These basics from J.Crew, Gap and Mango are so good I had to share them ASAP

During the last holiday season, almost everyone I knew was shopping. As a publisher, I scroll through hundreds of flashy, cutting-edge articles daily, so I'm a little less easily convinced by the promotional emails flooding my inbox. However, I'm still human, so I did some shopping but mostly focused on basics that were missing from my wardrobe. While Mango's jewel-embellished slingbacks or Gap's sub-$100 metallic jeans still come to mind on occasion, the basics I've purchased have already seen a lot of wear in the first two weeks of 2023.

If you're curious about where I scored my new set of bases, look no further than Mango, J.Crew and Gap. You'll find everything you need, from classic oversized button-up shirts and pointy-toe pumps to more current basics like maxi skirts and wide-leg jeans. And the bonus? All three retailers are currently offering plenty of discounts, so you might even end up saving some money along the way. Keep scrolling to take a look.
