I think that it is safe to say that my wardrobe is primarily made up of elevated basics. It’s no surprise seeing how these simple yet chic pieces can easily be mixed and matched and can make any look feel more put together. With fall and winter 2025 in mind, there’s no better time to do a closet refresh in the basics department and I’m turning to Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy to start.
