The 6 Basics Michelle Obama Has Relied on This Year

I promise you'll get a ton of use out of this classic style. 

Yep, I'd also style it with jeans and block-heel sandals right now. 

Bring this top into fall and winter with the addition of wide-leg trousers. 

I love this cheery yellow hue. 

Mad for plaid. 

I'll be buying this in a size larger than normal for a laidback look. 

Plaid will always be cool for fall. 

This combines two basics Michelle wears: plaid shirts and short-sleeve button-downs. 

Dogs and sweaters—just try to name a better combo.

Pretty in pink. 

I've never been unhappy with an Everlane purchase. 

Alert: This is a 100% cashmere sweater on major sale. You know what to do. 

Pastels are always a good idea. 

Hurry: This great sale price won't last forever. 

This lightweight cardidan is perfect for end-of-summer weather. 

I love how it's styled with all-white pieces here. 

A black cardigan will be one of your hardest-working basics. 

Yet again, H&M comes through with the ultimate wallet-friendly option. 

This looks so cozy. 

This is the type of necklace you'll never have to take off. 

Proof that dainty jewelry can be big on style. 

You had me at "girls' night out." 

Chain necklaces are a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. 

It doesn't get any more timeless than a black blazer.

"Boss Blazer" is right there in the name.

I love dressing up a graphic tee and jeans with a sleek, polished blazer.
