You can never have too many basics. As they're the building blocks of any closet, it's important to refresh your basic staples regularly. I consider it my duty to keep your closet current, so I've spent a substantial amount of time scanning top retailers for chic basics. I took to Reformation, Abercrombie Fitch, and H&M to identify really solid pieces that serve as outfit essentials you'll wear over and over.
As summer slowly turns into fall, now is the best time to take a second look at your closet staples. Take stock of what you have and want to keep, then identify any needed wardrobe updates. Below, you'll find ultra-stylish selections I've picked for you, including go-with-everything tops, vintage-looking denim, and so much more.
