I stumbled across a post by Martine Cajucom recently about how her bunny costume for Halloween isn’t basic, it’s classic. It made me realize that there is a delineation between the two. Basic might be on-trend, basic is what everyone wears when they want to fit in. Classic is something that is reliably fashionable and is beyond the trend.
The question now is how to always re-work your classics and make them look and feel new again. How does one make it seem like their go-to outfits aren’t made out of a creative slump but with a touch of now-ness? I consulted the photos of our favorite fashionable few to find out.

There’s nothing new about a white shirt and some blue jeans. But when you pump it up with some metallic shoes, you’re ready to go to the trendiest places!

Big, chunky earrings are quite hard to wear. But when you pair it with simple pants and a sleeveless top like Maggie, you’ll look good without trying too hard.

The comforts of the beach are always the same: shades, hat, bikini. But with the trend of pompom sandals, your ensembles will transition well into that beach party. Don’t forget to pick up a tasteful beach dress to go with it.

A pantsuit is often a good idea. But give it a more casual feel by pairing it with a silky slip inside and keep one shoulder loose.
