While I'm always down for a new trend on the fashion scene, but having too many trendy items can lead to outfit stumps in the morning. If you invest time into curating a solid selection of basics, you'll find it easier to style the "out-there" items you add to your wardrobe. Even though they're called "basics" doesn't mean they have to actually be basic, and & Other Stories proves that with their selection. The brand always releases pieces that meet the lines between trendy and classic and creates staples that still feel special despite the minimal design.
While I'll still be trickling a few fun pieces into the rotation, I could use some basics in the mix to make my outfit planning more seamless. & Other Stories' new arrivals is chockful of everything you could possibly need for this spring season and beyond, so I searched through all the pages of their site for my favorites. The selection below is one you're not going to want to miss out on because some items are already selling fast.
Bye-bye skinny jeans.
The sandals you'll be wearing all season.
Get ready for the beach with this hat.
A pair of ecru pants are essential.
Wear this open over a dress or closed with a relaxed pair of denim.
Ballerina class is trending, and this is the perfect way to incorporate a trend in a long-lasting way.
What a perfect spring coat.
Such pretty colors.
Make your loungewear more chic.
Wear this with a tee and blazer.
I always thought trousers were too office-like for me, but after seeing girls style them with tees and sweatshirts, I'm ready to embrace them.
I'm sold on the front slit.
This top may not look like a basic, but trust me—you can wear it with anything. Jeans? Check. Skirt? Check. Trousers? Check.

I'm imagining this over a silk slip skirt.

This cardigan comes in every color you'd need.
For those "throw on a sweater and jeans" kind of days.
This is what I mean when I say & Other Stories makes special basics. They take a cream sweater, but add a beautiful neckline and puffed sleeve.
Minimal and chic.
What a gorgeous belt.
