I Want to Look Elegant and Classy 24/7—These Are the 11 Timeless Brands I'm Into

Looking elegant has been high on my agenda this year, as I am sure it has been for many of you, too. For the longest time, I felt that I hadn’t really found my aesthetic and, being a fashion editor, you can imagine the internal turmoil this caused me. Surely, if a core part of my job is advising people what to wear, I should be able to work out what it is that I want to wear myself! However, with new trends constantly vying for attention as well as the endless stream of stylish people who seem to really know themselves on social media, it’s easy to feel as if you don’t have a fully honed style identity. Then along came what as been one of the most profound fashion movements I can recall: The era of elegance.

Suddenly, my entire capsule wardrobe—which had long consisted of basics and simple pieces—made sense. Items that were “boring” in comparison to that of other editors I know owned shifted to sit under the more forgiving category of “classic”. My running from the trends was considered as being on trend over night.
