Given the sheer speed of today's trend cycle, keeping your outfits feeling current and exciting can be hard and time-consuming. That being said, chic, anti-trend staples that likely already reside in your closet can easily be combined into unfailing formulas that will never go out of style.

These ageless combinations have stood the test of time because they are rooted in simplicity, versatility, and classic elements. Basics such as jeans, blazers, button-downs, trousers, and T-shirts add longevity to every look. Plus, there's always the opportunity to pepper in trend-forward accessories to add spice to any ensemble.

Rounded up below are seven outfit equations that never fail.

This perennial outfit formula is perfect for transition dressing. A striped T-shirt can be swapped for a solid, but the stripes add a playfulness to this otherwise neutral look. And, of course, a trench coat and trousers are as timeless as they are versatile.
