@nlmarilynIf you’re looking for a few new outfit formulas to mix into your rotation, you’ve landed in the perfect spot. Below, I’m sharing a range of stylish ensembles to consider.

Given that basics act as the foundational elements in a solid look, it probably doesn’t come as much of a shock that some of my favorite recent outfit ideas start with next-level basics. For reference, the basics in question fall in that “trendy” category because they’re highly versatile like a tried-and-true basic, but also have a forward element to make them especially modern.
