The jaunt

Fashion loves change, and the faster the better. But as it moves continuously, there are some things that remain rock constant, wardrobe essentials that seem to transcend time, age and season. 1. The button down shirt A  favourite almost as much as it is a wardrobe staple, a quality shirt works for every occasion. If you feel white is too starchy and severe, try a very pale pink or cream 2. The jeans Don't be taken by fads for skinnies or flares: choose a simple, slim-fitting straight-legged pair that will always look good.
