1. Studs
Product: Forever 21
Stud earrings are great for a classic wardrobe because they are simple, minimal, and can be worn with any outfit. These earrings can be worn to class, on a date, or at a fancy gala and no one would think twice about it.
This set of three pairs allows you flexibility between wearing pearls and faux diamonds and even then, just how big you want the diamonds to be.
2. Black Handbag
Product: Old Navy
Every girl needs a classic black handbag in her wardrobe (see: The Classic Bags That Will Never Go Out of Style). If you have the money to splurge on something designer, more power to you, but if not, Old Navy (surprisingly) has some great options!
This bag is perfect for any occasion and it can be styled as a cross body or as a handbag! Since it is black, it goes with virtually every outfit. It is also a classic style meaning that it will last you for years to come.
Size-wise, this bag is perfect too. It’s big enough to store everything you may need throughout the day without being too overwhelming and is overall a great addition to a classic wardrobe.
3. Sunglasses
Product: Foster Grant
Nothing says “classic accessories” quite like tortoiseshell sunglasses. They’ve been a staple of stylish women for decades now (think Jackie O).
These pretty shades are a neutral color and will go with any outfit, whether you’re wearing them with a cute sweater and boots or a swimsuit made for the beach. Since these sunglasses are iconic and will last you through each season, a classic girl can’t go wrong with having these in her back pocket, or in her handbag!

4. Wristwatch
Product: Target
A watch is another timeless piece that every woman should have in her closet. Again, if you can splurge on something high-end, that’s fabulous, but if not, you don’t have to spend a lot to get a classic watch.
This rose gold watch is both feminine and useful. Since it is rose gold it adds a bit of flair to your outfit, although a more traditional gold, white, or black would also be a great choice. This is ideal for the classic girl because it is functional, simple, and is a timeless piece.
5. Black belt
Product: Lulu’s
There is nothing as useful as a belt in a fashionista’s wardrobe. Belts can be used to hold clothes up, tighten them, or simply to add some style to an otherwise boring look.
This classic belt is perfect because it is black and dainty but also has a gold buckle for that little bit of interest. It can be worn with pants or dresses and is great for any classic girl looking to add this classic piece to her wardrobe.
