Fashion classics

Forget chasing trends -- embrace "forever fashion." Because these timeless pieces, chosen by Homemakers fashion editor Karen Kwinter, will last for years, you can afford to invest a bit more in each.

Here are 10 versatile pieces every woman should own:

1. White shirt
Simple and elegant, it perfectly tops any style pants or skirt. Fold up the sleeves for some extra pizzazz.

2. Black slim pants
Always in style and always figure-flattering.

3. Little black dress
The quintessential Audrey Hepburn look works for several levels of formality -- making it appropriate anywhere, anytime. But be sure you're shopping for the best dress for your body type so you have something you'll be excited to wear over and over because it flatters your figure.

4. Fitted blazer
Steal a key flattering look from a man's wardrobe for instant shape and style. A blazer, as part of a black pantsuit, also makes our list for 5 essentials for a recession-ready wardrobe. Mix and match the pieces from the suit for a variety of looks.

5. Ballet flats
Think Coco Chanel in chic and comfortable ballet flats in versatile neutral shades.

6. Quality watch
A classic-look watch can transcend time.

7. Cashmere scarf
If you own only one luxe accessory, this is it. It can be worn in multiple ways. Look for a lightweight one that can bridge the seasons.

8. Pearls
Only the real thing will do when you plan to match them with everything, forever and ever.

9. Diamond stud earrings
Paired with a daytime or evening look, diamond studs equal instant elegance.

10. Silver or gold bangle bracelet
A quick and chic way to add a little glam to any outfit.

    Excellent and sensible article on 10 Classic Fashion Trends. I have 7 of the suggested pieces. Not a frequent jewerly wearer however due to this article I will be on the watch for a string of Pearls and Diamond stud earrings to purchase. I haven't come across Ballet flats that are comfortable and/or flattering on my feet. Thank you for this article!
