The Fashion Bible: Timeless Fashion Pieces and Why Size Matters

Trends may come and go, but timeless fashion is forever. In a world driven by seasonal collections and social media cycles, curating a wardrobe filled with classic, well-fitting staples is not only sustainable—it’s smart. Yet even the most iconic pieces lose their charm if they don’t fit you properly. That’s where size becomes just as important as style.

Welcome to The Fashion Bible, your guide to the wardrobe essentials every woman should own—and how to make sure they fit you perfectly every single time.

Why Timeless Fashion Still Reigns Supreme

Trends can be fun, but they're fleeting. One season it's micro skirts and neon knits, the next it's wide-leg trousers and muted palettes. Amid the noise, timeless fashion offers consistency, elegance, and versatility.

Timeless fashion pieces:

Don’t date quickly
Can be styled in countless ways
Suit every body type
Transition effortlessly from day to night

These staples form the foundation of your wardrobe, allowing trend-led pieces to rotate around them without compromising your overall look.

The 10 Timeless Pieces Every Woman Should Own

Here are the fashion items that belong in every well-edited wardrobe, regardless of age, size or style:

1. The Crisp White Shirt

Sharp, classic, and endlessly adaptable. Dress it up for work with tailored trousers, or pair it with jeans for a relaxed weekend look.

2. The Little Black Dress

Coco Chanel wasn’t wrong. The LBD is a fail-safe outfit for formal events, last-minute dinners, or even layered with a blazer for office chic.

3. Tailored Blazer

A well-cut blazer elevates any outfit. Choose neutral colours like navy, camel, or black, and make sure the fit is sharp on the shoulders and tailored at the waist.

4. Dark Denim Jeans

High-rise or mid-rise, a good pair of dark wash jeans never goes out of style. Dress them up with heels or keep them casual with trainers.

5. Cashmere Knitwear

Lightweight yet warm, cashmere is a luxury that lasts—if cared for properly. Stick to neutral tones for maximum versatility.

6. Silk Blouse or Cowl Neck Top

Adds softness and femininity. Great for layering under jackets or dressing up simple separates.

7. Black Trousers

Slim-leg or wide-leg depending on your preference, they work in the office, at dinner or even paired with a basic tee for off-duty cool.

8. Classic Trench Coat

Timeless, practical and flattering. Belt it to highlight your waist and layer over absolutely anything.

9. Structured Handbag

Invest in a bag with clean lines and minimal branding. Think more about shape and hardware than trend-led colours.

10. Comfortable, Stylish Footwear

Loafers, leather ankle boots, white trainers or simple block heels—quality footwear finishes an outfit and supports long wear.

But Here’s the Catch: Fit is Everything

You could own every one of the pieces above—but if they don’t fit your body properly, they’ll never look as good as they should.

Unfortunately, sizing is a minefield. A UK size 12 in Zara can differ drastically from a size 12 in Massimo Dutti or White Stuff.

This is where Tellar.co.uk changes the game.

Why Sizing Is So Inconsistent

Fashion brands rarely follow a universal size chart. Instead, they base sizing on their own customer profile, fit model, or even a marketing decision to "run small" or "vanity size".

Factors affecting sizing:

Fabric type (stretch vs structured)
Target demographic
Manufacturing region
Brand identity (slim-fit, oversized, etc.)

It’s no wonder customers are stuck with poor fit and costly returns.
