6 Timeless Style Rules I Learned From My Grandmother

While many are of the school of thought that your closet should be a massive collection of separates that, while they may not last forever, do the job in a chic way right now, my grandmother is the exact opposite. Invest in that amazing jacket that's going to last you decades, not months. Splurge on the pants that are tailored to such perfection that they're going to be in rotation for so long that the silhouette has gone in and out of style seven times and you still know they'll make you feel like the best dressed person in the room. Go ahead: spend your rent money on that bag — just once — and you'll want to take better care of it than your own child. I promise, it'll be worth it.
