Basics are my most worn pieces. While I love colors and prints, I often find myself in neutrals. It’s the same with silhouettes. I know what I like, and I stick to it. The ease of throwing on two basics and knowing I will always look put-together allows me to save time and energy. In honor of my apparent love for basics, I’ve curated a list of 33 elevated basics, each intended to be mixed and matched for an endless array of effortlessly stylish outfits.
Gap, H&M, and Old Navy are my go-to spots for elevated basics. Budget-friendly and trendsetting, these editor-favorite retailers consistently deliver chic new arrivals as well as closet staples. Think modern camis, barrel jeans, crisp poplin button-downs, cashmere sweaters, and more. I stuck to a neutral color palette of ivory, mocha, gray, and black to ensure each item’s versatility.
If you’re like me and mostly live in basics or are just in need of some closet staples.
