Few things truly never go out of style.

Cork wedges come and go, but here are 10 things that will never leave you looking dated:

#1. Being on time

#2. Remembering names

#3. Putting your shopping cart away

#4. Doing what you say you’ll do

#5. Making and keeping eye contact

#6. Giving genuine compliments

#7. A pair of jeans that fit just right

#8. Using clean language

#9. Wearing sunscreen

#10. Being coachable 

If you commit to doing these things each day, I can guarantee you 3 things will happen:

People will enjoy being around you.

Tech will never be able to replace you.

You will sleep really, really well at night.

Everyone’s in search of the secret sauce, when the magic has always been in doing the basics well. 

Is there a timeless principle that we missed? Tell us here.

When YOU are timeless, your wardrobe doesn’t have to be.

Here are 5 of the top women’s fashion trends for 2024, as revealed by Vogue :

Unlock the archives… 80’s looks are back, girls. If you have daughters, make sure you’re throwing absolutely nothing away. If the sequined bag from Y2K can come back into style, nothing is safe. 

Save the drama for your… sleeves? Full, asymmetrical, long, puffy - anything and everything goes this year except boring. Moms proceed with caution… If you’ve ever reached across the dinner table in a sleeve of any kind, you know what I mean.

Coats of many colors. This feels like a love letter to me, personally? Any other coat lovers? It’s our time to shine. According to the experts, the more embellished the better. Twist my arm, just don’t ruffle my beautiful bell sleeve.

Suits is not just a show we all binged for a month straight last year. Tailored suites are set to be an easy way to spot the ‘it’ girl in 2024. Masculine cut, neckties optional. The girls who can do it, better do it for the rest of us who would end up looking like Danny DeVito instead of Blake Lively. 

Canadian Tuxedos are going worldwide. Allll denim everything in 2024. Our accessories are screaming with glee because there’s no bold earring and necklace combination that a denim set doesn’t love.

I know we covered ‘put your shopping cart away’ pretty quickly, but I’m so serious.
