I Was Bored, so I Made a List of the Best Fall Basics With a Little Twist

Basics are important and quite necessary to one's wardrobe, but as someone who has been sitting in sweatpants and hoodies day after day for the past 6 months, I have been itching for something a little more exciting. While doing my usual online shopping (both for work and personally) I have noticed that there is a new trend wave in town and it's all about basic pieces with a little twist. We're talking warped necklines, exaggerated collars, cool cutouts, and more.
This is definitely one of those market trends that is hard to explain, but once you scroll through the 28 basics with a twist below, you'll know exactly what I mean. Including everything from shoes to outerwear, consider these fall finds crucial to jazzing up your seasonal wardrobe with minimal effort.
Asymmetrical necklines are the easiest way to jazz up a simple long-sleeve tee and jeans look.
If you're already a fan of classic Birkenstocks, this shearling-lined pair is a must-have.
Quite possibly the coolest cropped T-shirt I've ever seen.
Looks like a polo shirt, shacket, and cardigan all in one.
The collar on this vegan leather shirt makes it worth every penny.
For when you want to wear something nicer than a hoodie but just as comfortable as pajamas.
Good luck finding a cardigan that's more interesting than this.
You can never go wrong with a detail-ridden vegan leather dress.
The buttons on the sleeves and the thigh-high slit make this dress much more exciting than a simple maxi.
The best part about this set is that you can wear it together or separately.
Yes, everyone is still wearing these.
Next up, discover the 5 biggest color trends we'll be wearing in 2021.
