Pictured: Vince coat and sweater
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
A huge section of my closet is dedicated to basics. These versatile pieces make up my day-to-day looks because they're simple and easy to style, but no, simple doesn't equate to boring. Some of my favorite forward outfits are comprised of simple and no-fuss pieces. I'm referring to looks like an ensemble with a modern jacket, a no-fail gray sweater, a white tee, and trousers. It is to be noted that if I do reach for statement-making pieces, it's typically a bag or another accessory.
If you, too, gravitate toward simple yet stylish items (ahem, those elevated basics), I thought I'd curate an edit of 30 standout new pieces I spotted across some of my favorite brands and retailers. Keep scrolling to shop chic knits that could be worn with everything from jeans to skirts, coats to toss over any look, and so much more.
