Basics - please share where you get yours from!

Hi,

I am on the hunt for new ‘basics’ such as good quality T-shirts, long sleeve tops etc.

I am also interested in bodysuits. I’ve just gone an bought a Skims one after having it on my wishlist for a while.

I am trying to create a bit of a capsule wardrobe and realised I am severely lacking in good quality basics!

please share all your tried, tested, and trusted ones!

I like Rapanui for basic t shirts

Bump

People have mentioned Next ‘The Set’ as good quality basics.

Also Uniqlo (I like their merino jumpers especially).

Thank you @SoScarletItWas
Yes Uniqlo is a good shout! I’ll check out the set by next!

I like Cos for heavy weight black boxy T-shirts.

Yes!!

Next do a really excellent range of vest tops. Thick cotton, nice colours, wash brilliantly, well cut. I stock up every summer.

I also like Uniqlo for vests and tapered linen trousers, which I’ve pretty much lived in this summer.

Sweaty Betty or Manners London for leggings.

Rapanui for plain T-shirts.

Oh, and Zara have had a brilliant range of boxy T-shirts this year. Really thick cotton with a bit of stretch.

I don’t usually do well with the boxy cut, as I have broad shoulders and a bit of a tummy so I can look a bit like a pregnant fridge in them, but the Zara one just seems to hit right.

Don’t laugh - Primark - The Edit has had some lovely linen mix items this summer, and a really good quality T-shirt that cost four times their usual basics.

I actually got an amazing basic crew neck t shirt in black from f&f in Tesco recently - quality and material was lovely x

Uniqlo is my go-to place for basics.

Also Fat Face for linen t shirts and chinos.

Interesting. Can’t stand shopping in primark though - it is chaos in there!!
