While trends come and go, timeless pieces never go out of style, which is why they are the best investment items. There are certain pieces that feel classic and forever—ones I could buy today and confidently know I’ll still love years from now. I think of iconic luxury houses and their signatures: Burberry trench coats, Cartier Tank watches, Celine Triomphe sunglasses, Chanel ballet flats, Manolo Blahnik kitten heels, or Ferragamo pumps—items that epitomize the saying “buy nice or buy twice.”
Khaite, The Row, and Toteme also come to mind—known for their wardrobe staples. Khaite’s Danielle jeans are beloved by editors, The Row’s often-sold-out bags and shoes have a cult following, and Toteme’s the go-to for Scandinavian minimalism.
Across all of these labels, despite their higher price point, the cost per wear and the fact that they will stand the test of time make them highly coveted. Ahead, shop editor-favorite chic designer brands.
