Stylist-Approved Brands for Quality Basics
I wore my go-to jeans and white tee two different times last week. Changed the shoes, the jewelry, and the outer layer, and it felt like a brand new outfit each time. That's the power of good basics.
Basics are doing the most work in your wardrobe. You’re wearing them 3, 4, sometimes 5 times a week. They’re the foundation, which means they have to hold up, layer well, and not betray you in natural light.
After years of styling closets (and plenty of my own trial-and-error), there are three brands I consistently come back to when clients ask for good basics: SPANX, Kettlewell, and Gap.
I’ve linked my tried-and-true basics from each brand below to get you started.
