How do you make sure your outfits are still in style?
Hello everyone - long time lurker here.
I was reading a post earlier where someone wanted help picking out clothes that would look timeless and fashionable no matter what. The main takeaway was that you can't really pick clothes today with the intention that they will be fashionable or trending now AND 10+ years down the line.
Even though I knew this was the truth, it made me sad because I don't want to support fast fashion but I also don't want to look dated in photos, especially compared to everyone else.
My question for the capsule wardrobe experts is this: how do you ensure that your outfit still looks modern/trendy when wearing classic wardrobe staples or even slightly outdated staples? Do you think wearing the items with trending colors and/or accessories is the trick?
For example, I bought a pair of Levi's light wash baggy dad jeans thinking they would be a classic well into the future. How could I wear/style those jeans in the future even if its not on-trend or in fashion? Do you wear a statement/personality item with the jeans to overcompensate?
Thanks for the discussion.
