CLASSIC or NOT?

THE OUT-OF-STYLE FORMULA

How can you tell if something is a classic? Here’s a general rule of thumb: If you can imagine yourself wearing it five years ago, it will probably be in style five years from now. If you can imagine yourself having worn a version of it twenty years ago, some version of it will probably be in style twenty years from now. Try thinking this way the next time you go shopping. It’s really helpful when you’re standing at the register about to pay for your purple leather walking shorts.
