When I am editing a client's closet, she will often hold up an article of clothing and ask, "Is this still in style?" When she is holding up a pair of Candies shoes from the 80s or an oversized boxy t-shirt, I quickly answer, "No. Let's get rid of it."
Sometimes, however, a client wonders about a piece that is not featured as prominantly in the magazines as it once was. Such was the case recently when a client asked about her pile of pashminas. She wondered if anyone still wore them. Now, according to Harper's Bazaar, a magazine I am finding more ridiculous by the day, pashminas are "out" and capes are "in." However, in my view pashminas have become a classic. They look lovely worn with everything from an evening gown to a T-shirt and jeans. Moreover, they provide warmth!
As long as something is in good shape and suits your personality and style, wear it! Do not fret about it being in or out of fashion if the article in question makes you feel good.
