What’s the secret to picking out a genuinely timeless dress?

There are many reasons why modest fashion never goes out of style– but one word that comes to mind for us is ‘timeless’.We find so many styles that our grandmothers and mothers wore that just keep coming back into style + our closets.

Here at Inherit we aren’t about the ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ styles that are trending, but probably won’t be talking about in six months’ or a year’s time. We desire to be your go to stop for styles that are cute + in touch with modern fashion, but transcend the trends. We are curious, how do you find classic & timeless modest dresses? Is there an ‘art’ to doing it, or do you think simply any modest style is timeless? Which is more timeless--solids or stripes? 

If you’ve seen our selection of classic & timeless modest dresses, you can tell we have a hard time deciding.
