Add to Cart: 17 Simple Basics With a Fashion-Girl Twist

The word "basic" conjures up mixed emotions for different people. For some, the term is interchangeable with words like "essential" and "versatile." To others, it stirs up negative feelings, and instead, they interpret the descriptor as "boring," "drab," or just plain "blah."

I'm a champion of the former. I love a good basic, whether it's a t-shirt, striped tee, button-down shirt, denim jacket, or simple pair of jeans. These pieces can do just about anything you need them to - the genius lies in the styling. Need to dress up a t-shirt? Throw a blazer over it with heels. Want to tone down a tailored top? Style it with shorts and sandals. Toying with the idea of jeans at the office? So easy! Reach for a smart top or blazer, sleek jewelry, and mules (or pumps, loafers, flats . . . whatever you're comfortable in).

Basically, basics are heroic, but if you want to step it up a notch from supersimple styles, look to the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's, where you'll discover a range of affordable closet staples with a modern twist. Think a white button-down with puffy sleeves, a classic linen blazer in a punchy coral hue, a tie-waist pair of chambray pants as an alternative to jeans, or, speaking of jeans, a colored kick-flare pair in place of standard blue. The list goes on! The key takeaway here is that simple clothes can make a lot of impact and cost less than $65 per piece. That's a win.

Ahead, shop the edit of 17 simple, as I happily call them, basics from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's. Each one will freshen up your wardrobe for any occasion from work to weekend.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
