Someone once told me, "Your wardrobe is only as strong as your basics," and that's all I'm thinking about as I refresh my staples for fall. As I've gotten older and cycled through many different trends, I've found that the items I wear on repeat (tees, tanks, denim, and jackets) are really at the heart of my personal style. I'm looking to refresh and reinvest for the new season, and one of the first places I always turn to is AG. As I grow more aware of the impact my purchases have on the planet, I appreciate how AG proves that striving for a sustainable wardrobe certainly doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your style. Keep scrolling for my top 16 essentials, including trending basics like wide-leg jeans, the perfect white tank, and a suede jacket that's begging to be worn ASAP.
