I Like Classic Pieces With a Twist—51 Exceptional Basics I'm Eyeing This Season
When it comes to my personal aesthetic, I like to call myself an expressive minimalist. By that, I mean I love to seek out classic items with a twist. Think quiet luxury but with a bit of flair! The runways have been leaning into this aesthetic in 2024, jazzing up clean silhouettes with unexpected pop of colors, statement cuts, and unique details, and these designs ooze a vibe that feels elevated yet interesting.
With a new season approaching, I've searched high and low at our favorite retailers to bring you an edit of artful classics that feel of the moment and cool and have a timeless nature to them. Think crochet details, fresh linen pieces, and summer footwear with expressive details. Keep scrolling below for the ultra-wearable, fashion-forward everyday styles.
We love a striped tank, and the crochet feels extra summery.
The statement metal embellishment amps up these strappy sandals.
A black dress you can take from boardroom (styled over the matching pants) to bar in style.
Low, loose, and cuffed—the fashion-forward jeans you need right now.
It's all about A-line skirts this season, and this one strikes the perfect balance of classic yet expressive.
When you want a simple linen dress that looks anything but basic.
Striped linen pants when you want to look casual yet polished.
