    If You Don't Have These 39 Fashion Basics In Your Closet, You're Missing Out

    When you find something that's versatile, effortless, and easily repeatable — you know you've got a closet essential on your hands.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A versatile oversized sweater vest you can wear many ways year-round. (Hello layers!) And when there's a fashion item that makes leaps between seasons, that means you'll need it in every color.

    Amazon

    Promising reviews: "This was totally oversized! It looks so cute on! The quality feels nice and washed nice too! Will buy again!" —Ashley Joseph

    "This sweater is beautiful and classy. I wore this for a virtual interview and it was warm and cute with a bright white button down blouse underneath. This sweater is so chic, you can wear it so many ways. I love it!" —Tania

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 41 colors/patterns).

    And here's a similar plus size version (XXL–4X) for $14.49+.

    2. A quilted versatile crossbody bag that can be worn two ways thanks to the canvas and chain straps attached. When you're out and about: crossbody, when you've got a hot date: shoulder bag.  

    This bag has four components you can mix and match: the bag itself, a smaller quilted pouch, a fabric strap, and a chain strap. 

    Promising review: "The bag came just as pictured! It also comes with a dust bag (huge plus for storing). I love that the chain, coin bag, and shoulder strap are all removable. This bag is really chic and classy for on-the-go errands while looking effortlessly fashionable. It’s nice that there are no logos on it too, so that it has a clean look overall. I love this bag so much, definitely worth purchasing!" —Samantha Vo

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in four colors).

    3. Overalls to take a casual T-shirt to the next level. It's got extra deep pockets, has a comfy oversized fit, and even comes in tons of cute prints!

    4. A pretty puff-sleeve mini dress with drool-worthy details like the square neck and adjustable sleeves you can wear on or off-the-shoulder.

    Get it from Urban Outfitters for $79 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in four colors).

    Promising review: "I have trouble with rain boots because I have wide feet and they usually crowd my toes but these are perfect! Super comfortable and didn’t need to break them in whatsoever. Sprayed the hose on them to make sure they’re waterproof and they are! But some water will come in on the sides where there is fabric but that’s pretty standard with any boot like this. Just amazed at the quality and comfort for the price." —J. Enyeart

    Get them from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 4–13 and 15 colors).

    Promising review: "This is probably the fourth piece of Pavoi jewelry I’ve purchased now, and it will definitely not be the last. I continue to be extremely happy with their products. These are such a great size, the width of the hoop is really nice and substantial. Overall the quality is great, they honestly look like they are gold rather than gold-plated, and have a nice weight to them (they don’t feel flimsy). They also are very elegant looking, and can definitely be worn for more dressy occasions as well as casually. It’s so pleasantly surprising each time to see the quality is so great given the price point is so affordable. These are fun, and a perfect addition to my jewelry collection just in time for summer!"  —Leslie R.

    Get them from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and in six metal types).

    10. A polka-dotted maxi dress because it's delightfully flowy and amazingly comfortable (just ask the 2,000+ people who gave it positive reviews!)

    FYI, this is included in Prime Wardrobe so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!

    Promising review: "[This dress] is BEAUTIFUL! The material is extremely comfortable and not see-through at all, so you won’t need a cami or anything underneath. The length hit on me as if it was tailored to my height, which is a difficult find for me. The belt gives it a perfect tie to be a bit more elegant. I received SO many compliments when I wore this, and I can’t wait to wear it again! Oh & the bust was already seamed together, I didn’t need a pin or clip or anything...100/10 would recommend this dress and I can’t wait to order the other colors!" —Eman Elshalakany

    Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 19 colors).

    11. A sophisticated tweed blazer truly worth the investment because it can make any (*literally* any) outfit a head-turner. I mean, have you ever seen a plain white tee and blue jeans look so chic? This needs to be a closet staple!

    Get it from Mango for $139.99 (available in sizes XXS–4X and in three colors).

    12. Ah, Dr. Martens combat boots — probably one of the first things that come to mind when you think "fall boots." And for good reason. You've got 100% long-lasting leather, comfortable "Air-Cushioned" soles, and an iconic style that never goes out of fashion.

    Dr. Martens

    FYI, Dr. Martens generally run a little large, so I recommend going half a size down if you're looking for a perfect fit or getting your own size if you don't mind a little extra room!

