Fashion is a cycle of new trends and new must-haves that change with every season, every year. But some pieces never go out of style. There’s a reason we call them “Classics” or, in the case of every girl who has ever found herself with five-minutes to dress up in the morning after one too many clicks on the snooze button, “Lifesavers”. They’re understated, infinitely chic, and match every sequined, glittery, tie-dyed, and/or shredded item in your closet.
But here at MOTown Style, we know not everyone goes by the classics anymore. We have transcended to a time where athleisure is king, and street style is the new uniform. So in addition to the classics, we have also listed down 10 “New Basics” us millennials cannot live without, and will wear everywhere, from black tie events to the grocery store.
Here are MOTown Style’s 10 classics and 10 new basics every girl should have in her wardrobe:
