Whether or not your closet really needs "changing," there's always room for some new basics to freshen things up. We all have those "boring" basics we know and love, so elevated, special basics will make the most wardrobe impact while still working effortlessly with the items you already have.
If you've yet to begin shopping for fall (it's time, folks), consider this a great place to start. I spent the better part of an afternoon scouring the internet for the chicest, most wearable, and ultimately "worth it" basics to boost your closet. Below, you'll find jackets, skirts, denim, shoes, and all of the other versatile items that'll make your closet infinitely chicer—trust me.
If you're ready to do some shopping that won't break the bank, scroll on to see my carefully selected picks, several of which I admittedly added to my cart along the way.
