What it concludes

Calling newly designed fashion collections "timeless" assumes that human tastes and fashion never evolve.
Promoting neutral basics as "timeless" dilutes the meaning of the term and homogenizes personal style.
Paying premium prices for basic capsule wardrobe items is justified by brands through understated aesthetic appeal rather than true timelessness.
Embracing personal style and risking looking "dumb" is better than defaulting to engineered generic wardrobe solutions.
