There seems to be a near constant battle between modernity and history in literature, architecture, vernacular…and of course, fashion. The over arching opinion in the fashion world is that if it was in style a week ago, it’s too old to wear today. Yet, as brands like Chanel prove, there is nothing better than a classic. So, how to proceed? Dedicate yourself to only choosing the newest options, or live in the past with the oldies but goodies? Is it really possible to blend the classics with current trends without looking like a schizophrenic bag lady?

In some cases, no. I highly doubt that even Gisele Bundchen could carry off a Chanel suit with flashy Betsey Johnson pumps. However, there are ways to combine current trends with your wardrobe classics to create a look that is contemporary, stylish, and most importantly, you.

The first thing I look for when venturing beyond my well loved trousseau is color. If your clothing palette seems to revolve around grey, black and beige, the best thing you can do is branch out to a new color, even if it’s just another neutral. Expand your horizons a little, and your options open up. That’s why I love that UGG Australia comes out with new colors in their Classic collection every season. There are, of course, the core colors of Chestnut, Chocolate, Black and Sand, but why not get a little daring with the new Dusty Wysteria? Even if you are devoted to black more than an undertaker, this subtle purple will add just a dash of color without the abrasiveness of a more pigmented hue.

Maybe, like me, you avoid patterns and prefer to stick to a strict “one color per item” policy. In that case, let shoes be where you are daring! Check out the new Classic Tall Stripe Cable Knit in Dusty Wysteria Seashell Rose or Adriatic Blue Soothing Sea. The name itself will spice up your closet!

Much though I love UGG Australia boots, I do have to admit that the Classics are not for everyone. I do love my Classic Short Eggplant boots (probably more than I should), but there are some people for whom this look simply does not fit the image they want to portray to the world. Thank goodness UGG has some new styles, such as the very “in” tall and slouchy Highkoo.

If you think about it, UGG Australia is proof that you can meld the old with the new; the Classic Short has been around since the ’70′s and yet each season the brand churns out new and exciting styles! Rather than discarding the items you’ve been happily wearing for years, just add a new kick to it. Embrace the old and welcome the new!
