Luckily they exist: Basics for your own style. Designs that never go out of style and fit into every budget. From the ultimate trench to the perfect red lipstick to the good gestures for a beautiful togetherness. Very important, however: stay true to yourself and trust your taste!
The ultimate trench
A coat makes a career: from the trenches to the canvas and from there to the closets of the world. The classic Burberry trench (from 1500 euros) is the inspiration for light, practical coats in shades of beige that work with all looks, colors and occasions.
The dreamy bag
Every woman has it, this one longing bag. For more than 75 years, the queen of all wish lists has been the “2.55” from Chanel (from 6000 euros). Named after the date of its creation in February 1955, its typical insignia are diamond quilting and chain handles – it always looks exclusive.
The fantastic ballerinas
The name is program. With ballerinas on your feet, it dances through life as light as a feather. Whether simple or adorned – like the classic “Trompette” by Roger Vivier with a decorative buckle (from 600 euros) – they give the outfit girlish charm with down-to-earth appeal.
The awesome little black dress
Never overdressed, never underdressed. With a knee-length black dress, this feat succeeds effortlessly. Givenchy’s design from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” still inspires designers today to come up with new, exciting variants.
The phenomenal jeans
Gold rush mood when it comes to style: As the first jeans in the world, the “501” from Levi’s (from 110 euros) has experienced a lot – keyword: bathtub! – and to this day it has lost none of its rebellious splendor. The indestructible denim material and the timeless cut make them a model for trousers that will last forever.
The sensational sunglasses
Every face is unique. Can there be one pair of sunglasses that suits everyone? Yes! Ray-Ban’s “Wayfarer” model (from 145 euros) has a balanced shape that is not too square, too round, too big or too small for anyone. Even with modifications, this design is always unbeatable.
The spectacular watch
As a status symbol on the wrist, the Rolex watch (from 4800 euros) has been showing the time to the rich and beautiful for 120 years, is sold as an investment and is often inherited. Today, massive chronographs signal: Time belongs to all of us, and my look deserves a pinch of classy retro glamour.
The great striped shirt
The Breton shirt from Saint James (from 70 euros) advanced from a fisherman’s shirt to a symbol of casual French chic and should not be missing in any wardrobe. Because even beyond the coast, it immediately conjures up freshness in the face of its wearer.
The perfect red lipstick
The red of all reds that suits every woman and every skin tone: this reputation made Dior’s 999 lipstick a true icon. Since 1953, the scarlet shade (which is now available in several finishes) has been providing statement lips and, above all, a sensational appearance.
