If a NYC Fashion Person Were Scrolling Through Amazon, They'd Buy These 27 Basics


We all know basics are the building blocks to any good wardrobe. That said, finding solid, chic pieces is a whole other feat. Well, as your resident fashion expert and shopping editor, I'm here to make that task just a little bit easier. I’ve searched and scoured Amazon's robust selection of online goods and found the best basics that rival more expensive finds. If you're looking to add some pieces you can reach for over and over again without fail, then look no further.
I've lived in both L.A. and NYC and can guarantee you that fashion people all over would find a piece or two worth snagging in this editor-approved lineup of top-tier basics. In the mix, you can expect to find easy dresses, gorgeous denim, elevated tops, and so much more. Keep scrolling to give your basics a much-needed refresh now.
