials that will always be in style.
What’s in a classic style wardrobe?
What you have in your classic style wardrobe will really depend on the type of classic clothing styles you wear. Someone who works outside of the home in an office will have different style needs than someone who works at home or has small children. For me, I need a few extra dressy casual pieces for when we entertain and attend events during the holidays. It worked perfectly today when I visited our local Fine Arts Center to see a display.
Typically, it will include basic cardigans, a dress shirt or v-neck shirt, a long coat, knee-high boots in a classic color, dark wash jeans, ballet flats, a light-weight scarf, khaki and black trousers, and a pair of black pumps. In the summer, this would include shorts, short sleeve shirts, a classic swimsuit, and sandals. If you’re athletic or are on your feet a lot, you’ll want to include a comfortable pair of athletic or walking shoes.
You can change this up based on your own individual needs and style preferences.
Which colors are best?
Typically, foundation pieces are neutrals like black, navy, khaki, and white. But classic clothing styles can also include timeless colors like red and hunter green. Of course, you should choose pieces that flatter your complexion. For me, that means brighter pinks and purples rather than darker reds and rust.
Where can I find classic clothing styles?
Appleseed’s offers iconic east coast styles. Their timeless fashions include classic colors with seasonal updates. They offer easy to wear clothes that range from casual to tailored. If you’re looking for classic clothing styles, they really have everything that you could want from dark wash jeans and cable-knit sweaters to a little black dress and classic tweed.
I am so impressed with the quality of the classic clothing styles I received from Appleseeds. Their selection is amazing. They have the perfect pair of jeans and a corduroy shirt to cut down your Christmas tree. But, you can also find a gorgeous dress to wear to your company Christmas party.
What sizes are available?
You can find almost everything that you need from Appleseeds including basic wardrobe staples, jackets and outerwear, gorgeous jewelry, pajamas, shoes, and handbags. They offer clothes in women’s, petite and plus sizes up to 3X in many styles.

That sweater is perfect for our cold New England winters, Ellen! I love it! The pin looks so pretty with it also. The pink coat is my favorite 🙂
Thanks, Brett! They had so many pretty things it was hard to choose!
That pink and gray cardigan is so beautiful. I am glad I got to see it on you, it’s hard to tell from a magazine
