Timeless Clothing

If you’re thinking it’s too expensive to put together a wardrobe of timeless clothing that will never go out of style, we’re here to prove you wrong. At Buy Outlet, we believe that timeless fashion pieces are worth their cost because they become your closet staples — clothing that you mix and match with nearly everything you wear.

While you might think it’s counterintuitive to invest more money in fewer pieces, high-quality designer styles last for decades and can save you hundreds in the long run. Instead of constantly replacing your favorite $20 LBD from a low-quality brand every year, find a similar style from Calvin Klein for a little bit more and replace it after 10 years!

You don’t have to transform your wardrobe all at once, but you can buy timeless clothing pieces a little bit at a time to slowly build your collection. Discover which pieces we think are essentials for your timeless capsule wardrobe today!

1. The Classic Trench Coat

The Burberry trench coat is one of the most well-known timeless fashion pieces of all time, but you don’t have to spend thousands to enjoy this style of coat in your closet. Pivot to something stylish and well-tailored without the hefty price tag when you browse similar styles from other designers. Whether it’s a trench from Tommy Hilfiger or Michael Kors, you can go for the classic tan or a moody black and achieve the same quintessential effortlessness!

2. The LBD

A little black dress is an iconic and timeless clothing piece that you can wear for so many occasions. From date nights to formal events, the right black dress can make you feel like a million bucks without breaking your wallet. Everyone from Alfani and Bar III to INC International Concepts has an LBD that fits the bill with a chic silhouette and hemline that falls just above the knee to make it work for every occasion.

3. The Blazer

The blazer is a timeless clothing piece because it instantly completes and elevates any look — even one that’s a little lackluster. You can pair blazers with jeans for something a little more casual or throw one over a dress for more formal occasions.

While there are tons of blazer styles these days, including cropped and oversized silhouettes as well as a plethora of colors, we would recommend making your timeless choice a neutral one. Shop black, tan, and navy pieces to ensure you can match with everything in your closet.

Some of our favorite blazer brands include:

Shop for one or two of these timeless fashion pieces to ensure you have a fall/winter and summer/spring go-to.

4. The White Dress Shirt

White dress shirts fit the timeless clothing category because they’re always crisp, cool, and versatile. You can dress them up or down with minimal effort, and they’re appropriate for so many situations! Shop dress shirts that provide a great fit and are made from durable material to get something that will last for years, like pieces from Calvin Klein Jeans, Style & Co, and DKNY.

You can even find some pieces with subtle embellishments, like a ruffle at the cuff or piped trim along the collar.

5. The Denim Pant

There is nothing better than slipping into a pair of jeans that hug you just right. This casual style is essential in any timeless clothing capsule wardrobe because you can take them from day to night with ease. Find durable options that go the extra mile with thoughtful design and manufacturing when you shop quality brands, like Wrangler, Levi’s, and DKNY Jeans, instead of fast fashion brands, like Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe.

6. The Black Pumps

And what better to complete our list of timeless clothing recommendations than with the classic black pump? You don’t want to skimp on these shoes, as they need to be comfortable enough for all-day, everyday wear. Find a brand or style that you love and save up until you have enough for a pair you can wear anywhere.
