Keep scrolling to check out Sagba’s curation of must-try basics, complete with visual and shopping inspiration as well.
1. Straight-Leg Jeans
"A nice pair of jeans to enhance the silhouette is a must. I prefer Levi's jeans. I've had the 501 model in my wardrobe for over 10 years and still wear them."—Sagba
2. Modern Blazer
"Parisians love blazers, and for me, blazers are a must in a wardrobe! I have a whole collection of blazers. These are often men's blazers because I like to wear them oversized. My recent purchase is this one I bought on Vinted. I choose vintage pieces like this Mugler because I can keep in my wardrobe for a long time and continue to wear it even in a few years."
3. Elevated T-Shirt
"In summer and winter, I love to pair my jeans and ankle boots or sandals with another basic: the elevated T-shirt or tank in either gray or white."
4. Next-Level Trench Coat
"During midseason, I add my beige trench coat to this look for a result that looks very effortless like in this photo."
