Timeless items that only get better with age

We’ve always been big advocates of dressing in a classic manner. Negating trends and purchasing clothes that are stylish rather than fashionable is surefire way to look good, not only now but in years to come. Avoiding trends generally means you’ll buy less too, as you won’t constantly be searching for that new ‘it’ item that. In light of this, here are six timeless menswear items that get better with age.

Denim jeans

We love a fresh pair of denim jeans for their crisp, smart look. Purchase a pair made from raw denim though and they’ll develop their own character over time in the form of ‘whiskers’. This is where the denim fades around the thigh and behind the knee; a desirable trait that’s somewhat of a path of righteousness for the denim world.
