7 Trendy Basics to Buy Now and Wear Through Fall

Although they may not be the most fun thing to shop for, basics are truly the cornerstone of your wardrobe. They are the clothes you wear the most, regardless of the season or occasion. When a new season approaches, the first thing I do with my wardrobe is to go through my basics and make a list of what I want to replace and add to my collection. But the reality is that no matter how useful basics are, they are inherently boring no matter how you look at them. So I want to talk about basics. Trendy Foundation.

Trendy basics are pieces that can be worn with many different outfits, can be worn again and again, and still look current and fresh — but not ones that go out of style after one season. They’re made to last.

As the transitional period approaches, I’m starting to stock up on trend staples like lightweight jackets, denim, and dresses that I can wear now through fall. I’ve handpicked seven standout pieces that will serve me well in the coming days – you’ll thank me later.

So scroll on to see the seven trendy basics I’m buying this season (and recommend you do too).

A luxurious denim skirt

Instead of denim mini skirts, I’m looking for elevated styles like dark denim pencil skirts and flared midi skirts.

Burn Jacket

Lightweight jackets always leave me perplexed, but this season the ultimate casual lightweight jacket trend, the burn jacket, is easily on my wishlist.

leopard print shoes

Leopard print is set to be huge this fall, and I’m planning on getting a head start by shopping for some chic leopard-print shoes (that are surprisingly versatile).

Bubble Skirt

The bubble skirt is definitely one of the trendiest items on this list, and I think it’s one that’s going to stay in style for a while.

Boat shoes

In case you didn’t know, Miu Miu boat shoes are selling out everywhere and boat shoes are quickly replacing loafers. Luckily, there are plenty of other brands out there making chic boat shoes.

Burgundy Bag

Not all basics fall into the category of wearables like t-shirts, jeans, jackets, etc. Accessories like handbags can also be classified as basics. Also, the bag trend I’m eyeing for fall is burgundy bags, which I plan to wear instead of black bags.

Polo sweater

Polo necks are set to be seen everywhere this year, and we can expect this style to transition into autumn in the form of sweaters.
