I Shop for Basics Regularly—Here's Everything I'm Buying Now

As I’ve highlighted before, my daily uniform is primarily made up of basics. If I’m not in joggers and a sweatshirt (I work from home a lot), I tend to wear jeans, a black sweater, a moto jacket, and boots. So when I’m shopping on the regular, I tend to primarily search for simple, not-so-flashy quality items that can work within my elevated yet pared-down wardrobe. (That said, when I do venture outside the basics zone a bit, it’s usually for those statement-making bags and shoes that have a good cost per wear.)

Anyway, while I think I have a pretty solid foundation of my go-to basics (those stated above), I’m currently scoping the market for fresh staples that are a bit different for me in order to breathe new life into my wardrobe. To give you a glimpse into what I mean, I’m showcasing the five updated basic trends I’m interested in trying right now. I also shopped out inspired silhouettes for each in case you too want to add these must-have basics into your arsenal.

I basically live in black outerwear, but I want to add a simple yet luxurious-feeling camel coat into my wardrobe. I think that the ideal silhouette will pop flawlessly against my dark-jeans–and-sweater uniform.

I haven’t really ventured outside of the skinny-jean world in years, but I would like to at least test out one of the slim-straight denim cuts the fashion crowd continues to stand behind. While I personally want to go for a style in a black wash (I love the all-black look), there are so many solid blue jeans out there too worth noting.

You clearly can’t go wrong with a basic crew-neck or turtleneck sweater (I have an entire closet full), but it’s those same styles with just a little something extra (like wider sleeves or an asymmetrical cut) that continue to pique my interest.

I consistently rely on my basic black ankle boots, but I’m actually shopping for a non-black pair right now to try something different. I specifically want to find a style that has a classic shape but in a luscious tan or in faux-snakeskin.

You can never have too many tees, right? I basically wear a black T-shirt from Amazon on the regular, but I want to update my drawer with white and striped tees as well to build my layered winter looks.

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...
