You want at least six basics. One black and one white of t-shirt, tank top, and long sleeve. If you're like me you will also want something with a stripe. Some of my fav brands for basics include Uniqlo, Calvin Klein, GAP, and Zara.
Since we can't get Uniqlo in NZ my next recommendation for your basic tees would have to be AS Colour! I've always got these in my wardrobe.
