7 Ways To Keep Your Classic Wardrobe Modern

It's true: classic style is always in fashion. But, don't let that intimidate you! There are plenty of ways to make your classic wardrobe modern while keeping it timeless.

Pair feminine cuts with masculine shoes

Wearing feminine cuts with masculine shoes is a great way to keep your wardrobe modern. When you think of masculine shoes, you probably imagine some type of boot or dress shoe that doesn't look like it would be comfortable to wear all day. However, there are some great ways to add a modern touch to your outfit without going full-on grunge.

The first thing to consider when pairing feminine cuts with masculine shoes is the material of the skirt/dress and its length. For example, if you have an A-line skirt (one straight line from waistband down) in a soft fabric such as cotton or linen, this can work well with a pair of loafers or oxfords because they're both made from leather soles which give them more structure than sneakers but aren't too heavy like boots would be on their own either—this will prevent any unwanted bulk underfoot while still giving off that crisp look we want from our outfits!

Take inspiration from your childhood

You remember those outfits, right? The ones that made you feel like a superhero. They’re still in your closet somewhere, collecting dust and waiting to be worn again. Why not pull them out of the dark abyss of your closet and wear them? If you’re really feeling nostalgic, try to find some similar outfits on eBay or Etsy (or even Etsy thrift store). A good way to get a modern look is to take inspiration from your childhood.

You can also get inspiration from other sources like movies and books as well! Maybe there was an article of clothing that one character wore that really made an impact on you—you could try replicating it! Or maybe there was a scene where everything looked so beautiful because of how they dressed themselves—maybe you can use this as inspiration for an outfit for yourself today!

White on white is your best friend

White on white is your best friend, and it's a wardrobe staple that you should invest in.

You can wear white on white with anything—jeans and sneakers, a cozy sweater and slacks, or even a formal suit. You can wear it any season of the year—in summer as well as winter. You can also pair your whites with every color of the rainbow (yes: even pink!). And finally, you can layer patterns over patterns and still look put-together thanks to the simplicity of this trend.

Roll up those sleeves

Roll up the sleeves of your shirt.
Roll up the sleeves of your cardigan.
Roll up the sleeves of your blazer.
Roll up the sleeves of your suit jacket (if you wear one).
Roll up the sleeves of your trousers, or roll them down if you want to be even more casual!
If you are wearing a dress, roll up its hemline so that it sits at knee-length or above—it'll give off an airy, bohemian vibe and make you look slimmer in comparison to other people wearing dresses at floor length who might have wider hips than yours!

Try the mix and match look with the same material

Mix and match is a great way to stay current, but you might be wondering how that can be done with the same material. Well, it's actually quite easy! For example, you could wear your favorite pair of jeans with a classic white button-down shirt and then add a modern twist by wearing sneakers instead of dress shoes.

Look for unexpected color combos

Color can be a powerful tool in your wardrobe. It can create contrast, mood and emotion, and help you create a theme—whether it's for yourself or for an event you're attending.

Here are seven ways to use color in your classic wardrobe:

Contrasting colors is one of the easiest ways to add something new to your look. Have you ever heard that "pink" and "black" don't go together? That's because those colors are so different from each other! If you have black pants, try pairing them with a bright pink top or scarf; if your outfit has a lot of blue in it, consider adding some orange accessories; if there's already reds/oranges/burgundies/etc., try wearing some grey sweaters or vests instead! You'll immediately stand out by doing something unexpected.
You can also use color to set moods. For example: purple is associated with royalty and luxury because of its association with royalty (especially during medieval times), while yellow often represents happiness due to its association with sunshine (and thus warmth). If someone were wearing their favorite shade all day long every day—even on days when they weren't feeling particularly cheerful—it would likely make them feel happier just by being reminded of those feelings every time they looked at themselves in the mirror!

Accessorize

Accessories are the perfect way to add a personal touch to your outfit. They can be a great way to add a pop of color or pattern, too!

For example, let's say you've got this awesome black and white striped dress that you love so much. However, it's missing something—a little something extra! And what better accessory than some fun bangles? They'll match the stripes in your dress perfectly and give it an extra bit of flair (and maybe even some fun sound effects when they jingle together).

Make it your own

One of the best ways to keep your wardrobe modern is to customize and personalize it. You can do this in several ways, such as:

Selecting a unique color palette for each season. For example, if you have a lot of darker hues in your closet (such as navy), you could play up the lighter shades in spring and summer with pastels or neons. The fun part about creating seasonal palettes is that once you've done it, it becomes so much easier than trying to match outfits together every night without fail!
Experimenting with different styles and looks that are unique to you—this includes both fashion trends and accessories. If there's something we've learned from our favorite movies or TV shows over the years, it's that no two people are exactly alike! So why should we all look like clones? Find what works best for both your body type AND personality type; then sprinkle magic dust on top by adding some flair here and there (whether it be through clothes/accessories). This way everyone will know they're talking business with someone who knows their stuff when they see them walking down Fifth Avenue...
