9 Basics Already in Your Closet—and All the Cool Ways to Wear Them This Fall

Where would we be without our trusty basics? They’re the backbone of our wardrobes and will always solve every fashion dilemma. Our staples look chic when worn together and are ideal for layering with other statement pieces. From basic tees to tank tops and leggings to cardigans, you probably already have a decent collection of basics in your closet that you wear on daily rotation. With fall just around the corner, today we want to share some super-cool autumn outfit ideas that you can easily assemble with the basics you already own. Scroll below for plenty of sartorial inspiration along with some excellent shopping picks should you need to update your current staples.

Take your basic white tee into the fall season by pairing it with similar neutral hues to add instant polish to the staple. White and ivory work surprisingly well together so try styling your tee with off-white wide-leg pants or jeans and finish the look with a tan trench, beige boots, and gold jewelry.`
A white button-down is a year-round staple which we've been styling with everything from shorts to sweats and over our bikinis throughout summer. For fall, try layering the staple over a black turtleneck and under an oversize wool blazer. Keep the look chic by tucking it into slim black jeans. 
Elevate your leggings game this fall and style the staple with trend-forward pieces such as a leather blazer and equestrian-style knee-high boots.
A basic sweater can be taken to new sartorial heights when layered over a trending Victorian-inspired blouse and a flowy miniskirt or dress—ideal for when it's not too cold out yet.
No matter what color blazer you own, you can guarantee it will look chic when paired with a midi skirt and boots. Add a cozy texture to the look with a knit top underneath.
Our basic cardigans are handy year-round as a light layer of warmth. For fall, style it under a plaid coat for a sumptuous autumnal look.
There's that perfect time in fall when you can wear summer sandals and a warm coat at the same time in perfect harmony (and it looks seriously chic!). Pair the combo with your staple straight-leg jeans and finish with a silky neck scarf for an Insta-worthy outfit.
I'll hazard a guess you've been wearing your tank top on heavy rotation throughout the summer. To transition the basic easily into fall simply swap out your shorts for cool high-waisted pants cinched at the waist with a belt. Finish the look with a lightweight raincoat—perfect for those days when it's not too hot and not too cold.
You can throw a classic trench coat over anything and it will look ten times chicer in our book. Try it with your basic sweatpants, and then finish your look with retro sneakers and tube socks.

Up next, six fall basics I'm buying regardless of this year's trends.

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...
