10 Functional Basics That Are Guaranteed to Make Any Outfit Look Expensive
As the new year has begun, I'm sure many of us have already taken deep dives into our closet to see what's missing or what needs to go. For me, I've realized that while I own a good amount of average basics like solid t-shirts and jeans, I'm missing out on more stylish yet functional items that can take an outfit to the next level, all while acting as a minimal piece that can be worn in a variety of ways. It's important not to only own minimal items to act as outfit bases, but also pieces that meet the lines of style and function right at the middle.
Luckily for me, (and you too), our namesake line's latest drop does exactly that. From faux leather pants to cloud-like cardigans, you'll keep the items below on rotation not only this season but beyond. And if the under $100 prices don't convince you to add-to-cart immediately, we've also included outfit inspiration that will pretty much seal the deal on these looks.
I'm convinced these pants can go with almost anything.
All you need is a sleek pair of boots and you're good to go.
The ruffle sleeve detailing adds the perfect amount of flair to this sweater.
I can't get over how expensive this jacket looks, and it's still under $100.
If you think this cardigan looks cozy, imagine how it must feel.
The neutral pant I didn't think I needed.
Who said loungewear can't look expensive?
