Great classic style womenswear doesn’t follow trends but remains current and modern. Look to brands, like Frank & Eileen (seen here), that use natural fibers like 100% cotton, linen, cashmere and silks. Stick to a tight color palette and understated timeless prints. Good classic style clothing should be versatile enough to carry you from day to night with a simple change to heeled shoes.
