I am a Senior Shopping Editor—5 Essentials I No Longer Wear and 5 That I Adore That Are Included in…
Recently, I've been assessing my closet, particularly my collection of essentials, to determine what needs refreshing. Basics serve as the foundation of my outfit lineup, so they're always on my radar. At the start of a new season, I decide what to put away (or even sell and donate), and then I create space for new items, focusing on current trends. With the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days happening until tomorrow, October 8, I'm taking advantage of fantastic fashion deals to refresh my basics. For this closet clean-out, I intend to introduce trendy staples to enhance my fall outfits and beyond. Think simple socks, classic leggings (the more fitted, the better), stylish outerwear, and more. Below, I've listed five basics that I'm not wearing as frequently and the Amazon sale items I'm replacing them with this season.
Store: No-Show Socks
Swap For: Crew Socks

Hanes
Cool Comfort Crew Socks
BomKinta
Cotton Crew Socks
Store: Midi Skirts
Swap For: Maxi Skirts

Store: Flared Leggings
Swap For: Fitted Leggings
