The On-Trend Basics I Always Reach for When I Want My Outfit to Look Luxe
I’ve worked in fashion for over a decade now, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that a great-quality basic will take you far. Not only does it act as a chic backdrop to statement pieces, but when worn alone, a sleek staple can be striking in its simplicity and unquestionably elevate any outfit. But let’s face it: Not all basics are created equal. Everything from the fabric to the cut and detailing can make or break an outfit.
When I want my outfit to look luxe (which is basically all the time), I reach for a timeless piece from our namesake label, Who What Wear Collection. Okay, so I may be biased here, but even if I weren’t WWW's fashion market editor, it would still be one of my go-to places to shop for staples that strike the perfect balance of timeless and trendy thanks to its elevated, unique detailing and of-the-moment silhouettes. Below, I’m sharing some of my favorites that look seriously luxe and, best of all, don’t cost a fortune.
This sweater is so versatile, not to mention insanely soft.
These pants are so comfortable I'm getting them in beige too.
This one-and-done soft yet structured jumpsuit will take you from day to night in style.
Made of buttery vegan leather, this midi looks triple the price.
It's all about loose tailored pants right now. These feel fresh.
Guaranteed you'll be reaching for this utility jacket daily.
Just add sandals and jewelry for one seriously cool and effortless look.
Up next, I shop every day (seriously)—these picks are relevant and timeless.
