You can't ever go wrong with filling up your wardrobe with white basics—these forever dependable items go with anything, and most importantly, they help bring an outfit together.
Stock up on these white staples below:
1. White camisole
First things first, make sure you have white innerwear in your closet; it's a basic layering piece that will always come in handy when you want to dress down a blazer or printed skirts, pants. Think of it as your go-to "balancer" when an item feels too flashy for your taste.
2. White T-shirt
Like a camisole but with extra-coverage, a white tee will be useful in taming down loud colors or prints. It's also a weekend staple you'll reach for time and time again, so it's best to look for a well-fitted tee that will hold up even after several washes.
FN Tip: High-quality shirts tend to feel heavier compared to regular ones due to the higher thread-count.
3. White button-down
A truly versatile piece to own, this tailored basic can appear professional for work just as it can look chic for the weekend; it's only a matter of switching up the bottoms you pair it with. If you want to dress it down, try faded jeans or shorts, or if you want a more cohesive look, wear it with a white pair of jeans.
