    45 Basics Under $25 For Anyone Who's Super Rough On Their Clothes And Could Use Some Replacements

    The sock body count is getting a bit ridiculous.

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

    1. A bodycon T-shirt dress with a tulip hem that'll work for a ~variety~ of occasions and with most any shoes you have in your closet. Cheers to a not-so-basic basic.

    2. A simple cotton T-shirt here to answer all your "What should I wear..." questions.

    3. A swing T-shirt dress in a ton of colors can make it super easy to wear on the reg.

    4. A wrap-look crop top to stylishly wear with most any bottom in your closet.

    5. Or a tie-front top that'll give ya more of a peek of skin. Even if the forecast calls for rain, the weather will be ~sizzling~ in this.

    6. Classic flip-flops or ones with a T-strap twist to get you from home to pool to wherever you're going this season. Also, they're less than your Starbucks order so you might as well snag some extras, you destructive you.

    7. Stretchy knit jeggings that won't scream "THESE AREN'T REAL PANTS!" like so many other imposters of the past. There's even a pair that looks like regular denim! And there are *back pockets*.

    8. And a pair of super opaque high-waisted leggings that aren't trying to be anything else except your new favorite pair you'll wanna buy in multiples.

    9. A pair of high-waisted denim mom shorts with a super comfy elastic paper-bag waist just begging to be packed on your next vacation. They'll look so cute *and* give ya plenty of room for any snacks you happen upon. (Eating is the best part of vacation, tbh.)

    10. A racerback crop tank for those days you'd like to wear the least amount of clothing on your body while actually wearing clothing.

    11. A seamless sports bra in a moisture-wicking fabric and enough support to last you through some at-home HIIT workouts. Sometimes all the motivation ya' need to get moving is a clean thing to wear!

    12. A racerback tank in a TON of colors so you can keep cool, look cool during warm weather, workouts, being lazy, or for personalization.

    13. A crossbody bag with a boxy lil' design that gives it some major style with minimal effort on your part. Also, it comes in a range of colors so you can match it to your ~mood~.

    14. A breezy midi dress that'll keep you looking carefree, even if you're feeling quite the opposite!

    15. A pack of stretchy undershirts with adjustable straps because these things seem to go missing as often as socks.

    16. A silky slip skirt can up the ante with any of the tops in your closet...or maybe even a top you found on your floor when cleaning?!

    17. A crop halter top that'll pair perfectly with your favorite summer ice-cream treat. (I smell a photo op.)

    18. A sleeveless racerback bodysuit to help you get the coveted tuck for a smooth look with your jeans without having to actually skillfully tuck in your shirt. 

    Promising review: “I’m so obsessed with this bodysuit that I got it in three other colors! You won’t be disappointed!” —Abby 

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors).

    19. And a mockneck bodysuit for those cooler days when you still want the tucked-in look. 

    Promising review: "This is so soft and so comfortable. It’s the first bodysuit I’ve bought and I don’t know why I haven’t purchased these sooner, it’s amazing. I was worried about the snaps being uncomfortable, but you don’t even know they’re there. I also worried for the price if it might be see-through but it’s not at all. I’ll probably be buying this in every color." —MW 

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 31 colors). 

    20. A bodycon midi dress to help you channel your inner-Cher Horowitz. It is a dress. And it's not Calvin Klein. Lay off, dad.

    21. A pair of faux-leather flats for those days when you wanna keep it slip-free and simple with a comfy design and rubber sole.

    22. A pair of cuffed sweatpants you'll more or less live in while indoors (and probably outdoors quite often) thanks to its elastic waist, pockets, and a stretchy material. Plus, there are plenty of colors to give you enough time to wash them on rotation.

    23. A one-shoulder crop top just begging to be photographed on your next daytime weekend adventure.

    Promising review: "Love this!! Just came in the mail today. Wearing it to lunch with a pair of high waisted jeans. Feeling super fresh and the quality pleasantly surprised me." —Jaclynn Clark

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 18 colors). 

    24. An off-the-shoulder waffle knit top that'll give you that effortless, cool look with, truly, very little effort on your part.

