Despite their name, clothing basics should be far from, well, basic. The essentials you need to build the foundation of a solid wardrobe might not be as splashy as a trippy pair of fleece pants or a groovy mohair sweater—but they’re not supposed to be. Every proverbial lead singer in your closet (e.g. said pants and sweater), needs a crew of stellar bandmates supporting their fluttery vocal riffs and rad guitar licks…or whatever other metaphor you’d prefer. Ready for a jam session? You’re in luck: Right now, there’s a grip of top-notch clothing basics available at some of the lowest prices we’ve seen in a minute, just in time to help you assemble your dream supergroup. So if you’ve delayed treating yourself to some wildly cushy socks or a crisp black tee fresh enough to wear solo, now’s the time to rectify your mistake.
