A neutral button-down shirt or one with stripes brings an instant polish to a look. Try simply pairing one with relaxed denim and flats.

I couldn't write about basics without mentioning a tried-and-true piece—the white tee. While everyone's version of the "perfect tee" is different, some of the standout styles are fitted and oversize.

6. Cropped Trench Coat
