This is the fourth post in my 'Basic Bitch Starter Pack' series. Following on from 'Things Ever Basic B Needs In Their Bedroom', 'Accesorries Every Basic B Must Own' and 'What's In My Basic B Hair and Make-Up Kit'
As a certified basic b I'm geared up to let you know what every basic needs to have in her wardrobe.
A basic's colour palette is very well, basic. Lots of monochrome, grey, stripes, denim and maybe pop of colour if we're feeling daring.
Some of the top places to shop are Zara, Glassons, TopShop, ASOS, theiconic.com
JACKETS
- Denim Jacket: It's all about the oversized denim jacket to put over your identical outfit combinations and omg cute you can even get personalised ones!
- Leather Jacket: It's a requirement for every basic to have a leather biker style jacket in her wardrobe
- Faux Fur: We're spoilt for choice at the moment. Take your pick of colours, prints, textures - the'Teddy' style is very hot right now and did I mention it literally feels like you're wearing a blanket?! Big win when you have to take your dressing gown off and do actual, life
T-SHIRTS
- Lots of white, black and grey t-shirts
- Adidas Trefoil t-shirt is a staple in every basic's t-shirt collection
- Vintage t-shirts to make us seem a little less #basic. Like my all time favourite, my Harley Davidson tee, because I definitely know heaps about motorbikes (not)
JEANS
Are you even going for drinks with the girls unless someone in the group chat says they're wearing jeans and a nice top?
- Jeans: Black, blue and grey skinny jeans with rips at the knees because #options
If someone mentions the holes in my jeans ONE MORE TIME I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL THROW SOMETHING AT YOU ROBERT!
That moment you realise you're a complete and utter basic but you lol about it anyway
ACTIVE-WEAR
A non-negotiable requirement of being a basic bitch is wearing active-wear pretty much all the time. Especially when you're not actually being active and just want to drink almond milk lattes and have smoothie bowls with the gals in your fly af pricey Lululemon or PE Nation gears.
- Tights: Lululemon and I've been getting some goodies at Cotton On Body
- Oversized jumpers
- Sports crops
- Adidas Originals Jacket
SHOES
- White low cut sneakers:The basic b top picks include Adidas Superstar and Adidas Stan Smith
- Platform Vans: 9 out of 10 basics will own these. An iconic pair of sneakers with some extra height to make your legs look longer, yes please!
- Boots: Ankle boots with a heel (Windsor Smith is the basic b go to) and maybe even a thigh high number (I strut around pretending to be Rihanna when I wear mine, bitch better have my money!)
- Ugg boots: Every basic needs a pair of snuggly uggies in her life
NETFLIX ATTIRE
Let me tell you, it is tiring work being a basic. All those brunch dates, keeping your gram game strong, keeping your fiddle leaf fig alive and staying up with a weeks worth of Love Island episodes not to mention those regular trips to Mecca Maxima and Kmart.
All you want to do after a hard day of being so basic is lie down on your waffle duvet covered bed, be propped up by your European pillows and watch your latest show on Netflix, right?
Name me a basic that doesn't live in a dressing gown, I'll wait. Make sure you invest in two.
One is your Bondi Sands dressing gown for tanning Thursdays, save the other for 'good' so it doesn't end up looking like it's been buried in orange dirt. Team it with some cute gears from Cotton On Body or Peter Alexander if you're feeling rich, you deserve it hon.
Probably the best thing I've ever bought, my burgers and fries PJ top
