Basics are the backbone of a solid wardrobe. I couldn't imagine my closet without these versatile staples, which are the foundational elements to my everyday outfits. With spring around the corner, I'm searching for fresh spring basics. You too? Great. I'm here to provide a list of great basics I found at some of my go-to spots—Zara, Vince, J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Revolve.
Below, you'll uncover a range of elevated basics. On the denim front, there's everything from an of-the-moment bootcut style to a baggy silhouette. Need new tops? You'll find button-down shirts, lightweight knits, and quality tees. Keep scrolling for all of that and much more.
