Forever Favorites: 5 Under-$50 Staples That Will Never Go "Out"

As fashion editors, we love a good trend every now and then, but nothing beats our love for solid basics. You can always rely on them, they're easy to style, and they're most likely going to stay in style forever. (Even if they don't, we'll still be wearing them!) Since we prioritize basics heavily, it would only make sense that we released our own options in our collection at Target, all at an under-$50 price point of course. Our editors have already tried them out, and it's safe to say they're good.

Below, you'll find five basics we think will always have a place in your wardrobe and shoppable options from our latest drop of Who What Wear x Target. 

1. Elevated Sweaters

While everyone owns stripped-down and simple sweaters, it's the elevated and done-up ones you'll be gravitating toward more. Why? The item does the styling for you. All you need to do is pair it with jeans or tailored trousers, and you're set. Whether it's a fun color or a ruffled sleeve, there are so many fun options. 

2. Sleek Dresses

We're all about statement dresses, but we love our solid-colored, sleek ones just as much. Our version has a knit top and airy bottom, making it perfect for transitioning into the fall.

3. Floral Dresses

Floral dresses may be reimagined every season, but they truly will always be in style. 

4. Sweater-Vests

Sweater-vests started to emerge in the past few years, and we don't think they're going anywhere. They're a layering staple that will always be loved by us, especially when it starts to get chilly.

5. Straight-Leg Trousers

Whether you're for a skinny fit or a wide-leg fit, we can all agree on the happy medium that is straight-leg trousers.
