Fashion director Shelly Vella shows you the timeless classics worth looking for in the sales.
If, like me, the New Year has you determined to clear out your wardrobe and only shop for pieces that last, try stalking the sales for these three stylish classics. A trench coat works across seasons and newer designs mix textures, fabrics and even sleeve and belt details. A Breton stripe never gets old and can be worn smartly with tailoring. A softer cut, lighter shade blazer is a winner dressed up or down.
