I Always Buy Classic Pieces—Here Are 25 Wardrobe Builders I'm Shopping For RN
Sponsor Content Created With Express
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which oneBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing team member or friend of the brand shares the top 25 finds on their current wish list.
In case you're new here and we haven't met, let me introduce myself: My name is Nayiri. I'm a sucker for classic wardrobe builders. Throw a bodysuit and a pair of slim-straight jeans at me, and I can put together approximately three full outfits and tell you where to wear them. What can I say? I'm a natural.
But I wasn't always this way. I've gone through my fair share of experimenting with trends simply because they were trends, only to discover that I actually just wasted all of my money because they weren't pieces I personally loved. Over time, I've narrowed down the pieces I shop for into two categories: classic wardrobe builders and fun investment pieces I will wear forever. Right now, I'm looking for the former, and I'm turning to my go-to destination, Express, to find them. Between the luxe-feeling staples from the brand's Body Contour category to its selection of comfortable high-waisted jeans, I legit have zero reasons to shop anywhere else for these classics. See all of my picks below.
