Peanut butter and jelly. Sunsets and rosé. Brangelina. Some things are just better together. 

The same is true when it comes to fashion. Certain items in your closet just work better with others. And for good reason: Classic style pairings stand the test of time because they complement each other and help answer that age-old question, “If I were to run into my ex wearing this outfit, would they kick themselves with regret?”

Ahead, we show you fashion’s must-own pairs that you probably already own (and if you don’t, it’s high time you do). Plus, we introduce a new “wild card” to complete each look in a way that’s unexpected and fresh.