    Promising review: "Absolutely love this shirt! It's very trendy, yet affordable — similar to some tops I get from local boutiques. I wore it with distressed jeans out for a casual dinner with friends and received several compliments! I'm not usually a fan of this color but I love it! I will be getting another one in army green soon." —Smalave76

    Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 12 colors).

    Psst: This item is included in Prime Wardrobe, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!

    25. A pair of ankle trousers to keep you looking professional or put-together without feeling all buttoned up.

    26. A stretchy romper bodysuit you can layer underneath short summer dresses for some windproof protection. It'll also look effortlessly fab with sweatshirts and skirts.

    27. A waffle-knit tank with a lil' twist as an extra pizzazz to your lazy-day outfit.

    28. A pair of stretchy bike shorts that'll become part of your WFH, working out, lounging, *and* just-about-anything-else rotation.

    29. A pair of hoop earrings that won't drag down your lobes thanks to their lightweight construction. Plus, IMO throwing on hoops is the easiest way to make any outfit look so much more glam. Even leggings and the same shirt you've been wearing for three days!

    30. Or a five-pack of stainless-steel stud earrings as a finishing touch before you head out the door, even if you're typically allergic to cheap earrings.

    31. A striped long-sleeve shirt can pair perfectly with your signature red lipstick color.

    Reviewers suggest ordering a size up for the perfect fit.

    Promising review: "Very cute and comfortable! I like the ribbed fabric and the shirt is long enough to tuck in, but not long enough to bunch up under the waistline of your bottoms." —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 16 colors).

    32. A soft faux-leather tote that'll be a flexible option when you need to gather your essentials for a quick getaway from your roommates at the coffee shop around the corner they somehow haven't discovered yet.

    33. Slip-on sneakers in a perforated metallic style to make every well-cushioned step look a bit fancier.

    34. An empire-waist dress that'll have you covered if you like just a smidge of structure to your dress. Just a bit!

    35. A bodycon pencil dress will be great for the office...but also can be dressed up in all sorts of ways for special events where you know you'll be posing for a ton of pics.

    36. A pair of canvas sneakers for when you want a fashion sneaker without that dang price. (No judgment!) But also if you decide to, say, wear these bbs to a bachelorette in New Orleans they're cheap enough to toss after. (I've ruined a pair of lovely shoes that way myself.)

    37. A pair of chino shorts in 22 styles that'll surely cover you for the summer. AND the 3.5-inch inseam means you won't have to worry every time you sit.

    shorts in blue and white stripes

    38. A loose-fitting maxi dress to keep it breezy whether there are any actual gusts or not.

    Promising review: "Love this dress. I have a few different colors. They can be worn casually, or dressed up with accessories. The material is soft and silky. Washes nice, I wash mine in the machine on cold and hang to dry, they still look new after several washes. This dress is definitely made for taller women, I'm 5'8" and I tie the front in a knot, the back still slightly touches the ground...but I like it that way." —Michelle Castillo

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 42 styles).

    39. A six-pack of thongs you can have on hand for that dress that you JUST realized is really sorta clingy!

    40. A four-pack of lacy undies that'll look fab with those sweatpants, aka your Saturday-night uniform. (OK this is a basic that doesn't have to feel so basic.)

    41. Strappy sandals in case you, like me, have had the horrific experience of stepping out of a flip-flop on a dirty city street. Or perhaps you just have good taste. Could be both!

    sandals with leather straps

    42. A maxi dress with lil' side slits for some extra motion on your weekend goings about. Yes, this *is* your new weekend uniform.

    43. Some Puma running socks that'll hold up to all kinds of actual running... or slipping and sliding on your hardwood floors while playing with your dog.

    44. A lightweight button-down tank ready to be paired with your white jeans or that wrap skirt you wear every chance you get.

    Promising review: "I love these shirts so much! I have a couple of colors and will buy more! They’re super comfortable, the material is great, and they look good with pretty much any bottoms! You can dress them down or up, and so far, they’ve been fine in both the washer and dryer." —C_Jameson

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in 18 colors and in sizes S–5XL)

    45. A pair of drawstring shorts so you won't have to have any buttons digging into your stomach while you sit and just generally live your dang life.
