One of my toxic shopping traits is buying into every trend. I'll admit it: I get pretty trigger-happy with the "order" button because I always want to be an early adopter of the latest new silhouettes and while I do love a good trend, the downside is that too many trendy purchases have translated to a closet filled with more of-the-moment items than timeless ones. Simply put, I'm over cycling through trend pieces each season. Now, I'm focused on building a long-lasting wardrobe of pieces I want to wear now and years from now.
Call me biased, but the newest staples from our Who What Wear Collection are hitting all my shopping criteria for their high-end quality and timeless cuts and colors. To give you an idea of what I consider to be an anti-trend piece, I'm highlighting 16 such items below. They're getting me excited to add to your cart but also happen to be smart buys that I think will ladder up to a forever wardrobe.
I wore this dress during NYFW and I can't speak more highly of it. Don't miss the matching socks.
How chic is it?
Not all timeless staples need to be plain, and this skirt is proof.
This wavy trim, though.
Peak luxe.
Street style–approved.
The black is so chic, too.
I think it speaks for itself.
I have so many black bodysuits already, but I can make room for one more.
Chicer than sweats, comfier than jeans.
It's so easy to style.
I have such a soft spot for ballerina-inspired pieces like this.

It wouldn't be a full look without the matching pants.
I can't decide on a color, so I might have to get both.
A cool addition to any pair of black boots.
I love this print. It's eye-catching but still so wearable.
If you ask me, tube tops never went away.
This cable-knit texture, though.
A midi skirt that's fit for any season.
It doesn't get any more timeless than an LBD.
Classic with a little twist.
A high neckline will always look so polished.
Low-key cool.
My sweatpants could never.
