I've included some of my favorite brands for basics (SKIMS for their comfort; ARITZIA for the look), while also including other pieces based on customer reviews and reccomendations!!!
Comes in four different colors (including black) with a 4.9 rating from customers!!
Intimissimi | Stretch Cotton Short Sleeve Top $29
If there's one thing we all need, it's a simple white tee! Fortunately, this clean cut white t-shirt by COS was a common recommendation from many customers. Rated by almost 200 people, this top is said to be true to size in length and fit!
COS | Clean Cut Regular T-Shirt $45
Everyone needs a good bodysuit, and I thin SKIMS does the trick. Most bodysuits always give me this awkward gap in the back, but I haven't had that experience with this line .With twelve colors (four of them on sale), you can never run out of options...
SKIMS | Fits Everybody Square Neck Bodysuit $30-$60
Another, SKIMS recommendation, but this time in their long sleeve t-shirts! I have the one in onyx and let me tell you it is one of my favorite tops. Not only is it super flattering on me but it's VERY comfortable!
SKIMS | Fits Everybody long Sleeve T-Shirt
GUIZIO is a very popular brand at the moment, so it's fitting to pull this cotton tank from them!
GUIZIO | Full Length Cotton Tank $38
What's so great about Aritzia's basics is that if you like one style, there are so many more in your favorite colors! There are 23 colors in this top in total!
ARITZIA | Scoopneck Cami Tank $25
UNIQLO is a great cost-effective choice. During my research, I saw their basics mentioned multiple times. A great choice without breaking the bank!
UNIQLO | Crew Neck T-Shirt $9.90
I love SKIMS' “Fits Everybody” collection because it checks off every list for me in a basic! In my experience, they're rarely see-through and they're extremely comfortable, while also providing a little bit of stretch!!
SKIMS | Fits Everybody T-Shirt | $24-$48
I'm always a fan of tank airs pieces!
Studio Tank in Cherry - Tank Air
Victoria's Secret PINK has a few bra top's in three appealing colors– baby pink, cherry red (or burgundy if you will), and black. Perfect colors in time for Valentine's Day as well!!
PINK | Ballet Cotton Bra Top $9.99
A classic long-sleeve cardigan, perfect for a variety of styles. To dress up or to be dressed down? That is the question!
Abercrombie and Fitch | Long-Sleeve Button-Through Top $18.99
Bottoms
These are what I think of as “basics”— but better described as “closet staples”. Similar with the tops above, these selections are a combination of my personal favorite brands/ items, and a mix of customer recommendations!
Everyone needs a pair of that perfect 90s straight jeans! Extremely versatile and great for any occassion, I think this classic denim piece is staple for every style!
FRAME | The Slouchy Straight $160 (used to be $268)!!!
Whether you're working out, lounging, or just simply need a pair of pants to throw on while grocery shopping— leggings will always be a comfort staple! These cost-effective Old Navy leggings only cost $14.99 and is a great addition for a comfort-love...
Old Navy | High-Waisted Jersey Ankle Leggings $14.99
Aritzia's classic pant but instead in linen!
ARITZIA | The Effortless Pant™ Linen $73.99-$148
What can I say? Aritzia always has the best pieces for basics. A black mini skirt isn't going away anytime soon, so why not scoop up this one (even in a different color if you weren't a fan of black)!
ARITZIA | Classic Mini Skirt $98
Of course I had to include a pair of sweats in this selection! For all the days you want to be warm AND comfy, these Lululemon pants can promise you both on that. The fleece fabric is soft to the touch, while also being designed for comfort and casua...
Lululemon | Scuba Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Pant $118
This is one of Aritzia's most popular line of pants— and within good reason. If you're ever in need of a trusty trouser, then you're in luck! Not only does this come in over TWENTY colors (you're never run out of options), but it also comes in four h...
ARITZIA | The Effortless Pant™ $58.99- $148
These Calvin Klein jeans were highly rated on their websites. The 90s straight is a classic, truly! Not only that, but it's on sale for half off!
