Lately, I've noticed an uptick in the number of classic outfits landing on the fashion set. I attribute it to the impact the pandemic has had on our closets—fewer occasions to wear trendy items and a larger focus on buying great staples and investment pieces. But that isn't to say that trendy fashion is fading away. Micro miniskirts, oversize leather jackets, Y2K style, high-impact colors, and a fresh crop of micro-trends are in full force for spring.

No matter where you land on the trend-adoption spectrum, though, it's always a great idea to have an arsenal of timeless looks on standby. With a small collection of wardrobe capsule pieces, you can create a number of polished, easy looks that work season after season. It all comes down to some simple styling ideas. Ahead, see the best classic outfits to wear now.

Button-Down + Blazer + Jeans + Flats

If you prefer ballet flats over loafers, here's another great blazer look to replicate.

A crisp button-down is a must-own piece.

Levi's are timeless and affordable—win-win.

These loafers are the definition of quiet luxury. 

Crew-Neck + Midi Skirt + Knee-High Boots + Outerwear

This midi-skirt outfit feels so fresh, yet I keep seeing it pop up everywhere. It's a great way to style knee-high boots if you're looking for an alternative way to wear them.

I like the idea of mixing up the outerwear between a trench or a biker jacket—each lends a completely different mood to the look.

The classic silhouette that will be everywhere this spring.

These Veronica Beard boots are so good. 

Sleeveless Turtleneck + Trousers + Heels

Sleeveless turtlenecks are having a moment but are the '90s staple that will never go out of style. This look couldn't be simpler or more perfect.

It doesn't get easier—or chicer—than this.

If you want investment staples that will last forever, Wolford should be the first place you turn.

Slip Dress + Blazer + Heels

For an evening look, opt for a satin slip dress, then throw on a blazer and heels to finish the outfit. The jacket adds a great tailoring element to pull it together.

Keep it simple, but play around with patterns and textures.

The slip dress to invest in that's sitting at the top of my wish list.

Button-Down + Jeans + Retro Sneakers

The styling possibilities of a great button-down are endless.

Bonus points for an oversize fit.

Double denim never goes out of style. Pair a denim shirt with jeans, then add black boots.

A striped top lends a cool preppy vibe to the look.
