      I view basics as the foundation of my wardrobe. These adaptable pieces serve as the essential core of my everyday outfits, balancing out more fashionable items to form well-coordinated looks. Items like white t-shirts and straight-leg jeans will always be my go-to favorites (and I’m sure they are for many!), but there are also other sophisticated fall basics that deserve attention. These items are contemporary and versatile, thanks to innovative design features. Essentially, incorporating any of these basics into your ensemble will make your look feel relevant and stylish. Below is a list of 20 refined fall basics that I believe fashionable individuals will utilize to create exceptional outfits. This list includes everything from the trendiest outerwear shapes suitable for daily wear to the most elegant sweaters that will become staples in your closet.
