I think these high bases are super cool, and you can get them for less than $100

Basics are essential parts of any wardrobe, mainly because they are so versatile. They can be teamed with other items (including statement pieces and other basics), whatever your personal style. If you struggle to put outfits together even though you have a wardrobe full of clothes, it might be time to invest in reliable basics such as tank tops, shirts and dress pants. Owning some of these basics is also essential if you're looking to create a capsule wardrobe, a curated selection of clothes that will last and can be worn for any occasion.

Just because they're called basic doesn't mean these items have to be boring. A simple tank top can be designed in a variety of fits, styles, and colors. I've selected essential pieces that will elevate any outfit, from bodycon black dresses to blazers and culottes. And as it turns out, there are plenty of options to choose from under the $100 mark.
