No matter how many years pass, there are a select few iconic fashion pieces that will forever remain classic. The best part about these pieces are their sheer versatility. It’s a smart idea to purchase these items, particularly because of their staying power. Imagine having a piece that you can wear today, tomorrow and potentially for the rest of your life simply because they’re universally known as chic?
The Little Black Dress
Though Coco Chanel brought this little number into mainstream fashion during the 1920s, women still praise the little black dress for its versatility. Audrey Hepburn made a splash wearing the little black dress decades later in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany’s." This is the type of dress that can be worn casually, to work, a cocktail party or even at a funeral.
Over-sized Sunglasses
Jackie Kennedy made these sunglasses iconic. If a woman wants to look instantly posh under the sun, all she needs to do is slip on some over-sized dark shades. Consider black or brown sunglasses.
Trench Coat
Ingrid Bergman made the trench coat a mainstream fashion staple in the movie Casablanca. Bergman wore a camel colored trench coat that can be worn over practically any outfit. A nice trench can weather any storm, whether literal or romantic.
Birkin Bag
The Hermès Birkin bag was inspired by actress and singer Jane Birkin. The handmade purse ranges between $9,000 and $150,000. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get the look. Find a well-constructed person similar to the Birkin bag and you can easily and effortlessly gain a level of sophistication.
Pearls
Pearls were Coco Chanel’s signature piece. She would wear a long strand of pearls. The advantage of having a long strand of pearls is that you can loop them to make multiple strands.
