As fashion addicts, we tend to invest in new clothes. But be careful not to forget our accessories, essential for enhancing an outfit and giving us style. So, what are the essential accessories in your wardrobe? jaiio helps you decipher the 5 timeless pieces you absolutely must own if you don't already!
The timeless pieces of my wardrobe or the basics to absolutely have!
A beautiful leather bag
Whether it's the Chanel 2.55, the Louis Vuitton Speedy, or the Hermès Birkin, among many others, we should all have a beautiful leather bag. Even if the prices of a handbag from a beautiful luxury house remain high, it's important to think of it as an investment. After all, you don't buy a bag like you buy a t-shirt! We recommend choosing a model in a rather neutral color (black, beige, camel, or red—and yes, these colors go very well together) and a classic model. Whether worn across the body, on the shoulder, or by hand... there's bound to be a size that suits your desires and needs! You'll see, it will be timeless and will last forever. It's the perfect example of pieces that become more beautiful with age because: "The more leather is used, the more supple and beautiful it becomes!"

A scarf (Hermès type square)
Remember Brigitte Bardot or Grace Kelly, who wore it with class tied under the chin, then the trend around the wrist or as a belt... This accessory is still a must-have today and comes in many different ways! In all colors, with all kinds of patterns... Everyone will definitely find what they're looking for! Don't hesitate to use it to replace your hair elastic (and therefore give style to your ponytail), or even to tie it on your favorite bag! There's no doubt, it will fulfill multiple functions and adapt to all your desires!
Here are some ideas for very trendy looks:

Sunglasses (a pair of Raybans)
Wayfarer, Aviator… These names are certainly familiar to you! And for good reason, remember Tom Cruise in Top Gun… Didn't he look amazing in those glasses? How classy… This model, created in 1937 and originally intended for the Air Force, is still fashionable today. Nicole Richie never takes them off, and has worn them in all circumstances for years.As for the Wayferer, a must-have model from the 50s and 60s, it truly revolutionized the world of sunglasses with its rigid plastic frames – goodbye to metal. While the Aviator model is more suited to square faces, the Wayferer will suit everyone – and are unisex!

A watch
Even if, let's be honest, we all check the time on our Smartphone, the watch remains a timeless accessory to match with each outfit and which reveals a lot about your personality. If today it is possible to find new ones at affordable prices and in all styles, it is so much nicer to find a vintage watch that has shared a part of someone else's life, and to give it a new life with you!

A pair of black pumps
We put this one last, because it's so obvious that we almost forgot about it! This accessory works just as well with chic outfits as it does for special occasions (business meetings, 1er date, wedding…) as well as more casual outfits and smaller occasions (aperitif with friends – perfect with your favorite jeans!). Square heels, stiletto heels, round toe, (very) pointed toe, patent leather, smooth leather… the list is long and that’s what makes them essential, to the delight of all of us!
As you can see, accessories are and will remain essential for trend-conscious people like us. It's important to invest in beautiful, high-quality pieces so you can keep them for many years to come. While we've selected just five timeless pieces above that we consider the bare minimum, we think a beautiful leather belt, a wide-brimmed hat, a cashmere scarf, or even leather gloves are also timeless pieces to have in your wardrobe! (But we could write at length on the subject...)
