My basic tops, versatile for at work, at home or a casual day out
These are the best basic camis in my opinion, they are durable and fit super well. I love these in the summer or under open button downs. These are so comfortable and cute I wear these out and about but also at home relaxing and they are extremely af...
Ribbed Cami Top
Your basic tee, they have these in a bunch of colors and stripes. So comfortable and loose fitting without looking slumpy. Very comfortable and affordable, only 9.99. I’ve had it about a year and it’s held up super well
Cotton T-shirt
I LOVE this tube top, and it is beyond rare for me to endorse a strapless top as someone with a bigger chest. This tube top has a built in bra that is actually big enough to fit everything in their comfortably without compressing, the top stays up on...
OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me XTRA Tube Top
The softest t shirt I’ve ever put on. This is a fitted tee but is still so comfy. As someone who loves this look but usually doesn’t love the feel of a women’s cut tee this is totally the way to go, so comfortable and adjusts to your form. It comes i...

More of a casual, baggier fit but one of the most comfortable shirts, perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Very soft and fits loose enough to be comfy but not so big you feel like you’re wearing a dress
Aerie Distressed Basic Boyfriend T-Shirt
Perfect basic for daily life, I wear this to work all the time with slacks to dress it up or jeans and sneakers to dress it down. A chic basic that is so comfortable that I could live in all day. Not super expensive for a good quality
Modern Ribbed Mockneck T-Shirt | Gap Factory
My basic cropped tee. I will say this is definitely cropped, a non-work basic but so so cute and versatile. You can wear with jeans, at home with sweats, or over a sports bra and leggings to work out. I love a multifaceted basic and this is definitel...
OFFLINE By Aerie Let's Stretch T-Shirt
This shirt is great on its own with slacks, pants or a skirt and brings a chic vibe to any outfit. It’s great also under sweater vests or jackets as a layering piece, this is my main use for it. It’s a little pricey for a basic but it holds up very w...
Ribbed Mock Neck Top
This is such a great piece, it can be worn individually in the fall and spring or can be layered over long sleeves, shorts sleeves, dresses, skirts. Really the world is your oyster and I think they look cute with just about everything. One of those p...
Wool-Blend Cable-Knit Vest | Old Navy
Bottoms
I feel like pants set the vibe for an outfit, here are some classics
These are my holy grail leggings hands down. I wear these for working out, running errands or just lounging at home, they are comfortable, sturdy and they don’t slip down or get baggy. And the material is nice and buttery soft. These go on sale all t...
OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me
Essentially just the shorts version of the real me leggings but with pockets on the sides, these are my go to for lounging, working out or running errands in the warmer weather months. They are super sweat wicking which I love
OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me 5" Pocket Bike Short
A couple disclaimers, I am a wide leg jean girl and I am tall. If you fall into both those categories you know how difficult it is to shop for jeans. These have become a staple for me for the length alone, they are super flattering on too
Wide-cut Jeans
More of an investment than my other recommendations at 120 dollars but these are worth it, I’ve had these for 3 years and I’ve barely had a thread pull on them. Perfect pants for work if you work in a corporate setting. I wear these to my corporate e...
The Everyday Wide-Leg Pant | Banana Republic
More budget friendly pants, fit for the office or corporate event. I wear these on event days all the time. I like these because the fit well and they don’t wrinkle easily, I’ve had these same pair for a year and they haven’t faded or stretched out. ...
High-waist Dress Pants
Socks and Tights
I know this seems like a weird section but anyone who lives in a cold city will understand the importance of this
These are great for fall and winter, they keep your feet warm but are still thin so you don’t feel super bulky, can be worn with any shoe without misshaping them like super thick winter socks can do, I love these they’ve been a staple for me for 8 ye...
Women's Timberland® Boot Crew Sock
These are a thicker winter sock, will keep your toes toasty, my feet have never been cold in these . They are also the softest socks in the world and don’t get super worn fast. Turn any shoe into a bear paw or an Ugg.
Bearpaw Women's Boot Anklet Cable Socks 2pk - Egret
My everyday socks, I own a billion of these. Super inexpensive and hold up well to the daily wear and tear. These have built in arch support and cushioning to support your feet, great for people who walk a ton on a daily basis like me or are just gen...
Women's Cushioned 4pk No Show Socks
My go to athletic socks for long walks or runs. These are low cut enough so that I don’t feel like I’m being weighed down (which I do with long socks while working out) but high enough that it covers the backs of your ankles while out and about for t...
PUMA Women's Half-Terry Low Socks
My go to sheet black tights. These are as simple as it gets when it comes to tights but that’s all you really need. I love the transparency on these and they last me decently, adds another layer of warmth. Aren’t crazy warm but I do feel a difference...
