I've tried so many bases - these 11 will be my favorites this season

Despite the fact that basics are the simplest of all the pieces in your wardrobe, they can be the most difficult to buy. After all, these are the items you'll be wearing almost every day, so you need to make sure they're worth the investment. No one wants to end up putting a ton of money on an itchy sweater or pants that don't fit everywhere. After struggling to find the right pieces to rely on in my daily fashion dilemmas, I knew it was time to start fresh. I had to do a full trial run of the basics, and when done, the experience changed me (and my style) for the better. I had the privilege of trying out a handful of reliable basics that caught my eye for fall and winter and documented it all for you here. With an array of photos and my honest reviews, you get a proper look at items from all your favorite retailers and how tough they really are. I've made an effort to wear most of them in the last month so you get the real experienceand feel of each piece.

I was looking for easy to wear basics that I could add to my wardrobe this season, and after trying dozens of products, I found 11 that were really on point. -books. Believe me when I say the quality of these pieces simply cannot be explained. You have to experience it. Keep scrolling and see my honest reviews of last month's essays, from the casual pants our readers always buy to the cashmere sweater I never want to take off. I'll be wearing them well past fall and deep into winter, so trust me when I say they're worth a look.
