Classic Essentials : No. 16 The Denim Jacket

I personally consider the denim jacket one of the classiest, versatile outerwear pieces out there.

It's so easy to match; worn over a cute summer dress for spring or summer and layered for the colder seasons. The acid wash denim jackets are indeed, very cute, but for more versatility and a more classy look, I recommend blue denim washes -- both light or dark.

Classic Essentials - No. 13 Basic Court Heels

Basic court heels is definitely something every woman needs.Basic court heels are the most basic women's shoes that I can think of. In my opinion, black suede court shoes and nude patent court shoes are the best to coordinate with. Of course every woman dreams of having these pairs specifically from the classiest, Louboutins, but not many people can realistically afford that. They often sell these basic court heels at stores like Zara, Forever 21, Payless, Nordstroms, Macy's, and more.

Classic Essentials - No. 12 Basic Blue Jeans

Ben G. from kolonelmustard.com

Whoever said that you can't look classy in jeans?
I think basic jeans are one of the classiest items you could have.
For jeans, I think a darker wash (some people call it navy denim) give off a bit of a classier look
and look amazing when they are cuffed (folded to 7/8 length). Dark wash blue jeans give
just the right amount of casual look to classic outfits. I'm pretty picky with my jeans, because
even the slightest difference in shade give it a different look and of course, the fit has look good
and feel comfortable. In my opinion, skinny and straight leg are best for women 

and straight leg suits men for the "classiest" look & fit. 

Where to find:

You can find great style, affordable jeans at Forever 21, but they're not too comfortable and won't last too long. If you are willing to splurge, Rag & Bone, J Brand, and Current Elliot has some great jeans as well. My favorite brand for my jeans is Just USA. Majority of my jeans, regular denim and colored, are from Just USA because it feels they have the comfort of jeggings in the look of jeans; plus, they more affordable than those splurge brands I listed.

Classic Essentials - No. 11 Wayfarers & Aviators

WAYFARERS

AVIATORS

When it comes does to accessories, I can't think of anything that gets much classier than

wayfarer and aviator sunglasses. These sunglasses look good with almost any outfit.

Where to find: 

In my opinion, because it is a classic, I think Ray Ban creates the classiest wayfarers and aviators; however, it is still pretty price for many people. You can find more affordable alternatives at most accessory stores and those work great too! Make sure they have legitimate UV protection though -- you don't want to forget the actual purpose of sunglasses!
