This is a blog post that I feel like I’ve owed you guys for a while now. As a self-proclaimed lover of basics and elevated essentials, I do a lot of research when it comes to pieces I can mix and match effortlessly in my closet. They have 3 requirements: comfortable, easy to wash and versatile. I don’t mess around when it comes to this stuff and I feel as if it’s my duty to share them with you. So, without further ado, here are my top 10 staples that I simply can’t live without. Consider this your online BFF telling you what’s actually worth the hype.

The Lodge Pant: the best pants, quite possibly ever. I think I mention them about 2-3 times a week with reason. I have the crepette version and the satin version. They are wrinkle resistant, elevate any look but can also be dressed down. I love them so much I even have several of each one (you know, just in case). I wear a size small in these!

The ’80s Comfy Denim Shirt: another one of those pieces I just have in several colors because I can’t stop wearing it. It’s perfectly oversized (even in my true size small). it’s lightweight, it’s breathable, it’s perfect. No notes.

Bra-Free 90s Cami: the best bra-free tank! Well, one of them because I have another sporty one in this roundup. This is my go-to basically every day. It has a built in bra so you don’t have to worry about anything. I wear an XS in it! I love how it fits to your body, too, washes well and is soooo seamless. I love it with the Lodge Pants too!

Henley Support Tank: this one is a bit more sporty and absolutely amazing! I wear it with these pants (which will also be in my roundup) and it’s so good. Actually, I currently have it on! I wear a small in this one. I have the blue, grey and white. I would get all of the colors if it was up to me. They’re amazing.

Curve Love High Rise Loose Jean: one of my absolute favorite jeans. They’re loose in the right areas yet hug your body so perfectly. I always do the size 25 and short length so I can wear them with flats or kitten heels. Just trust me on these!

Curve Love High Rise 90s Relaxed Jean: another staple jean in my wardrobe and they are SO flattering. They give your butt the most perfect lift and make you feel like the best version of yourself! I wear size 25 short in these as well.

Mid Rise UltraSoft Easy Horseshoe Jeans: another pair that I never stop wearing. They look like jeans but they’re super comfortable pants that feel like lounge wear and are just amazing. I could not recommend these enough! I wear the XXS regular length (they run a bit big!!). I have them in basically all of the colors they come in.

French Terry High-Rise Barrel Leg Sweatpants: I’m currently writing this blog post with these on… hehe! They’re SOOO good and comfy! I wear a small but I would prefer XS. They’re effortless, lightweight, easy. Perfect for school drop offs and pick ups and so much more. I love them so much. I have them in pink and blue.

Cotton Script Top: I talk about this one a lot and love how it’s an elevated everyday top. I love the neckline, the fit of it, everything! I also live in this baby tee as an alternative. I rotate these 2 weekly! I wear smalls!

Curve Love High Rise Loose Short: the best shorts! The best length, the best fit, the best ever! I love them x1000. I wear them SO much in the spring and summer months! I wear a 24 (size down if in between).
