Basics are the foundation of any wardrobe, they’re the pieces we wear the most so shouldn’t we love them and be excited to wear them? We believe you shouldn’t settle when it comes to any of the pieces in your wardrobe, especially the ones you wear all the time. A fast-fashion cotton t-shirt may do the job, but you could also go with the softer, sustainably made t-shirt with a reversible neckline. The latter will feel better on, last longer, and provide more styling options.

 

We’re making the case for better basics - the basics you look great and feel great in. The basics that you’re excited to wear and are able to style endless ways. Because with good basics, you will always have endless options.

 

So what makes a better basic? We encourage you to look at the fabric and construction to make sure the piece will last for years and is comfortable. Fit is also incredibly important as well as versatility. When you invest in basics, if it doesn’t fit you perfectly and you can’t see yourself wearing it a lot, it’s not the right one.

We put together a list of high-quality basics that are made to last. These pieces are versatile, stylish, and comfortable and will make you excited to open your closet in the morning.
