Basics have always been part of my wardrobe, but only in the past couple of years have I truly come to appreciate them in their own right. Formerly a second thought to more statement pieces, they are now the centrepieces of my outfits. And you know what? I feel like I dress better for it. Another thing I enjoy about basics is just how versatile they are; many can be mixed and matched with one another to create effortless and chic outfits. Then, there’s the fact that they’re ageless.
While age certainly has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, I get there are some items that you might be initially tentative to wear. This comes down to years of being conditioned to think you should dress a certain way when you reach a certain age. But I’m here to tell you those rules are a work of fiction, and when it comes to basics, they really are ageless.
To prove my point, I’ve scoured the social media feeds of my favourite follows to see which basics span their respective wardrobes. From Grece Ghanem to Sasha Mei, each showcases just how integral basics are to style. So much so, I was inspired to create a best-ageless-basics capsule from them. And trust, the pieces coming your way are incredibly versatile and easy to wear, whether you’re 23 or 53. Scroll on to see them.
