In a world obsessed with fast fashion, instant gratification, and fleeting TikTok trends, the idea of investing in timeless pieces might seem a bit outdated. However, if there’s anything the cyclical nature of fashion has taught us, it’s that style is eternal and some things never go out of vogue. 

While it’s easy to get swept up by trends, there’s a deep satisfaction that comes with investing in rather than quantity. 

Here are a few timeless pieces that are worth the splurge. 

A Well-Cut Jacket or Blazer

Nothing says “I’ve got it all together” quite like a well-cut jacket or Blazer. Whether paired with denim for a smart-casual look or layered over a dress for a power-packed presentation, a good blazer is a wardrobe workhorse.

We’re talking structure, tailoring, and fabric that holds its shape without clinging. While black and navy are timeless, don’t shy away from bold colors if they suit your personality.  

The Little Black Dress

The little black dress is more than just a wardrobe staple—it’s fashion’s version of a safety net. No matter the occasion, no matter your mood, the little black dress always delivers. It’s understated, yet powerful. Simple, yet stunning. It’s one timeless piece that can never fail.

Tailored Trousers 

You haven’t lived until you’ve slipped into a pair of tailored trousers that fit just right. Forget the trendy wide-leg pants that come and go. A well-cut pair of trousers never goes out of style. 

Tailored trousers are one of those timeless pieces that form the bedrock of polished dressing. Pair them with a crisp white shirt for a work-ready look, or with a slouchy tee when you are off duty but need to look elegant. 

Quality Denim

We’ve all been guilty of buying cheap jeans that lose their shape after two washes. And we’ve all regretted it. That’s why investing in premium denim is a decision your closet will thank you for.

Whether you prefer skinny, straight-leg, or bootcut, the right pair of jeans becomes your go-to for everything from brunch to trips. 

Don’t flinch at the price tag- When you consider cost-per-wear, quality denim pays for itself ten times over. 

Silk Blouse

There’s something about silk that’s undeniably luxurious. The way it drapes, the soft sheen, the feel on your skin; it is the ultimate in quiet luxury.

A silk blouse, especially in classic colors like ivory, blush, or navy, works for nearly every setting. Wear it with trousers to work, with jeans for dinner, or tucked into a skirt for Sunday service. It’s sophisticated without trying too hard.

A good silk blouse do not just elevate your outfit; it brings up a whole different mood. 

To splurge doesn’t mean to spend recklessly. It means to choose with care. To prioritize quality, story, and longevity over trends.

When it comes to fashion, Beverly Naya never misses. The award-winning actress and filmmaker has long been admired for her graceful presence on screen, but her style off-screen is just as captivating. Known for her ability to blend simplicity with sophistication, Beverly’s fashion sense echoes her personality: elegant, intentional, and effortlessly cool.

Over the years, she’s explored various of styles, but one thing stands out consistently: her love for monochrome. Whether she’s dressed in striking black or a mix of black and white, Beverly makes it clear that looking stylish doesn’t always require loud prints or bold colors. Sometimes, the power lies in the simplicity of a single tone and how well it’s worn.

Here are three times Beverly Naya embodied monochrome casual chic and made it look absolutely effortless.

1. Pinafore Perfection — March 10, 2025

On a calm Monday, Beverly showed us how to begin the week in style. Posting a photo with the caption “dressed on Monday,” she stunned in a pinafore gown with a black exterior and a white inner layer. The youthful and modern silhouette of the dress gave off an effortless vibe, while her accessories added to the polished feel. She paired the outfit with black pop socks that gave it a trendy, street-style twist and finished the look with a clean white purse that popped against the darker tones.

Her curly virgin hair framed her face beautifully in a soft afro, while a tiny silver earring and matching bracelet subtly completed the ensemble. This look was stylish, wearable, and perfect for a casual day out—Beverly’s version of Monday motivation done right.

2. The Rose Effect — November 4, 2024

This look was poetry in motion. For a night that marked 25 years of extraordinary artistry with Tiffany Berng, Beverly dressed like a vision and later shared the evening with her NaijaNetflix family. Captioning the photo “You can call me rose,” she brought a soft drama to her look that felt luxurious without being over the top.

She wore a black gown tailored like a suit, structured yet graceful. At the hem, delicate Caribbean-style falls added flow and texture, softening the outfit’s strong silhouette. Her hair was pulled into a slicked-back style, adorned with a single rose flower, which also appeared as a statement detail on her black heels. It was the kind of look that speaks without saying a word—bold, stylish, and completely in control. Every element, from her soft glam makeup to the poetic symbolism of the rose, showed Beverly’s ability to turn a simple monochrome outfit into a red carpet-worthy moment.

3. Chic and Playful — October 29, 2024

With the caption “my best era,” Beverly reminded us all that being stylish can also be fun. In this all-black ensemble, she struck the perfect balance between edgy and feminine. She stepped out in a soft black chiffon shirt and a short black skirt that added a flirty, youthful vibe to her look. A subtle tie detail added just the right amount of edge, suggesting a preppy twist without compromising on elegance.

Her curly hair was styled into a soft bun, and a bold silver ring added sparkle to her hands. She held a stainless steel-inspired purse and wore shiny earrings that caught the light as she smiled. The look was effortlessly cool and modern—proving once again that Beverly knows how to own casual chic in her own unique way.

Beverly Naya does not miss, and she didn’t this time either. She stepped out in an olive green midi dress that whispered luxury in the classiest tone ever. The fabric looked buttery smooth, like something between silk and satin, and it hugged her figure like a custom dream. The neckline? A simple high cowl neck that said, “I don’t need to try hard.”

Spotted in a photoshoot, Prudent came through looking like a walking piece of modern art on her very own design from her brand, and we loved it! Her body-hugging midi dress played with color and geometry in the most interesting way. Burgundy red formed the base, clean and rich, while a dusty blue panel sliced right down the center, stretching from shoulder to hem in a sharp, almost futuristic cut.

It gave “boss woman with an eye for edgy elegance.” The structure of the dress was bold but balanced, and her sharp bob hairstyle added even more power to the look. She kept accessories simple, just a gold bracelet and her nails done to perfection. The whole fit was modern, fashion-forward, and a masterclass in how to make a statement without shouting.

Veekee James: Royalty in Sequins and Silk

Veekee James did what needed to be done at the wedding ceremony of Nashaira Belisa. Her gown? A rich, regal mix of deep purple and emerald green that screamed red carpet royalty. The bottom half sparkled with purple sequins, like a galaxy of stars sewn into fabric—while the top half cinched her waist in a corset-style emerald green bodice that brought all the drama and all the elegance.

She didn’t stop there. A matching emerald chiffon flowed from the waist like a queen’s cape, and the purple headwrap? Perfectly sculpted, echoing the sparkle of her dress. Her metallic purple purse tied everything together, and with makeup that highlighted her natural glow, the whole look was pure opulence. If there was an award for coordination, she’d win it hands down.

Tolu Bally served futuristic glam with a soft touch of sensuality. She wore a lime-green floor-length gown that fit like it was made by the fashion gods themselves. It had a snatched bodice with a plunging neckline and a cheeky keyhole detail that kept things spicy. But the real moment? Forest-green lace accents around the neckline and waist that added just the right amount of contrast and flair.

Then came the drama, long lace gloves climbing all the way to her shoulders. It was giving Old Hollywood meets Afro-glam. A delicate silver necklace was her only accessory, letting the dress do all the talking. She had worn this design from her brand 2207bytbally to celebrate with Damilola Adegbite (Adedamee) on her birthday and trust us, it had a lot to say.
