While wardrobe basics might not be the most enchanting items in your closet, nobody can deny their versatility. Think about it: Basic items are pretty important since they're the ones we wear the most and the building blocks of the majority of our outfits. One could argue that basics are the MVPs of our closets.
Even celebrities, who have access to the best brands and have the most talented stylists on speed dial, are in a seriously committed relationship with their basics. They wear glamorous dresses on the red carpet once, but they wear basic items repeatedly in their daily lives. From the classic coat style celebs go to year after year to the third piece they throw on with everything, these are the six basics celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra and Katie Holmes are wildly committed to.
