It’s a new year, and that means new styles, new trends, new fashions. Every year will have its own set of distinctive looks, and 2013 will be no different. However, some things simply will never go out of style, no matter what the year and no matter what the other crazes are. Here are some of the must-have items to use your Macy’s promo codes on for any wardrobe in 2013.
Sometimes the basics are best, and the Mossimo women’s button-down blouse is deceptively basic: the contemporary fit and contrasting colors ensure that this look will still be as vital and relevant in 2014 as it is now.
But it’s not just the women who will have key fashion items this year. For men, the looks of 2013 include dark-colored ties with diagonal strips, since they work well with most shirts. So do black dress pants, which is another must.
Speaking of black pants, the casual woman’s equivalent are the ankle stretch pants from Mossimo. Versatile, dynamic, and above all, comfortable, these stretch pants will look good anywhere and with almost any combination.
Back to the men, a jacket (or a blazer) is no longer the purview of the job interview. They look smart enough to be used even with a simple pair of jeans for casual settings, delivering a look that will last throughout 2013.
Women aren’t left out, with the Ponte Jacket with front button (especially in emerald green, Pantone’s color of 2013). It works well with the wardrobe-standard little black dress, but also works great with jeans and a simple t-shirt.
An extra tip about the little black dress: choose one that has a detail you love, whether it’s the neckline or the cut. Don’t settle for a generic look when there’s something out there that will fit you perfectly, and can function as your go-to piece for any occasion.
This year, men are going to need a pair of quality black shoes. They’ll work great with most combinations and most settings, and the wardrobe-savvy man of 2013 will also get a corresponding pair in brown.
The chambray shirt wraps up the must-haves for a woman’s wardrobe this year. It goes with any combination, and gives a very relaxed and laid back, yet polished and sophisticated vibe. The shirt works best when used to dress down skirts. A scarf can complement and round of the entire look.
