From crisp button-downs to polished sets, discover six brands that redefine closet staples into timeless anchor pieces worth investing in.
When building an outfit, it’s essential to have an anchor piece that ties everything together. This piece is known as a basic garment, or simply “basics”—think a plain shirt, a little black dress, or a classic button-down. These basics are your closet staples—your collection wouldn’t be complete without them.
Plain, basic clothing is often the hero of an outfit. Whether paired with other basics or used to tone down a statement piece, these garments are the cornerstone of any look. That’s why investing in elevated, high-quality basics is essential.
To help make shopping for elevated basic pieces easier, Lifestyle Asia has curated six brands where you can find your next wardrobe anchor.
