For years here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , we have been singing the praises of the capsule wardrobe. People everywhere have given up on testing new internet trends or embracing different “core” fashion movements (cottagecore, mermaidcore, the mob wife aesthetic, the list goes on) and are focused on high-quality basics you can easily mix in with items in your wardrobe. These pieces will last you longer than a season and are versatile enough to be styled from work to weekend, brunch to a travel day, first date to a housewarming party. You name it; these basics work for it. I decided this year I'm giving up the trendier pieces I've collected and only adding stellar basics to my closet. I rolled up my sleeves and got to scrolling on my favorite retailers on the hunt for the perfect basics, but of course, I wanted to keep budget in mind.
Keep scrolling to see the epic under-$100 basics I'm loving at the moment.
