I'm Shopbop's Fashion Director—These Are the Basics That Signify a Great Closet

Shopbop's fashion director, Caroline Maguire, is one of the industry insiders we turn to on a regular basis for fresh shopping tips given her sharp eye and unique personal style. While she recently provided insight into the key fall trends to consider, we thought we'd move to the other end of the sartorial spectrum to garner her advice on the specific basics she also thinks are worth it.

Maguire believes that incorporating one or all of these seven elevated basics can help signify a great closet because each is incredibly versatile and can help balance out a wardrobe. Essentially, you could take one of the staples in question and style it in a multitude of ways to create standout looks.

Keep scrolling to check out Maguire's full list. And because Shopbop always stocks an A+ assortment of basics, you'll also find product recommendations throughout. Oh, and the brand recently launched Shopbop Men, so there are a few men's items included if that's of interest.

"Everyone needs a good long-sleeve tee. They're great for layering and are the perfect basic to wear as a transitional piece between seasons."

"Wide-leg denim is a must-have and should be a staple in everyone's closet. I am loving the pleated front on this Citizens of Humanity pair—it's a fun way to spice up any look."

"Everyone needs a chunky cardigan for fall! Comfortable and cozy, it's the perfect piece to add to your closet as it starts to get cooler out."

"A classic for any season. Amo has the best basic white tees."

"I am loving Ugg's Classic Mini Boots. These easy pull-ons are great when you're on the go—they are perfect for when I am picking up and dropping off my kids at school."

"A classic pair of huggie hoops are timeless and always on-trend. I'm never taking these off!"

"Everyone needs a universal tote. They're great for running errands and stashing everything in all at once! I love this versatile quilted Kassl bag. You can wear it as a tote or as a long shoulder bag."

Next, check out more chic basics.

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...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
