The four things I look for in a good basic are as follows: Fit, quality of the material, colour and versatility, and from my extensive shopping experience, I can safely say that Arket ticks all the boxes every time. For example, I searched high and low for the perfect white tee and, unexpectedly, Arket’s £15 crewneck came up trumps (my husband finds the same with the men’s iterations, FYI). It’s the ideal amount of fitted on the shoulders and loose, but not baggy, around the hips, and I also seriously rate the crewneck collar.
Before I get carried away with my ode to the Arket white T-shirt, let me present you with the 19 other basics that the brand has totally nailed. From the sharp tailored trousers and the softest roll-neck knit to the oversized white shirt and the elevating knee-high boots, scroll down to shop my edit.
