Basics are the unsung heroes of our wardrobes, often doing the heavy lifting when it comes to constructing an outfit of note. I'm one to cut corners where I can, but I also recognize that a well-made T-shirt has the ability to make an ensemble. Case in point: A sequin midi skirt with a simple white tee is a holiday-party cornerstone, but it just doesn't have the same effect when said tee is too flimsy or lacking shape. That being said, whenever I need to stock up on cool basics, I usually head toReplica Store first. In case you didn't know, it has some of the best basics brands—like COS, Madewell, and Other Stories—all in one place. The convenience is extremely satisfying.
This season, I'm specifically on the lookout for elevated basics to add into my rotation. Dark-wash denim, everyday sweaters, and sneakers are all on my list, so I spent an embarrassing amount of time thumbing throughReplica Store's selection. The 30 pieces below made the cut.
Happy shopping!
A white miniskirt feels fresh right now.
The fit of this sweater is unmatched.
These are so Claudia Schiffer in the '90s.
I'm loving this short-sleeved take on a classic cardigan.
I don't know this brand, but it makes a fine pair of Mary Janes!
I'll be wearing wide-leg trousers until further notice, thanks.
I'd wear this with a pair of oval, wire-rimmed sunglasses and a good white tee.
A perfect column dress.
The color combination is very "elementary school boy," and I love it.
Streamlined and chic is my bottom line.
Madewell makes the best basics, and this white T-shirt is no exception.
So many good Mango finds!
Take note. The fashion set approves.
Clean lines, full heart.
It's the front slit and seaming for me.
I prefer a charcoal cardigan over black right now.
A silk-blend cardigan would look so nice on top of this.
Prints are a great way to dress up your basics.
An interesting collar is a great way to change up your standard cardigan.
Pretty.
Great!
There's slight ruching on the sides of this top, which adds a nice amount of interest.
Dark-wash jeans with a cuff are going to be a big trend in 2025.
An understated purse to go with your understated outfits.
The full skirt and flutter sleeves make this dress a no-brainer for everyday dressing.
These will definitely sell out once this trend catches on.
I'd pair this with black pants or jeans in a similar shade for a denim-on-denim look.
A vest versatile enough to go from work to date-night dinner.
I'm suddenly all about belts, and I love the metalwork on this one.
Nothing says quiet luxury like a wrap coat.
