Timeless fashion accessories

A timeless accessory is one that is as fashionable today as it was 10 years ago and will be in ten years from today. As the fashion icon, Coco Chanel once said "Fashion changes, but style endures.” A timeless accessory is one that is always in style.

Pearl necklace

A pearl necklace is an accessory that never loses its enduring value. It is a fashion investment. If you are not in a position to invest in real pearls, there are very attractive costume pearls or for a moderate price, freshwater pearls are available. The most iconic color is creamy white, but they are also available in black and some pastel shades.

You can opt for a choker, a single pearl on a chain or a long chain of pearls that can be wrapped around the neck several times. The fashion of the "Roaring Twenties" is hot at this particular time and a very long pearl necklace fits right in with that style. By opting for a clasp of sterling silver instead of gold, you can also keep the price more affordable.

Designer scarf

Another fashion investment is a designer scarf. Hermes is one of the most timeless; however, it is not within the price range of everyone. There are many other designers who offer great classic, timeless scarves that can be found at stores such as TJMaxx for a fraction of their retail price.

Try to choose a pattern or color that is not too trendy. This year’s trend may be next year’s flop. Take a good look in your closet and decide what color or colors would fit in with what you already own. If your clothing tends to be mostly navy or black, a white or red scarf would be a nice addition.

Black clutch

Every woman needs to own a simple but classic black clutch purse. For any dressy occasion from a wedding to a cocktail party, the clutch is a must. Depending on your lifestyle, you can spend a lot or a little. Look for one with a unique detail that takes it above the rest; a special clasp is one option.

Classic pump

A good pair of high heels is an important accessory that can take a woman from the boardroom to the bedroom. Black is the most classic color and most wardrobes will include at least one pair. If you just are not a high heel woman, the classic black ballet flat is another option that is timeless.

Watch

These days, many women don’t need a watch to tell time; the smartphone is perfect for that. However, a beautiful watch is a great accessory and can take the place of a bracelet. For a timeless look, choose a smaller face, but silver, leather or gold are all classic choices.

Sunglasses

Who can forget Jackie O and her wonderful large sunglasses? It was a signature look for her and is just as timeless today. Tortoiseshell is a timeless look, but you may opt for another color that suits your personal style better.

Large Purse

For every day, most women carry a large carryall purse that can go from work to a night out or a day at the beach. If leather is out of the question, there are many other materials available, but leather usually wears the best so think of this as an investment in years of style.

Timeless accessories will stand the test of time and should be considered an investment. Buy the best quality that you can afford and your investment will provide years of enjoyment and style.
