Fashion is a paradox. It is ever changing, designers striving to create new and exciting design ideas while at the same time hoping that their outputs will qualify as timeless pieces. We are often advised to build our wardrobe using timeless pieces, but what makes a piece of clothing deserving of such bestowment? Naturally, we often regard designs that have transcended decades as timeless since they have sustained their popularity and relevance throughout time. Timelessness in fashion can be achieved in different ways. It may be through ground-breaking silhouettes like the wrap dress, or enduring fabrics like denim, and even the lingering emotional impact a dress has to its wearer like the empowering pantsuit. So, we can say that a design must withstand the test of time and its emotional appeal must remain true across generations for it to be called timeless.

It might as well be the ultimate fashion staple because of its versatility. You can wear it in almost every ocaasion - dinner parties, gallery openings, date nights and even to weddings! Its simplicity is what makes it timeless since it can easily adapt to changing trends. Necklines may dip and rise, skirts may flare or taper at the bottom and fabrics may range from velvet to lace but it is undeniable that the little black dress still has the same emotional appeal to women then and now
