When it comes to creating our dream wardrobe, it's easy to want to shop exclusively for fun feathered dresses and statement shoes. Without a solid collection of basics, however, it can be tough to re-create all the outfits you envisioned. Basics really are the staples of our wardrobe, and we don't think our closets would be complete without the perfect pair of jeans, a go-with-everything pair of boots, a great LBD, and a collared shirt.

Whether you're looking for a classic button-down or a cute ruffled collar, shirts with collars are having a big moment. Combined with pleated skirts and sweater vests, they give off a collegiate vibe we're into right now. Plus, if you like an oversized shirt, pairing an open collared shirt with a tight tank is such a cute off-duty look. Keep reading to shop our selections!
