It’s Official—Fashion People Are Obsessed With These 25 Basic Fashion Items
After all this, it’s clear to us that some basics are just better than others. Take Arket’s famous Hopsack blazer, for example—it’s a style the brand has sold for years now. I have it in multiple colours (as do many of my fellow editors and influencer pals) and people always compliment me on it, asking if it’s designer.

The same goes for Arket’s perfect white T-shirt (I buy these in bulk for fear of them discontinuing it). Other best-selling hero buys our research turned up, include H&M’s budget-friendly wide-leg trousers (we sold over 2,000 pairs of these last year alone), Totême’s iconic...

Redeeming physical NFTs: Easier said than done?
Despite the crypto winter, nonfungible tokens (NFTs) continue to draw interest. This has become apparent as many brands and retailers have started to offer digital NFTs attached to physical products.

According to sources, RTFKT is creating digitally-designed sneakers backed by a physical product. RTFKT’s official Twitter account recently tweeted that Lace Engine NFT holders will be able to reserve a pair of Cryptokicks iRL, which can then be redeemed for its physical version starting May 1, 2023. 1/ We are allowing all Lace Engine holders to reserve their sneakers in the RTFKT I...
