Basics That Wont Break The Bank
According to the oxford dictionary, basic is defined as forming an essential foundation or starting point. Basics, a term used in the fashion industry to generalize common pieces in everyone's closet, such as t-shirts, jeans, and transitional items, have gone from an unspoken category to a minimalist trend making up an entire outfit. I love basics because they are comfy and can go from day to night. I believe it is important for everyone to have a good mix of basics in their closet, but that doesn’t always mean you have to spend a fortune buying them. In this post, I will further elaborate on the key basics each person should have in their closet, where to buy them, and how to find the perfect fit.
Key Basics
The key to basics is making sure each piece can transition within any outfit. By doing this, you are extending the longevity of the item and its wear. It is best to stick to neutral colors such as black, white, grey, and tan. as these typically don’t clash when mixed with other colors.
Types of Basics: t-shirt, long sleeve, bodysuit, button down, jeans, slacks, LBD, sneakers, Heel
How to find the perfect fit
Figuring out your body shape is hard, and it takes time. When picking a basic, you want them to be flattering. Not too tight and not oversized. This way, you can layer additional pieces that speak to your personality. For example, you could pair your favorite sweater filled with loud sayings or patterns over a simple t-shirt and a simple pair of jeans. Or you can pair a little black dress with your funkiest shoes and jewelry. Either way, the guide below is designed to help you navigate how to style your body shape. Note: this guide is here to assist but not direct. Finding one’s personal style is unique to each individual and can essentially throw these “rules” out the window in some cases. You should always wear whatever makes you feel good!
