Basics are typically considered the backbone of a wardrobe given their ease and versatility. Go-to basics for many (myself included) are items like white T-shirts, straight-leg jeans, and so on. There are also staples that are considered “next-level basics,” or as I’m referring to here as “beautiful basics.” These pieces are still versatile and can be styled with a range of pieces but have design features that feel particularly refined.
Below, I rounded up four gorgeous basics because of elegant silhouettes and trend-forward fabrics. Keep scrolling for visual inspiration and a range of shopping recommendations if you want to add one or all of the basics to your closet in 2025.
Tailored Blazer
A tailored blazer or a cinched-in silhouette is inherently sharp yet pretty. You can team one with anything—from jeans to a skirt—and your look will be forward and elegant.
