Stylish People Wear These 6 Elevated Basics, and They're All Available at Shopbop

Basics are the backbone of a solid wardrobe. It's these versatile selects that balance out our everyday looks. Yes, some of the most stylish people out there—our fashion editors included—consider their basics to be their closet staples. The types of basics that fashion people stock in their wardrobes run the gamut. That said, six elevated basics with forward silhouettes are certainly front-runners right now.
Furthermore, Shopbop actually has quite the assortment of styles for each of the categories in question. The top-notch offering is one of the many reasons Shopbop is a must-shop destination for style-setters. Below, you'll find the elevated basics stylish people wear along with different iterations of each that are available at Shopbop right now.
1. Vest
Vests have been a mainstay in the wardrobes of the coolest fashion people for seasons now, and the look isn't going away any time soon. This season, vest silhouettes include everything from tailored styles to halter iterations.
2. Relaxed Denim
Relaxed denim reigns supreme as the go-to cut. Whether it's a straight-leg, barrel-leg, or wide-leg silhouette, these jeans will elevate any wardrobe.
3. Modern Shirting
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.
4. Long Denim Shorts
Long shorts are a staple and will instantly give off that cool vibe.
5. Perfect White Tee
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
Classic trench coats are certainly a must, but cropped trench coats are also having a moment as a key basic for the season.
