Trends come and go, but timeless wardrobe staples like denim, crisp white tops, trench coats, and classic leather jackets can last for years. If well-chosen, these pieces have a kind of staying power—a forever chic that’s hard to find elsewhere in your closet. Designers are certainly putting an emphasis on building wardrobes that are meant to last—focusing on quality and craft instead of what’s in or what’s out. Now more than ever seems like a good time to invest in pieces for the long haul. And a classic leather jacket for spring feels like a good place to start.
