Basics Are More Important Than Trends

Trends come and go. Basics stay forever.

A white t shirt never goes out of style. A good pair of jeans never goes out of style. A leather jacket never goes out of style. These items form the foundation of a wardrobe.

The problem is that people spend money on trendy pieces and ignore basics. They have six party tops and nothing to wear on a normal day.

Invest in basics. The best quality white t shirt you can afford. Jeans that fit perfectly. A coat that makes you feel like a million dollars.

Then add trends sparingly. A trendy bag. A trendy color. A trendy accessory. Small doses that update your look without breaking your wardrobe.

The ratio should be 80% basics, 20% trends. That gives you a stable foundation with room for fun.

The most stylish people understand this. They look timeless because their foundation is solid.
