11 Under-$100 Basics I'm Forcing All My Friends to Buy
Since I work in fashion, it is very common for my friends (and sometimes even strangers on Instagram) to ask me for some sort of sartorial advice. Sometimes, their questions don't warrant an entire story on Who What Wear, but after years of listening to my friend's wardrobe dilemmas, I finally came to the realization that all of their problems revolved around one thing—a lack of good wardrobe basics.
More often than not, when we are shopping in a frenzy, we tend to buy really trendy, eye-catching pieces instead of investing in the basics. I used to do this as well and I found that getting dressed every day was unnecessarily difficult. But after taking the time to purchase the building blocks of a solid wardrobe like sweaters, trousers, and neutral bags, getting dressed suddenly became a breeze. Since most of my friends face this exact issue, whether it be literally not owning any of the basic wardrobe items or hating the ones they do own, this seemed like something all of you could benefit from as well.
Ahead, shop the 11 best basic pieces I think you should be adding to your wardrobe ASAP. And since buying a plain black slip dress might not feel like the most exciting thing in the world, I made sure everything below is under $100. You're welcome.
Crewneck sweaters always look classy, and when you tie one around your neck like a little scarf, you'll always look trendy. Just because boots are a timeless wardrobe staple doesn't mean they can't be exciting. Take note of the subtle upgrades happening in footwear at any given time and choose to add those to your collection versus the same old same old. At first I was going to title this section "versatile" slip dresses, but when I thought more about it, some of my friends don't even own a black one, and in my opinion, that is the smartest place to start.If you feel like you need a bag that goes with everything, then you need to buy one in a color that, well, goes with everything. Consider this your official white T-shirt replacement for 2020. Not saying you can't wear white T-shirts anymore, but in case you wear them a little too much, this classic shirt will be a refreshing swap. It's easy to let yourself be tempted by all the trendy sneaker styles out there, but at the end of the day, when you want to throw something on and call it a day, classic sneakers like Converse and New Balance's will always be the shoes you reach for. People might not see your seamless underwear, but should you ever finally find the perfect thing to wear only to discover you don't have the right undergarments for it, these seamless undies will suddenly become your favorite item in your dresser. Trench coats used to feel drab, but the past year or so has proven they are beyond cool (and practical). Buy one and kiss all your jacket woes goodbye. Trousers have been the pant style fashion girls have been wearing instead of their jeans these days. Don't be intimidated, just buy. If you haven't hopped on the blazer bandwagon yet, I want to be angry with you, but I know they aren't for everyone. The best way I can put it is to consider blazers as the outerwear piece that is eclipsing jean jackets. Style them the same way—casually and with little to no effort. There's nothing worse than a cheap-looking sandal, but that doesn't mean you can't buy sandals that aren't cheap. Make sure your shoe of choice is simple, sleek, and will go with everything.

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...

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...
