Timeless clothing aka "all of the fashion you'll ever need":

• Black bomber jacket
• Black skinny jeans
• Black chelseas
• Black sweater
• Black parka
• Black backpack
• Black birkenstocks

• White t-shirt
• White button-up
• White Common Projects

• Grey sweatshirt
• Grey socks
• Grey scarf

Monochrome is le timeless in all honesty. It will never go out of style in fashion, only in high street fashion.

Nothing is timeless. Even a pair of jeans and a white tshirt can fall victim to looking outdated if you pick a cut or variation you think of as timeless now but in 5-10 years might signal 2014. (Eg a slimmer fit of jeans now, pale wash in the 80s).

You can buy stuff that won't look bad in years to come, like a classic cut breton, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything truly timeless.

Clothing that fit you nicely won't be outdated. Special cuts like long or baggy tees will.
In 2099, white tees that fit you won't look outdated.

thats not timeless
they said the same thing about peacoats two years ago

>>9123222
reminder that slim straight indigo raws, brown boots, a light blue oxford, and grey peacoat was considered a timeless outfit four years ago.

point being, timeless doesn't exist.

also screencapped your post to lol at in two years when nobody likes memeochrome any more

peacoats are timeless, they were just a huge trend 5 years ago and now everyone associates them with hipsters.

Reminder that fashion goes in cycles and this fit
>slim straight indigo raws, brown boots, a light blue oxford
Has existed before you were born. You probably think rick owens geobaskets are only a 4chan mem

>Clothing that fit you nicely won't be outdated
You're judging what fits you nicely by a 2014 lens. What is considered fitting nicely now might be too loose or too tight a few years down the line.

I know some of you faggots dress like the kid on the left. His hair is horrible though

>>9123851
Yeah oversized or skinny trends but fitting clothes were always there.

>fitting clothes

You're not grasping this are you.
What you consider fitting isn't what fitting was 20 years ago and isn't what fitting will be in 20 years.

>fashion goes in cycles
you're an uncultured idiot if you really believe this.

This brings into question what we mean by timeless, though. Plenty of what people consider in style now definitely draws upon older styles. Looser, high-waisted, light washed women's jeans like in your pic are completely in style right now. That's not to say people won't think of the 80s when they see them, but I don't think they'll consider you outdated-looking.

A good amount of the art form involves (and will always involve, I think) revival to varying degrees of distance looking backward in time. I think people are inclined to call something "timeless" if

a) its popularity run lasts longer than other stuff, or

b) it's something that went out of style but came back in.

What do you guys think?

rick owens geobaskets also existed before you were born

>wanting to be here after two years
I'm trying to get off this board as soon as I can.

This.
Look at fashionable streetwear from like 2005 and it will look like a potato sack from today's point of view (Muh bootcut jeans, muh Chucks, muh racing jackets).

If something goes and and comes back in it is by definition not timeless, because if you're outside of the periods where it's relevant you'll look outdated.

Care to see some examples?

Just watch Supernatural reruns. TV shows are usually good to see how people dressed in a certain time (e.g. X Files style monster coats in the 90s).
