After you kick off your 4-inch Marc Jacobs boots, and throw your floor-length Missoni trench on the floor, loosen your Gianfranco Ferre jeans and take a load off. It’s the end of the day and it’s time to strip down….to the basics, that is. Sometimes, in your ultra-fashionable, fabulous life, you need to channel your more practical side, and stock up on the essentials. Things like yoga pants, crew tees, tanks, track shorts, and hoodies are like the bread and butter (or is it meat and potatoes?!) of any closet out there. Skip the food metaphor—who eats carbs anyway? You can stock up on the nuts and bolts with the best from Bop Basics. The exclusive line from the Shopbop store makes sure you are still cozy-cute and ultra-feminine in even the simplest of tops. Get ready for the chilly, Autumn evenings early this year, with comfy pieces like The Long Sleeve V Neck Tee and Heather Raglan Long Sleeve. Their Hoodie is almost too good to be true—so luxurious, but everyday wear-ability makes it practical…kinda like they say how wine and chocolate have health benefits? We’ll believe it. Add to your wardrobe with a few pairs of leggings from the same line. The versatile capri-length makes them an all-seasons-staple; wear them with a no-fuss tunic and some flats, and, as it cools off, a chunky, long sweater and killer boots.
No one knows basics like James Perse; he has perhaps single-handedly upped the luxury-factor of the white tee by ten-fold. His White Cross Back Tank and Big Tee Shirt Dress are wardrobe musts for super-sexy year-round casual. Tees and dresses from C&C California bring the laid-back SoCal vibe to your online-shopping fingertips. The Black Jumper is as chic as it is deceptive; perhaps the easiest piece you’ll ever throw on, yet the effortlessness involved is unparalleled. Of course, being comfortable requires basic preparedness on the most fundamental level; feet, buns, and well, bosoms must be at ease in order to look your best.
Freshpair has 3-packs of your fav sock, from ankle No-show to Quarter length, and boyshorts from Cheeky and Abeba gives you plenty of reason to forgo pants altogether (at home, that is). Support yourself with Wacoal’s Sheer Basics Contour Bra, and everything else just falls into place. Lunaire’s Whimsy Barbados Sexy Basic Bra has the same effect, only black mesh makes you feel like a lingerie model. With basics like these, it’s easy to stock up and still feel like you’re indulging in something special for yourself. It’s kinda like tricking you into eating your vegetables.
