Defining the 'classic' look

purly · Oct 8th, 2006, 05:41 PM

I'm curious to see what everyone here has on their list of 'classic' items. The sort of items that a girl doesn't throw out without replacing with another of the same. Items that have been trends for 5+ years and are still going strong.

On my list are:
-black boots
-jeans that fit the bottom just right
-cashmere sweater
-pea coat
-white collared shirt

Can someone add to my list? I know I'm missing a few!

I do love the classic white round neck tees

They used to be perfect for school, and they're equally great for work now!
