While I'm always down for a new trend on the fashion scene, but having too many trendy items can lead to outfit stumps in the morning. If you invest time into curating a solid selection of basics, you'll find it easier to style the "out-there" items you add to your wardrobe. Even though they're called "basics" doesn't mean they have to actually be basic, and Other Stories proves that with their selection. The brand always releases pieces that meet the lines between trendy and classic and creates staples that still feel special despite the minimal design.
While I'll still be trickling a few fun pieces into the rotation, I could use some basics in the mix to make my outfit planning more seamless. Other Stories' new arrivals is chockful of everything you could possibly need for this spring season and beyond, so I searched through all the pages of their site for my favorites. The selection below is one you're not going to want to miss out on because some items are already selling fast.
Bye-bye skinny jeans.
The sandals you'll be wearing all season.

This top may not look like a basic, but trust me—you can wear it with anything. Jeans? Check. Skirt? Check. Trousers? Check.

For those "throw on a sweater and jeans" kind of days.
This is what I mean when I say Other Stories makes special basics. They take a cream sweater, but add a beautiful neckline and puffed sleeve.
Minimal and chic.
What a gorgeous belt.
