Which items in your closet do you wear the most? My guess is your answer comes in the form of some kind of trusty basic—whether it's a pair of high-waisted jeans, a classic staple sweater, or a timeless pair of black ankle boots. Our basics are the bread and butter of our wardrobes and are pieces we can lean on time and time again to ground our looks and mix-and-match easily with everything else in our closet. And for most of us right now, we're embracing more laid-back basics thanks to our new home-centered reality.
If it’s time to update your sartorial essentials but you don’t want to spend a ton, then read on, because today, we’re sharing a whole host of stylish staples from some of our favorite retailers for under $100. These not only look cool but are also supremely comfortable. Just what we find ourselves needing the most right now.
