I’m routinely on the hunt for those special pieces that could become true staples in my wardrobe. Given my role as a fashion editor, I also spend a hefty chunk of time uncovering said items to recommend in my various stories. And that’s why I’m here today. I found a range of on-trend and affordable wardrobe basics that I think will really pique your interest.
The offering coming your way is quite promising in my eyes because the items are highly versatile in that they could work with a smattering of pieces already in your closet. And given their forward nature, they’ll also bring an of-the-moment feel to any look. What’s included in the mix? Well, there’s everything from a stellar padded-shoulder T-shirt to a legit pair of distressed denim shorts. You’ll find all that and more by scrolling along.
