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.
Bold Basics
Note the color: This chartreuse tone isn't going anywhere, so you can wear it now with a miniskirt or this fall layered under your coat of choice.
This yummy chocolate brown is super elevated in my book, and I know I'll wear this top from brunch to drinks.
A classic bodysuit you absolutely need in your wardrobe if you don't have one by now.
Another classic that deserves a space in your wardrobe, especially in this powder-pink color.
Not your regular tee. This one is a high-compression crew-neck that acts as shapewear, too.
Denim
Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Buy the distressed skinnies.
I love the raw hem on these wide-leg jeans.
I'm reserving this pair to style with the chocolate-brown one-shoulder top above.
The 4-Way stretch technology on these jeans makes them the comfiest high waist you will ever wear.
Dresses
A slip dress is the ultimate classic to have in your wardrobe, especially in a fun color.
We're big fans of a tiered puff-sleeve dress here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing . You can't go wrong with this style.
Smart Separates
Off-the-shoulder is a major trend right now, but what keeps this top a classic is the neutral tone.
Bonus points if you get this matching skirt into your wardrobe rotation.
A pretty top to style with unexpected bottoms, like a pair of Bermuda shorts.
If you have any events on your calendar, this skirt will do the trick.
There are leggings, and then there are compression leggings that really hold everything together.
Key Accessories
For those who aren't ready to try Y2K inspired mirror sunglasses, these classic shades are for you.
Nayiri isBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing 's senior fashion editor for branded content and based in her hometown, Los Angeles. It all began in 2014 when she landed an internship at the company and never looked back. While she does love writing her fair share of fashion stories, her heart really belongs in the brainstorm room, where she has fun strategizing different ways to create content with our fashion partners so that you engage with the brands you know and love. Her style tends to be more classic (she loves a good black-and-white look with gold accessories), and white pumps are kind of her thing. If she had to pick one person's wardrobe to raid, it would be Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's, and she also has a major obsession with interior design. She's a mom to a 1-year-old baby girl named Sophie, and she fully plans on training her to spot fashion trends by the time she's 10. That's all!
