As Instagram’s reach continues to grow, so too does the power held by its most influential fashion stars. Whereas fashion trends were once dictated by magazine editors, today it’s the women ruling our feeds who have the final say.
With the perks of Instagram fame, it would be easy for these influencers to indulge in the latest trends every day, never re-wearing anything and constantly flaunting hot-off-the-press pieces. However, as we’ve learned, many influencers are just as dedicated to sustainability as we are and want to challenge the misconception that Instagram style is all about disposable fashion.
The benefits of treasuring old pieces are abundant. Not only does it contribute positively to the environment, but it also reveals which styles stand the test of time. The result is a wardrobe filled with investment pieces that will offer better value in the long run. Say goodbye to impulse buys and hello to timeless wardrobe gems that you’ll love wearing for seasons to come. More style, less waste—what’s not to love?
To inspire your next wardrobe spring clean, we asked five fashion bloggers to share the old pieces they re-wear year after year. From trenches and blazers to suits and denim, most of their picks fall under the “style classics” category, but they’re all versatile enough to be adapted to any taste or season. Scroll down to see and shop their must-have items.

“I have a number of items (clothes and accessories) that I often go back to and that frequently appear on my Instagram. One of those items are my straight-leg Levi’s. I bought them ages ago, and they are still my favourite pair. Occasionally, I like to buy a pair of trendy jeans that are very of-the-moment, but season after season, I still go back to my Levi’s, as they are classic and never go out of style. Right now, I love wearing them with chunky sweaters and sandals or oversized shirts.” —Renata Jazdzyk
