I Didn't Think I Needed New Clothes, But Then I Saw These New Basics
After shopping during the holiday season, I wanted to put a pause on buying new clothes for a bit. But after doing market research for a few upcoming stories, there were a few basics I discovered that I thought could be worth considering. The items in question all skew on the affordable side (under $75) and fall in the trend-forward-basics category, so they’re elevated yet still highly versatile.
The specific pieces I’m considering include this H&M coat and these Zara trousers. I also thought you might be interested in some fresh next-level basics, so I pulled together a list of 29 other new basics that might pique your interest.
Keep scrolling to shop the simple pieces in question.
These trousers would definitely be considered a next-level basic in that they're elevated but could be styled with many different pieces.
The perfect white tee if you want a perfectly tucked-in look.
Next, check out more elevated basics worth trying.
