This is a collaborative post: It takes time to curate your wardrobe and find your own personal style, which is why your closet may see a rotation of styles over the years as you discover what works for you. While it is fun to play around in your teens and twenties, there are some classic pieces that you want to have in your 30’s that are fashion investment pieces. These investment pieces of high quality and classic style will last you years to come and not go out of style as trends continue to change.
A good quality tote bag
A good quality tote bag that is gorgeous and won’t fall apart or show wear and tear is an investment that will last you a long time. Cost per wear on a tote for many women (especially moms!) is considerably low, and if you invest in a piece that you really love it makes the investment even more worthwhile. For a high-quality tote bag, consider online shops such as Mirta that ships handmade leather bags to the UK directly from Italy.
A blazer
A beautiful blazer that you feel confident in is well worth investing in. It may take some tailoring to get that extra perfect fit, but it is worth doing so! Whether you wear it for work or to pull together any smart outfit, a blazer is a classic piece to have in your wardrobe.
Black boots or pumps
Investing in a beautiful pair of black boots or pumps means quality, comfortability, and gorgeous design. When deciding which pair of shoes to invest in, consider which style you wear more to make the investment worth it for you.
Tip: you can resole your shoes and the better you maintain them, the longer your investment piece will last.
Leather jacket
A leather jacket, either real or fake, is a piece that will last you for years. It is also a piece where you can see the quality of the material, which is why many women choose to invest in a high-quality leather jacket.
A pair of earrings
A beautiful and timeless pair of earrings, such as a pair made of real gold or pearls, is an accessory that you can save for special occasions or wear as your everyday jewelry. With the high quality, it makes for a great investment because you can get your wear out of it without your earrings tarnishing after only some use. This is one of those investments that if you wear consistently you will quickly see the benefit of cost per wear, and if you save for special occasions they will last even longer. This also is a great piece of jewelry to pass down!
