Lately, I have been taking inventory of my closet, especially of my collection of basics to check what might need an update. Basics are the backbone of my outfit rotations, so they are always top of mind. At the beginning of a new season, or at least in anticipation of one, I decide what pieces it is time to store (or even sell and donate) and then I make room for fresh additions with focus on what is currently trending. With the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days now in full swing until tomorrow October 8, I am taking advantage of all the great fashion sales and updating the basics in question.

For this closet clean-out, I plan on incorporating new of-the-moment basics to elevate my fall outfits and beyond. Think simple socks to classic leggings (the more fitted, the better), cool outerwear, and more. Below, check out five basics that I'm not reaching for as often and what sale picks from Amazon's October Prime Day I am swapping them out for this season.

Store: No-Show Socks

Swap For: Crew Socks

Having your sock show is the styling preference of choice among the fashion set when wearing everything from sneakers to clogs. I 100% blame it on the resurgence of Princess Diana inspired style.

There is something so chic about long skirts. The maxi style gives me '90s-era vibes that bring Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and other icons to mind.

Regardless of the current leggings trends of the moment, I have been living in fitted leggings for years now during both my on and off-duty moments. The ease they provide in getting dressed is unmatched.

Kitten-heel shoes, especially in black, instantly elevate just about any outfit. Flip-flop, mule, and boot styles reign supreme at the moment, and go with everything from jeans to skirts.

Moto jackets will always be a classic closet staple, but this season, the bomber styles are out to play. I prefer them in black and brown options to wear layered over jeans and dresses.
