It is easy to get caught up in the "here today, gone tomorrow" world of fashion, and to feel yourself constantly one step behind the latest trends. However, as Coco Chanel said, "fashions fade, only style remains the same." Instead of wasting time and money chasing the latest flash in the pan, why not ensure you have the following three timeless classics in your wardrobe? In fact, you could even opt for a couple of variations on each, and you will never be short of something stylish and fashionable for a night out.
The Little Black Dress – Iconic Casino Style
It's a fashion statement that always captures the spirit of the age, whatever that age might be. The LBD represents the ultimate in casino style - even though today's online and land-based casinos are accessible to all, the style and dress code of the casino still exudes a sense of elegance and exclusivity. This is a reminder of those days gone by when casino gaming was for royalty and the top strata of society.
If the rumours are true and the next James Bond incarnation is female, you can rest assured that it will be a little black dress that replaces the tuxedo made famous by Bond actors across the years in the film series' various casino scenes. The style might seem simple, but all LBDs are not the same. When selecting the right dress for you, look for something that is sleek and flatters your figure. The design might be a classic, but that doesn't prevent you from experimenting with some modern twists, such as an asymmetrical neckline.
The Right Jeans
We all talk about "throwing on a pair of jeans" as if these have nothing to do with style and fashion, and everything to do with convenience and comfort. But who says you can't have all four? The thing about classic denim is that it can form the canvas for whatever look you are seeking to achieve, from super-casual to dressing up for a night out. Swap those sandals for a pair of heels and the t-shirt for a draped blouse and he, presto – you are all set to transition from quiet evening in to late night on the tiles.
The other magic thing about jeans is that there is a cut to fit and complement every figure and body shape. When shopping for jeans, it is worth spending a little more on a couple of high-end pairs. After all, you can guarantee that jeans are never going out of fashion!
It's a Wrap
The wrap dress represents fashion for all seasons. Since its introduction in the 1970s by Diane von Furstenberg, the style has been adopted by practically every fashion house you can think of. Each has lent its own nuances to the original classic, but the overall appeal has remained constant for more than 40 years.
Chances are, you already have one or two in your wardrobe, so get out there and rock them. There are different ways to wear and accessorise a wrap dress. For example, you could keep it simple, and just add a stylish belt and matching bag. Alternatively, you could layer it over with a long-sleeve top and finish the look with some subtle gold jewellery, and, of course, the right shoes.
