Life Hasn't Been the Same Since I Added These 11 Special Basics to My Wardrobe

If someone were to ask me what my wardrobe primarily consists of, I'd say basics, without hesitation (and trendy accessories, but that's a topic for another story). I live in the South and work from home full time, so I just don't require a very fancy wardrobe on a day-to-day basis. A typical outfit for me consists of a handful of basics that I've worn multiple times in multiple combinations. Although I'm certainly guilty of it, one of my pet peeves is when I buy something and only wear it once or twice, so I really focus the bulk of my shopping budget on special basics that won't just waste away in my closet.

Having an easy time picking out outfits, in turn, makes life easier, and the only way I've found to achieve that is by stocking up on basics. The 11 I list below have really helped me avoid many of those dreaded "I have nothing to wear" days, and I presume they may help you too. Scroll on to shop the TK special basics I refer to as life-changing.

I love repurposing shirts as jackets, as you can see. This one is my latest obsession.
These shorts are the perfect length, they're comfortable, and they're not denim. (I own an embarrassing amount of denim shorts.)
These "heels" are such a great height, and they go with absolutely everything. I think I've actually walked for miles in them.
Speaking of denim shorts, this classic pair really stands out from the pack. Highly recommend.
I'm a sucker for non-basic white shirts. This one looks so cool on and goes with so many things.
Sneakers and loafers just hit different when paired with these logo socks.
This is my go-to spring and summer jacket. (I love wearing blazers as jackets when it's mild—they're the perfect weight.)
Tortoise sunglasses that are kind of classic but also kind of trendy are my favorite. These rake in all the compliments, and they're affordable.
Wolford makes the best bodysuits, hands down. I like that this one isn't a turtleneck—it's more versatile.
Every editor is obsessed with these comfortable sandals. They legitimately look like they're leather.
I adore a good oversized tee and have been wearing this one on repeat. (Size up for a slouchy fit.)
The perfect amount of distressing.
I reach for these easy shorts on a weekly basis.
The lack of logo here is cool and subtle.
I don't actually own this yet but I sure would like to.

Next up, all the pieces your 2021 travel wardrobe should contain.

This qualifies as a basic, right?
This feels buttery soft and it offers SPF 50 sun protection.

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...
