Coming in at second place is the LBD, with a quarter of women claiming the classically sexy and chic option as a favourite. Paired with heels, a red lip and statement jewellery (opens in new tab), it's insanely simple yet so effective.

Also nabbing a spot in the top ten are notorious bits from decades past, like the platform shoes and flared trousers made famous in the 60s and 70s and the shoulder pads known for their prominence in 1980s fashion.

Half of the study's participants agreed that they rate their long lasting wardrobe items so highly because they "go with everything", while the other half have clung on to the classics because they fit perfectly.
