Better Basics

Hi y’all! Today I’m sharing some staples that you’re bound to love forever.

“Better basics” refers to essential items of clothing or products that are high-quality, versatile, and designed to last. These wardrobe staples serve as the foundation for a well-rounded and functional wardrobe. Today, I’m going to focus on all things tops and tees.

Tees are foundational pieces because they are easy to style, seasonless, available in various styles and colors, affordable, and perfect for layering. Some classics are henley tops, scoop-necks, v-necks, mock-necks, asymmetrical tops, and baby tees. Whether building a capsule wardrobe or simply looking for versatile pieces in your closet, t-shirts are a must-have staple.

Tanks are staples in any wardrobe because they can effortlessly elevate any outfit. They are typically made from soft and breathable fabrics, making them comfortable to wear all day. Whether you are dressing for work, leisure, or working out, a well-curated collection of tanks can serve as the foundation for countless looks. I love shopping for tanks at Aerie because they come in various styles, including cropped, halter, racerback, and so much more. Tanks are often affordable, and the ones at Aerie are usually on sale.

Bodysuits can be styled in numerous ways, making them perfect for various occasions and outfits. They are typically made from soft and stretchy fabrics, offering comfort and making it easy to move throughout the day. The snug fit of a bodysuit ensures that it stays in place and doesn’t ride up. This one from Express is said to be very flattering and high quality.

Sweatshirts and pullovers are classic, warm, and comfortable. They come in a variety of styles, my favorite being oversized. I have curated a collection of different lengths, fits, and colors, allowing me endless, comfy outfits.
