Our closets have seen their fair share of trends come and go. We can’t help it—there's just something so exciting about buying into the new colors, patterns, and silhouettes that pop up each and every season. And while we look forward to the standout pieces that each new collection brings, we wanted to take a second to get back to the basics.
You're very familiar with the 'not-to-be-messed-with' wardrobe staples we're talking about—that perfect white tee, those go-to black booties, and your classic pair of jeans. You can rest assured these key pieces will never go out of style (cue that Taylor Swift song) or lose their street-chic appeal.
They're reliable, versatile, and timeless. Simply put, basics are the building blocks of a perfect wardrobe.
Your staples get a lot of milage—and sometimes you have to give in and freshen things up. So we’re arming you with a few new go-to's to consider adding to your rotation. No matter which of-the-moment pieces you choose to invest in this fall, these basics will always play a part in bringing them together.
