I Scrolled Through All the Basics at J

(Image credit: Zara)

I’m routinely on the hunt for great basics for myself, my friends, and you, dear readers. Those perfect basics—versatile and modern items—are always appealing because they often become true workhorses in a wardrobe given the plethora of styling opportunities. J.Crew, Banana Republic, and Zara are three retailers that consistently stock top-notch basics.

I spent one afternoon scrolling through the hundreds of items at this trio of retailers to curate an edit of the elevated basics that I think are absolute perfection. You’ll uncover everything from chic shirting (like the striped iteration featured above) to linen shorts and trousers to great tees you’re bound to wear all the time. Keep scrolling for all of that and more.
