Money Saving Tip: Classic Clothes

Here's an idea for saving money on clothes purchases:

Stock your wardrobe with classic pieces that don’t quickly go out of style. Buy only one or two trendy items each season, or save more money by using accessories like belts, scarves and ties to stay current instead of purchasing entire outfits.

This is much easier for guys (the clothes part at least -- guys are usually low on the accessory scale), but women can take advantage of it as well. My wife has clothes that she's worn for years, but somehow always makes them seem new and in style. Maybe I think that just because it's her in them. ;-)
