Some people are slaves to the fad and follow one fashion trend right after another. Other people tend to be more classically motivated and can manage on just a few new key items every year and somehow they still seem eternally stylish. If you want to master the classic look follow these steps to move from trendy to traditional.

First of all, establish your own style. Are you a professional, a stay-at-home mom, an athlete, or a club goer? Whatever your personal lifestyle is, your wardrobe should reflect your personality. The athlete and stay-at-home mom just can

After floundering for years, Levi’s, the original jeans maker has made a comeback with a variety of styles and price points.

Capital E, the manufacturer’s premium line, offers handmade jeans with single needle double-stitched seams in a variety of silhouettes and rinses from the increasingly popular wide-legged jean to skinny jeans to long shorts. Prices run from $165 to $245.

The vintage collection offers reproductions of classic levis from the maker’s archives. This men’s collection features hand-rolled 1955 501 jeans to vintage chinos from 1915. It’s a pricey line, jeans start at $154 and go up to $501, but these one-of-a-kind items are the perfect gift for the man who has everything.

Speaking of classics, the 501 collection features the original button-front jeans for men and women. Prices start as low as $48 for a pair of women’s original 501s.

Levi’s Eco Jeans are made from 100 percent organic cotton grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Prices run from $58 to $245.

“Feel like a woman. Wear a dress.” Thirty-five years ago, Diane von Furstenberg launched her iconic wrap dress with that slogan. Five million dresses later, in 1976, Diane was featured on the cover of Newsweek and hailed as the most marketable designer since Coco Chanel. It’s easy to see why the dress was such a hit: The a-line skirt floats away from the hips, making the cinched waist look smaller. The dress also subtly emphasizes the bust. The jersey fabric drapes like a dream; you can roll it into a ball and it won’t get wrinkled.

In the mid-1980s Diane left the fashion business. She came back in 1997 with a small line of silk jersey dresses that she sold on TV. After the line sold out within a day, Diane decided to relaunch her line in New York. Today, she is more successful than ever. In addition to the wrap dress, Diane expanded the line to include sportswear, swimwear, accessories, cosmetics, fine jewelry, and luggage. Several department stores carry the line, and by January there will be 22 freestanding boutiques, including locations in LA, New York and Miami.

And the dress is more popular than ever for women of all ages. Here are some tips for wearing the dress:

• For winter, wear boots or booties and opaque tights that match your footwear.
• Wear a camisole underneath if you’re uncomfortable with the low-ish neckline.
• Replace the sash with a wide belt; try patent leather for a modern take.
• Wear a jacket over the dress for a more business-like look.
• Layer on beads of different lengths to pull attention up to your face.
