Tops
I'm not going to lie, uniqlo is the GOAT for basic tops. Layering is the KEY.
I have ordered this in white, black and brown. I have worn them under loose button ups for layering for the last 5-6 years. when one gets too worn out I just re-order – I'M BEING SERIOUS. For the price, its amazing. I don't need to wear a bra with it...
REORIA Butsmooth® Women's Sleeveless Racerback Bodysuit
I have this in blue and black, have had the same ones for over 5 years and they have also been instrumental for so many outfits. layering, simplicity. similar to the amazon body suits I linked. If I can help it, I will never get rid of these
HEATTECH Cashmere Blend T-Shirt | Extra Warm | Turtleneck | UNIQLO US
I'm OBSESSED with this currently, the fabric is sooooo nice & Im a sucker for an oversized paired with a fitted bodysuit. Best believe this has been on my weekly rotation with some khaki pants
Broadcloth Oversized Shirt | Striped | UNIQLO US
This is not the exact shirt, I tried to find as most similar of one that I could to one that I thrifted, I have one in olive green which is kind of a neutral but also a bit of a pop. I love color but I start learning there are certain colors that can...
Zeagoo Women's Flannel Plaid Button-Down Shirt
yes I actually own this and yes I actually wear it too lol I told y'all I love me some color!
KEPUTAY Color Block Plaid Button-Down Shirt
Old Navy is another PHENOMENAL place for basics/essentials. Another thing to note, for comfy fits always look out for “drop shoulder!”
SoComfy Drop-Shoulder Crew-Neck Sweatshirt | Old Navy
a comfy top that does NOT REQUIRE LAYERING
Women's Short-Sleeve Crew Cardigan
Bottoms
these are closet staples that make it easy to build an outfit. I love having colorful and graphic designed pants as well, but remember if the pants or bottoms are the statement, then stick to basic tops and plain shoes.
my absolute favorite relaxed outfit, I always get compliments on it because its white and obviously it has pockets so i can store ANYTHING in it. This is an “any” piece, anywhere, anytime, anything, any place, any event.
Women's White Cargo Pants
an absolute must – I discovered these WAY too late in life, I was probably 28 the first time I wore linen pants and I can honestly say I haven't worn non-comfortable pants since.
Women's Linen Pants
JEANS - a light, medium & dark wash is a MUST! Light wash is the most versatile, for medium wash I would stick with tapered fit and I personally prefer my dark wash more boot cut :) This is a straight leg from abercrombie.
Women's Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean
Quality jeans are worth investing in, these are VERY comfortable and Everlane is a company whose mission is to increase the sustainability of the apparel industry.
The Way-High® Jean
These are my dark wash boot cut jeans! I feel very sexy and nature in these :)
Bootcut Jean For Women
Very versatile for any occasion at all – and extremely comfy!
Shop Women's Dress Pants | UNIQLO US
Jackets
Ive had this since 2018 and it has served me WELL! great for travel because the chest pockets and bottom pockets are really deep they hold everything! Sunglasses, sanitizing wipes, portable battery, wallet, and more!
Light Blue Wash Oversized Classic Denim Jacket
I'll give a couple of options for this but a neutral long cardigan is basically like an oversized hoodie without the hood and its feminine. I promise.
CHARTOU Women Chunky Ribbed Knit Cardigan
option 2 for a comfy long/oversized cardigan
WEST K Women's Karla Long Oversized Waffle Knit Cardigan with Pockets - Xsmall - Camel
Shoes
My favorite part of any outfit =P
Definitely have to break these in but SOOOO badass!!!
Women's Allington Heights 6-Inch Boots - Wheat Nubuck
Docs are ESSENTIAL for former tomboys!!!!! I love these in white or that maroon color. SUCH a statement. this was my first big purchase as an adult with my first big kid job
White Boots
hear me out – this is basically a combat boot but, like, chill.
I have re-bought these 3 times in my life already and will be re-buying again and again when needed.

Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas Unisex High Top Shoe. ...
Either this or Vans, whatever you prefer. These are your everyday basics, they're basic in general tbh but nothing wrong with some staples here and there
Grand Court Shoes
I wear these EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Everyone just assumes these are birks - but actually they don't require being broken in. which is a paaiinnn we dont want for sandals. for boots, yse absolutely, but sandals?? please I just want comfort
CUSHIONAIRE Women's Luna Cork Footbed Sandal
I must look crazy for this but I LOVE a good multi-purpose mesh flat. I love me some waterfalls and hikes so this is the perfect shoe for adventurous occasions such as those, really lightweight and easy to store in any bag or backpack!
ALEADER Women's Casual Water Shoe
Dresses/Jumpsuits
yeah we were like “ew” back in the day to anything pink and frilly or DRESSES but the reality is, this is the ultimate comfort outfit because its literally only one article of clothing, so lets keep it simple.
THIS LINEN IS AMAZING FOR THE PRICE!!! This piece is also perfectly layerable – reminder this is key. I would size up so like if I am typically a Large, I would get XL for comfort fit and layerability.
