The 30 basics in the edit could become new staples when you want to look instantly chic as they're modern yet versatile. I'm referring to items like cool tanks and linen shirting that would look perfect with jeans. Oh, and speaking of denim, there's everything from a classic straight-leg cut to an of-the-moment barrel silhouette.
