25 Elegant Wardrobe Basics That Are a Step Above the Rest

Wait, wardrobe basics that are actually elegant? I know it sounds like an oxymoron but as the headline suggests, I'm about to highlight 25 such finds that qualify as practical basics but are ultimately so chic they're an item you won't just feel you should buy, but an exciting new purchase you'll want to. And what could be any better than that?

I know you come to Who What Wear for your fill of shopping ideas and the following "elegant basics" are some of the most exciting finds this fashion editor has seen recently. From a reworked white T-shirt that will make any outfit cooler to a pair of sleek ankle boots you can wear on the daily and plenty of beautiful knits, just keep scrolling to see all the wardrobe basics that I think are in a league of their own.

A polished blazer like this is just the key piece my fall wardrobe needs.
It doesn't get any chicer than this neckline, IMO.
I didn't think anyone could reinvent a basic white T-shirt, but sure enough, The Line By K has done the impossible.
The polo neck adds a trendy element to this staple knit dress.
Column skirts are one of those pieces that always looks so chic no matter what you wear it with.
I've had my eye on this aptly named elegant bag for several years now and I plan to make it mine soon.
Now this is an oxford shirt.
Be honest—you knew this one was coming.
As comfortable as they are chic.
They had me at sculptural.
In this season's chocolate brown color, a basic turtleneck is made all the chicer.
I know this might look like another basic Chelsea boot to some, but the tall shaft and minimalistic design really set this boot apart.
The back of this layerable bodysuit will blow you away.
It's the elongated square toe for me.
Vince's slip dresses deserve to be in a category all their own.
This of-the-moment mushroom hue lends some polish to a cozy sweatsuit. Shop the matching Mia Joggers ($168)
There are hundreds of racer tanks out there, but none of them are this good.
Maybe it's just me, but I always find something especially elegant about tops that showcase your collarbones.
Because basic doesn't have to mean boring.
You'll have a cashmere sweater like this in your closet for years.
These strong shoulders are a total vibe. 
For the next time you want to reach for an easy top to wear with jeans.
Worthy of a date night (even if it's just a night in).
Padded mules > regular mules. I don't make the rules.
Because you can always use more barely-there bodysuits.

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...
