We All Wear Sneakers, Jeans, and Tees—18 That Pass the Fashion-Editor Test
There are a few key staples all of us have in our wardrobes. Yes, I'm talking about sneakers, jeans, and tees. I honestly couldn't even imagine my closet without these basics. I wear each of them or a combo multiple times per week. Now, there are a lot of options in these categories out there in the market—including plenty of noteworthy picks that'll suit a range of styles and budgets. Below, we're giving you a curation of our personal favorites to provide you with inspiration if you're looking to add something new to your offering.
If you keep scrolling, you'll find the specific sneakers, jeans, and tees the editors here at Who What Wear have tested and now swear by. As a note, the selects coming your way are deemed go-tos because of their quality, versatility, and overall forward nature. Go on for more.
"I have way too many pairs of sneakers, but the ones I always reach for when I'm going to a workout are these On sneakers. They're ridiculously comfortable, and I swear they make me run faster. Plus, I love that I don't have to tie them because I'm pretty much always running late for classes."
"No matter how many brand-new sneakers walk into my closet, I always find myself going for these. They're so simple and clean with a silhouette that doesn't draw too much attention but looks polished. Every time someone asks me what sneakers they should get (man or woman because there are iterations for everyone) I tell them about Everlane's Court Sneakers."
"You know when there's something in your closet that you always want to 'save' for a special day? It's weird that it's a white T-shirt for me, but I hate when I do a fresh load of laundry and all of my favorite things are back in the hamper on the first day. So I usually end up wearing this white tee underneath my favorite oversize sweater later in the week as a special treat for myself. That's how much I love it."
"I ordered Khaite's Danielle jeans ahead of New York Fashion Week last season, and they have since become the go-to jeans in my closet. These are a favorite of Kendall Jenner that live up to the hype."
"I've been on the hunt for a great basic T-shirt for years and discovered this Uniqlo style through the recommendation of some fashion editors last year. Designed by Christophe Lemaire at Uniqlo's Paris Research and Development Center, this is anything but an ordinary tee—from the cut to the fabric, everything about this $15 shirt feels elevated far beyond its price point."
