It’s recently come to my attention that a lot of the basic items that the fashion world is dubbing "cool” right now are not just quite casual but comfortable, too. From my favorite new legging trend that’s changing the way I dress to the denim style Hailey Bieber is obsessed with to the random sock style everyone is wearing, it seems like feel-good fashion is in, and uncomfortable, restrictive pieces are on the way out.
As some of us are spending more and more time in our homes for the foreseeable future, such a shift couldn’t have come at a better time. With that, to see all five of the "cool” basics in action and shop my top picks for each along the way, just keep scrolling.
