Each season, fashion trends come and go, leaving wallets empty and closets filled with pieces that are left unworn after the seasonal trends fade. With February 2012 being a leap year, Legends Outlets Kansas City recognizes the need to invest in high-quality, timeless fashions that can act as a stylish investment and stay on trend through leap year 2016. Find new looks this leap year from the top names in style and fashion with savings of up to 65 percent off everyday retail prices. Legends Outlets fashion experts provide insight on how to add on-trend timeless fashions this season that will last throughout the years:

•Long-lasting Leather – Instead of switching out your handbag each season, invest in a style that is sure to make a statement throughout the years. A high-quality leather handbag acts as a truly long-lasting and versatile accessory that can be carried for many occasions and can hold all of your everyday essentials. For a bag that is sure to outshine season-to-season color trends, look for a structured tote or satchel in neutral shades, like light grey or a nude hue. (Suggested Outlet Retailers: Cole Haan, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, and Wilsons Leather Outlet.)
•Polished Pencil Skirts – For a skirt that will continuously make a style comeback, a structured pencil skirt is a look that endures shifting seasonal trends. With bursts of color being forecasted as a top style for spring 2012, invest in a bold pencil skirt that is on-trend this season and will add color to your ensemble in a poppy red, royal blue or deep purple hue. (Suggested Outlet Retailers: BCBGMAXAZRIA Factory, J.Crew | Crewcuts and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH.)•Timeless Timepiece – For countless years, watches have been one of the most lust-worthy accessories, with styles ranging in a variety of metal shades and looks. For a truly timeless timepiece that can be worn throughout the years, a classic silver or gold chain-link watch will always be on-trend. (Suggested Retailers: Helzberg Diamonds Outlet, ULTRA Diamonds and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH.)•Classic Cashmere – For both men and women, a high-quality cashmere sweater is a piece that is essential to the closet. This ultra-soft and stylish fabric always stays on-trend throughout the seasons and can add a classic style to seasonal accessories and fashions. For a sweater that will be treasured for years to come, look for a versatile color and style, like a sophisticated crewneck cashmere sweater in navy, red or neutral hues. (Suggested Outlet Retailers: Brooks Brothers Factory Store and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH.)
•Traditional Trench – When investing in fashions that are both versatile and on-trend, a traditional trench coat is one look that is sure to be put to use throughout the changing seasons and style forecasts. A classic camel tone trench acts as both a light layering piece to protect against rain showers and cool breezes. (Suggested Outlet Retailers: Banana Republic Factory Store and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH.)
•Sophisticated Stripes – One pattern that makes a style statement each season are stripes. Perhaps it’s the Parisian chic effect that stripes play up or the fact that stripes can easily be dressed up or down to make a fashion statement. Regardless, a sophisticated striped top is a piece that can be worn year-round. To ensure ultimate versatility, opt for a quarter-length or lightweight, long-sleeve striped sweater in an everlasting navy or black and white theme. (Suggested Outlet Retailers: Banana Republic Factory Store, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Tommy Hilfiger, and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH.)
