If you’re wondering where our editors consistently return to for basics season after season, I can tell you there are two retailers I hear our team talk about again and again: J.Crew and Gap.

With J.Crew, I’d go as far as to say that every single one of our editors owns at least something from the brand. TThat proves it transcends any one specific style or aesthetic, since it’s filled with wardrobe staples. It’s one of my go-tos for cashmere, such as the Perfect Cashmere Cardigan, Featherweight Ribbed Cashmere Short-Sleeve Sweater-Polo, and Cashmere High V-Neck Sweater. For spring basics, the Cotton Voile Scallop-Trim Babydoll Dress, Pleated Skirt in Cotton Poplin, and Pull-On Midi Skirt in Cotton Poplin caught my eye.
