25 Under-$25 Basics That Will Become Part of Your Everyday Wardrobe

Basics are the backbone to any chic wardrobe, and more often than not, buying a fresh style or two can help me unlock a slew of outfit ideas. This season, I'm looking to give my staples an update without spending my entire paycheck. (It was an expensive holiday season, after all.) I firmly believe that you don't have to spend a ton of money on basics to get a chic look. A good friend who works in fashion suggested I scroll through Walmart's offerings, and I'm so glad I did. The price points are just right, and there are a whole host of styles with top-notch reviews I can't wait to try. Moreover, legendary designer Brandon Maxwell is now the creative director of Walmart's in-house brand Scoop, which offers so many elevated styles at accessible price points.
I scoured the site to save you time and effort, and below, I'm bringing you 25 chic basics for under $25, including tank tops, tees, staple jeans, and more. Music to my ears! Keep scrolling to find some of my favorite staples that are sure to become a part of your everyday wardrobe.
