The Elevated Basics I'm Recommending to My Friends Who Live in NYC, Chicago, and L.A.
I often play personal shopper for my friends and family (that goes without saying as the fashion editor in my group). I'll frequently receive texts asking for advice on pieces or suggestions on new items to try. On that note, a few people asked for cool basics to consider during their fall wardrobe prep.
I should also mention that my friends and family live all over the place, including in NYC, Chicago, and L.A. So I thought I'd send a group text with 10 elevated basics I love most that would work flawlessly for their on-the-go lives in any city. It's worth noting that the colder-weather picks will be better later on for those chillier L.A. nights.
Keep scrolling to check out the versatile items I sent over (the first 10 in the list below). I also rounded up even more amazing basics that could work as the foundational elements for any fall wardrobe.
This shape is very right now and the cotton material is ideal for transitional weather.
I love everything about these pants—from the silhouette to the color.
Speaking of Alex Mill, part two of the brand's denim campaign just launched with a collection of jeans with a cult following. So good.
This is one of those pieces you just might want to live in.
Adding socks in here. These crew socks are a great basic to wear with loafers, flats, or sneakers.
This cardigan could become a new go-to.
There's something about a simple black long-sleeve shirt that's so chic paired with jeans and a belt.
