I'm here to, you guessed it, talk about chic things. What else is new, right? Specifically, basics (one of my favorite topics because they're the foundation of a solid wardrobe) and shoes (obviously). While I recommend basics and shoes from a variety of brands, Zara, J.Crew, and Reformation consistently stock standout styles.

I pulled specific finds that are elevated in nature with forward design details, yet still versatile. Looking for cool pants to wear with your favorite tees and tops? You better believe I included relevant picks (cue drawstring waist). Linen staples to get you through the season? Done. Lightweight knits like J.Crew's creative director, Olympia Gayot, is wearing above? You got it. And, of course, there are plenty of gorgeous sandals and flats to consider. Keep scrolling for more.
