Classics: select pieces of a wardrobe that will define an outfit.

Clothing that is considered in fashion and trendy today will be “out of style tomorrow.” This is very true of fashion and many other things such as music and technology. However, there are pieces in a wardrobe that have been labeled “Classics” which have the ability to elevate the latest trends in fashion, compliment that unique piece that it’s in a wardrobe or classics can be worn together to make the perfect ensemble.

The Blazer: is a staple in my wardrobe; it has the ability the elevate any look from jeans and a tee-shirt to that little black dress. It has had many variations over the decades from bold prints, shoulder pads, unique hardware to bold colors; the blazer has been fashionable, trendy while maintaining a professional look Even with the subtle changes throughout out history, it maintains the top spot of being the classic and an essential element of any wardrobe. Bold Blazers are my personal favorite because I get to express a part of my personality while maintaining a professional look. Investing in a quality blazer is a key piece because it elevates and transforms any wardrobe. Being a teacher who loves fashion I find it important to capture both professionalism and creativity in my style, which a blazer does for my wardrobe and also why I’ve invested in them many times. The Blazer is my “go to” piece in fashion.
