In January, we set ourself a task: to write a story about a timeless, classic fashion item for every day of the month. The items could be from the high street or the most exclusive luxury fashion houses, but all had to fit with some criteria. One, they are exceptional quality. Two, they are timeless and will be a worthwhile addition to any wardrobe. Three, all of our editors agree they are the best of the best.
We have written about some truly special investment pieces, such as Chanel pumps, Max Mara coats and Cartier watches worn by royalty, diving into the history of the items, the icons that have worn them and how you can buy them today. But we also were keen to show classic items that don’t have a heritage background, such as a blazer from & Other Stories which has been one of the top-selling items on Who What Wear for years and an Arket T-shirt we believe is legendary. So grab a cup of tea and get ready for a quick run-through the 31 items which we will never ever stop raving about.
