Brilliant Basics?

[AlmostTwo]

Any recommendations for where to buy the basics like vest tops, leggings and anything else you can think of that is a basic wardrobe must have?
Don't have to be the cheapest as would like them to last but also don't want to spend a fortune for tops that will be going underneath other tops.

I only wear leggings in the house but Mint Velvet are the best I’ve tried.

Arket or Cos for basic t shirts.

my favourite leggings are from lands end and M&S and the vest tops are from weird fish, M&S and morrisons.....the latter were super cheap so not sure how well they will last

I've found H&M are great for basics. Agree with Morrisons too

M&S for leggings. Tu and Nutmeg are fine for t-shirts and around-the-house leggings.

M&S for vests and leggings

Or H&M

Most of my T-shirts and leggings are from Primark and they have lasted years. Definitely recommend. Also Next do really nice basic T shirts from around £6.50. I know you said money not necessarily a problem but no point spending tons unnecessarily!

I like Lands End t-shirts and Uniqlo for t-shirts but they aren't cheap. I wear white and black t-shirts a lot, and for those ones the cheaper ones are fine for everyday.

I dig through my drawers for my new look long sleeve t shirts. I have hundreds but they're the ones I actively do the washing for

I really like nutmeg for vests and m&s for t-shirts. I think its worth hunting for a really good fit - my shape is crap in primary vests but nutmeg are fab! Then I get over excited about all the colours...

Hush do really good long vests in black, white and charcoal. Wash brilliantly. Great for layering

Matalan are best for long line vest tops , and just a few pounds summer and winter colours vary . Next also have a wider colour range.
White grey and black from Matalan.
Khaki, and navy from next.
You may need to order.
Other colours available but the neutrals are best .

I’ve got some lovely leggings from ASOS, nice and thick (not see through), high waisted and comfy. Also had some nice ones from Sainsbury’s in the past.

Its not a place I would normally shop but I picked up some vests from matalan the other week. I’d gone in to look at homeware and picked some up on a whim. They are lovely! Bit of stretch so very comfy and longline, which I need as I’m all torso. Super cheap too! I’m going to go back and see what other colours they have as I only got black.

Arket or Uniqlo for basics. I've just got some leggings from Adanola though and I'm converted, they're so soft and comfy - but functional when needed.

I really like the 'base layer' tops from Cotton Traders. I buy the whi

I really like the Base Layer tops from Cotton Traders. I buy the white in short and long sleeved. Great to wear alone as t-shirt or under a shirt or jumper. I'm a size 10-12 and I wear a medium.
They're really soft and just ever so slightly Ribbed- not really so that you can see, but they seem to be a bit more warm and cosy than a standard 'flat shiny' t-shirt!

Muji for vest tops.

I'd disagree with the recs for M&S t-shirts. They go out of shape quickly, and saggy on the neck. I won't buy any from there again. I do rate their jeans though, and some of their jumpers are good.

I always recommend leggings from asos, the ones I get are in a 2 pack, I get them high waisted. They’re nice and thick, long, don’t bobble or sag and don’t go holey. I usually buy 2 packs of 2 at once so haven’t bought any for a while as I tend to just wear them in the house and not really when I’m going out, the same 4 pairs have lasted me a few years now.
i don’t wear vests!

Agree with Mint Velvet leggings
Like t-shirts and vests from Rapanui

Thank you so much for all the suggestions, some places I had never even heard of so will take a look at those.

Have already had a quick look at the mint velvet leggings and very tempted to treat myself.

Also like the sound of the Cotton Traders tops as I get cold easily so anything warm sounds good to me!

If you like colours, then Kettlewell Colours do lovely tops.
My favourite are the Hetta t-shirts (both short- and long-sleeved)

Camisoles rather than vests but I rate the Jigsaw lace ones really highly - they last forever.

Spanx leggings are absolutely the best. Pricey but last years and look really good