    Get them from Dr. Martens for $170 (available in sizes 5–12 and in nine colors) or from Amazon for $159.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in six colors).

    13. A totally cozy turtleneck dress for when it's cold out but you still want to show a little leg. It's the perfect dress for date night, brunch, or dinner with the fam.

It is very form-fitting and will hug every beautiful curve! ...It is breathtaking, prepare to stop traffic in this hot little number! Don't say I didn't warn you!" —addey nyc

    Get it from Eloquii for $49 (originally $109.95; available in sizes 14–32 and in three colors).

    14. A matching set with details that'll make you swoon. The joggers have pockets (!!), a drawstring waist, and a super cute line detail going down the leg, while the top's cropped cut make it an easy mix n' match option.

    Promising review: "Got this set to sleep in for the winter. The material is very comfortable and soft on the skin and not irritating at all.

    Get it from Amazon for $46.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 11 colors).

    Promising reviews: "These pants are so worth every penny. I’ve never gotten so many compliments or had complete strangers ask where my pants were from but every one wanted to know where these were from!!! You will not be disappointed!!" —Mamabear & Babycakes

    "You guys... these are seriously the most amazing leggings ever. They looked so small coming out of the package, but the stretch is [awesome]. They fit like a glove! I know people say that, but I mean seriously, like a glove. No wrinkling around the knees, no camel toe, and they stay up around the waist when moving around and bending (Which is my biggest issue with other leather-look leggings). They look so smooth and shiny on. And they’re SO SOFT. They feel like when you put soft pajama pants on right after shaving and exfoliating. They’re like butter. My mind honestly is having trouble processing how amazing and structured they look with how amazing they feel...The minute I put them on I ordered a second pair."  —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4X and in four colors).

    16. A one-shoulder crop top with a unique tie detail at the bottom, and according to reviewers, is made of comfy no-need-to-wear-a-bra kind of material. SCORE!

It is sooooo cute and I got it in black and white and can't wait to get it in more colors. Plus all of this for a great price. I love love love it." —Lane

    Get it from Amazon for $18.98 (available in sizes S–XL and in 17 colors).

    Promising review: "I was nervous to wear these at first because I usually only wear skinny jeans and don't branch out much with fashion trends. I like to stick to 'safe/boring' styles. But after trying them on and testing them out, I discovered they are LITERALLY my favorite pants. I can literally wear them ALL different ways. Strappy heals, flats, loafers, vans, booties, you name it. I am SO pleased and I feel so confident wearing them. They fit my waist like they were tailored just for me. I have an hourglass figure and I LOVE how high and fitted the waist is. I ordered my usual size in Levi's and they fit great. A nice hug, but nothing uncomfortable. These pants are SO on trend right now. I encourage anyone to give them a try...you'll be pleasantly surprised!!" —Spades

    Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" —Jenna

    38. A racer back Bramisuit, aka comfortable bodysuit with a built-in bra! It's cute as heck and anything that eliminates the need to wear a bra deserves a gold metal IMO.

    The Klassy Network

    The Klassy Network is a woman-owned small business that has taken the fashion industry by storm after creating STYLISH tops and bodysuits with built-in padding. Each item has a different level of support (band-less, compressive band, or shelf bra) and all are double-lined for function and comfort. 

    Promising review: "Away with standard tank tops! In with bramisuits every day!! It's so much easier getting an outfit together when the bra isn't a factor. This bramisuit is very soft, very comfy, and a beautiful bright color! It washes well in cold water and line-dried. Don't wash with the pads in! All the Klassy clothes have been very durable and no wear/tear signs showing, and I wear them often!" —Shenandoah M.

    Get it from Klassy Network for $45 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in six colors).

    39. A pair of Sam Edelman ankle boots because they are the definition of a chunky shoe. The classic color options means they go with everything, which is exactly what you want when investing in a good boot. The padded insole and 2.25-inch platform heel will give you the height without the pain, and I can't say no to that!

    Hint hint:  Reviewers pointed out that these boots are awesome alternatives to Prada's Monolith Chelsea boots, which are priced at $1,290! You're saving over a thousand bucks here. That's gotta feel great, right?

    Promising review: "I bought these shoes in black and the snake print...Not only are these boots incredibly comfortable they are versatile. They look great with skirts, leggings, and dresses. 10/10 as they have the perfect look and are comfy." —Kat
