1. A Ralph Lauren Polo Classic White T-Shirt
American fashion staples 101: a Ralph Lauren Polo white tee.
Sure, a basic white t-shirt is considered a fashion staple around the globe. However, a Ralph Lauren Polo branded version is ageless to tourists based outside of the US.
NGL, it’s the perfect casual top to wear with blue jeans and comfy trainers. Its superior quality also means that you can also wear it for nighttime occasions, whether you’re going out for date night or drinks with the girls.
Just add a black satin midi skirt, block-heeled sandals and a clutch bag for a simple yet stylish look.
2. A Pair of Levi Slim-Fitting Jeans
It’s no secret that every fashionista yearns for an ageless pair of blue Levi’s, wherever they live in the world.
Why? Well, Levi’s originated in the States in 1873 when labourers required some sturdy overalls to wear to work during the California Gold Rush. They then saw a resurgence in the 1970s when hippies paired bell-bottom versions with floral shirts to give a whole new meaning to the phrase “flower power.”
Nowadays, Levi’s are seen as iconic all around the world. And the best thing about them is that they’re high in quality and will last for years!
3. A Coach Handbag and Matching Purse
Lastly, one of our favourite American fashion staples is a matching leather tote and purse from Coach.
Coach is a US-based fashion company known for their dreamy handbag collections. And you can’t go wrong with a leather tote.
Whether you’re heading to your local shopping centre or meeting a friend for post-work drinks, this handbag style is just as practical as it versatile.
Just make sure you pick up a classic colour, such as black, white or tan, so that your Coach bag can be worn with any outfit and transcend seasons.
