17 Game-Changing Basics Our Editors Can't Stop Repeating
Is there any better feeling than finally finding that perfect white T-shirt that makes getting dressed so much easier every week? How about finding the perfect T-shirt, jeans, turtleneck, trousers, blazer, and more, all with minimal effort and all at the same time? Yeah, I know it sounds too good to be true, but after seeing how much our readers took away from our sharing the basic outfits we wear on repeat, I figured why not take it one step further by breaking down the actual pieces we couldn’t live without.
So with that in mind, I recently reached out to the squad (aka my fellow editors here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing ) and forced them to spill the deets on just that. As always, they delivered beyond my expectations and even forced me to add a few items to my cart in the process. To see, read about, and shop all 17 of the basics our team wears over and over again, just keep scrolling.

"After wearing boots and pretty much boots alone this entire winter, I was desperate for a transitional shoe that was basic but still a little exciting. These square-toe lace-up heels were just the thing I needed and the amount I wear them is honestly troubling. I might need to buy a second pair soon."
Allyson Payer, Senior Editor
Bobby Schuessler, Senior Market Editor
Kristen Nichols, Managing Editor
"I bought this leather trench last year and it has easily become my most-worn piece of outerwear. It feels a bit more grown-up and tailored that the leather biker jacket I used to rely on and looks good layered over practically anything. My Nanushka version sold out, but Apparis has a similar vegan one."
Judith Jones, Market Editor
Anna LaPlaca, Associate Editor
"After wearing all my sweaters to death over the past few months, this knit polo feels like a breath of fresh air and the perfect transition into spring while it still feels like winter. I'm so charmed by the details on this top, like the baby ruffle sleeves, pointelle open-knit texture, and the gold closure."
Next, seven spring trends that are worth your money, even if it's just $10.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
