It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of a new trend. When you scroll through your Instagram feed or walk to work and see every other 20-something wearing a similar version of a new craze, it can make you get tunnel vision for only spending your coin on the newest and hottest things.
But at the end of the day, you still need a wardrobe full of things that you can actually pair with trendier items — basics that never fail you and that you turn to time and time again. When you find that T-shirt that fits just right or the jeans that hug you in all the right places, they can make you feel like a million bucks, no matter what you pair them with.
These are the basics that are worth investing in; the ones that you’ll wear time and time again, even as seasons and trends come and go. With these, you’ll never feel like you have nothing to wear again.
Is there any wardrobe item that can immediately turn your attitude around as quickly as a leather jacket can? They can take a T-shirt and jeans from “I just rolled out of bed” to a full-blown look in half a second.
It’s 2020, and you don’t need to wear real leather for your leather jacket to look expensive. This is the faux option our editors swear by, and that we turn to over and over again
(yes, we have all showed up to work wearing it on the same day, and no, none of us took it off):
