Basics are great and all, but if you're an avid lover of trends and love constantly treating yourself to new random purchases, might I introduce you to "trendy" basics instead? Trendy basics are essentially slightly more interesting versions of the timeless wardrobe staples you likely already have sitting in your closet. For example, a silky button-up shirt versus the usual poplin one. Get the picture? 

Ahead, I have listed out 7 of the trendy basics you should not even think about entering 2021 without. If you're anything like me, you're trying to remain hopeful about what next year will bring, so instead of relying on more simplified basics, amping them up a bit doesn't sound half bad.

Why wear a plain long-sleeve top when you can wear one with a spicy neckline? Asymmetrical necklines have been bubbling for a couple of months now and if you ask me, they are the easiest way to jazz up everything from jeans to sweatpants.

Yoga pants, flared leggings—whatever you want to call them—are officially the newest athleisure trend to hit the scene, but fashion girls aren't wearing them for exercise. Instead, they are styling them as they would any other pants. So if you love feeling comfortable and currently hate your jeans, buy yourself a pair ASAP.
