11 "Boring" Amazon Staples You'll Wear for the Rest of Your Life

Where would we be without our trusty sartorial staples? They ground our outfits, they’re the building blocks of our wardrobes, and quite frankly, they’re hardest-working items we own. And for this reason, we like to talk a lot about the best basics to invest in here on Who What Wear. We have our go-to brands and retailers we love to shop for great basics (Everlane, Vince, H&M, etc.). Amazon also happens to be high on our list for affordable everyday essentials! Music to our ears. Below we’re highlighting some of the absolute best Amazon basics we guarantee you’ll wear for the rest of your life! From the best white tees to nude lace bras and black leggings, you won’t regret buying these 11 timeless basics.
White Tank Top
Throughout the summer, white tanks are an easy choice to pair with shorts and midi skirts, and in the cooler months, they act as a great layering piece under cardigans and sweaters. These Hanes tanks have a slightly higher neckline and ribbed texture for a modern cool-girl look.
Black Leggings
White Tee
We’d be absolutely lost without our staple white tees. This is one of our best sellers on Who What Wear, as it boasts a not-too-tight, not-too-loose fit, and is not sheer (hurrah!). It’s a no-brainer at just $5.
Slim Jeans
Nude Bra
A comfortable and seamless everyday nude bra is a must in every woman’s wardrobe. This Natori bra is highly rated (with excellent reviews), and I can personally attest to its longevity, softness, and versatility.
Neutral Crew-Neck Sweater
Black Slip Skirt
Hoop Earrings
Black Ankle Boots
Camisole Tank Top
