These 10 Classic Outfit Ideas Are Gorgeous

By Sarah Macken

Balancing elegance with ease, we’ll always return to these classic outfit ideas …


A cape coat – this one is by French label Loulou de Saison – is the kind of piece that always has polish. Team it with a cream silk dress and point-toe boots for a dressy daytime look. 


A pair of slingbacks with an of-the-moment square toe will bring edge to a black dress. Finish the look with a classic French twist hairstyle.


An extra long faux fur coat can be classic, depending on the styling. Team it with glossy riding boots, a black hairband and a structured tote. 


The accessory of the moment? A slim fringed scarf – in tried-and-true black or cream – nods to Toteme‘s winter collection. Team it with a collarless coat, or jacket, for a look that endures. 


Speaking of accessories, upgrade your everyday look by introducing a pillbox hat.


Choose your player: whether it’s an XL bowling bag in delectable brown suede, a ladylike top handle or a novel east-west skinny shape, the right bag completes the classic look. 


The details matter: a monogrammed cuff is the most scintillating way to bring personality to a classic white shirt.


Gaining traction last year, the collarless jacket trend is set to be big for SS26, with legs into autumn. We love the easy elegance of a collarless leather blazer styled with a lace-trim camisole or dress. 


Denim trends will come and go, but there’s something about a slim pair of jeans with two-tone ballet pumps that we always return to. To keep things relevant, ensure your jeans are straight, rather than ultra-skinny.


Lastly, on the topic of the aforementioned French twist, let this guide to achieving the hairstyle of the moment be a helping hand.
