The 35 Best-Selling Basics We're Wearing on Repeat for the Rest of 2020
This year, I am especially thankful for the internet. While COVID-19 undoubtedly threw a wrench into nearly all of our 2020 plans, the unseen power of WiFi has played a huge part in ushering us through these unprecedented times. Whether you've spent countless hours streaming new shows, ordering groceries online, or elevating your apartment's aesthetic, none of this would have been possible without the ability to shop online, and that's something we at Who What Wear are particularly thankful for this year.
So while we still love to identify the latest trends, shine a spotlight on emerging brands, and revel in the hunt for the perfect party dress, I'm taking this opportunity to give a shout out to the everyday items that have seen our editors—and thousands of our readers—through countless Zoom calls, at-home workouts, and indoor weekends. Get ready for an instant upgrade, because 35 of this season's best-selling fashion basics on Amazon are just a few clicks away.
Tops and Dresses
Your basic white T-shirt doesn't get any better—or more affordable. Over 400 Who What Wear readers (and several staffers) have purchased this exact item in the past month.
For days that are somewhere in between sweater weather and sweltering.
Looking for a complete outfit? Pair this dress with your favorite sneakers and you're good to go.
Pair this button-down with your favorite sweater and you've got an instant remote office OOTD.
This dress is so comfortable you may want to also wear it as a nightgown. In that case, we'd recommend buying two.
Sweaters and Knits
It's impossible to beat a classic cable crew-neck sweater. This style comes in eight different colors.
Found: the perfect everyday sweater. We'll take one in each color, please.
Pair this turtleneck sweater with your favorite jeans and everyday jewelery for an instant outfit that works for any agenda.
Readers in the South know that a lightweight crew-neck is an essential part of any winter wardrobe.
For an oversize fit, try borrowing this cozy knit from the men's department.
If you were into ribbed tanks this summer, you'll love ribbed turtlenecks for winter.
Fisherman sweaters are a seasonal fave.
Bateau necklines were made for ballerina buns (and leggings, of course).
Sweaters with balloon sleeves are a Who What Wear favorite.
A perfect gift for anyone looking to keep it cozy this winter (including yourself).
Blazers and Outerwear
If you have to go outside, it might as well be wrapped in this perfect puffer.
Pants and Leggings
These pants were made for video conferences. They're polished and professional yet surprisingly soft and comfortable.
Consider this year the official return of the jegging.
At just $24, we see why readers were tempted to trade their leggings in for these jeans.
The nice thing about joggers? They're great for sitting, too.
These pants are easily dressed up or down, depending on what you decide to wear on top.
