Whether it’s the perfectly scuffed leather jacket, or the Casio watch that never stops ticking, there are some purchases you’ll go back to time and time again. Here is our definitive list of classics that, once bought, will outlast any fad.
501s
In a world of fast fashion, it’s pretty impressive that Levis have retained their style credentials after all these years. Whether you pick them up in a charity shop, or splash out on a new pair, it’s safe to say that a pair of Levi’s are going to see you through a few summers at least.
Polaroid
So you might not get the luxury of endless retakes and careful editing, but paying per shot forces you to think carefully about your photography, and throws up some pretty special results. Also, having a physical copy of your photo within minutes of taking it never gets old. In fact, if you want to win a Polaroid of your own, just enter our competition here.
Rubik’s Cube
Okay, so we can see you rolling your eyes from here. Say classic anything and everyone thinks of a Rubik’s Cube, right? You might want to rethink your prejudice though. It’s surprisingly refreshing to own some form of entertainment that doesn’t require charging, and having the ability to solve said Rubik’s Cube in under a minute will forever remain one of the best party tricks.
Record Player
Say whatever you want about vinyls and their hipster fan club, but there’s no denying that record players provide a unique (arguably crisper) sound, and they’re a pretty cool addition to any apartment. Even if you never use it, it’ll pay for itself in all the admiring looks you get.
Soreen
Sure we’re a classic (over 70 years old now) but we’ve always got new additions too… Orange Loaf does the trick for a summer picnic and Lunchbox Loaves, well they’re the perfect little snack for on the go and only 95kcals or less each! Check out the full range of classics here!
