33 Trendy Basics to Buy From J.Crew, Zara, and Mango This Season
Ever since the days of grade-school "back-to-school" shopping, I've looked forward to this time of year more than any other. Once summer starts winding down, all I want in life is to wear jeans and a sweater without breaking a sweat. Those crisp fall days are delightfully near, and just as it did when I was 9, my closet is in need of a bit of a fall refresh—starting with basics.
If you want to fill your closet with basics that don't cost a lot of money but will earn you a lot of fall trend points, a few great retailers to turn to are J.Crew, Zara, and Mango. And I just scoured the current stock in search of the best items that fall under the covetable "trendy basics" category. These 33 items won't look dated in a year's time, but they will look incredibly fresh right now.
So without further ado, keep scrolling to shop the very best trendy fall basics from J.Crew, Zara, and Mango.
J.Crew
Everything about these is supreme—including that they have pockets.
It's going to be a leopard-print fall.
Some would call this the "demure" way to do the sheer skirt trend.
Zara
Mango
This elevated faux-leather jacket is an excellent use of $100.
This feels fresher than your typical double-breasted trench.
