Chic Essentials You'll Actually Love to Wear

Wardrobe basics have a reputation for being boring. The blame, in part, lies in the fact that the word brings to mind synonyms like bland, dull, and simple. Who would want to buy anything that uninspiring when they could splurge on a flashy, sparkly number?

While understandable, that line of thinking can lead to a closet full of statement items that don’t go together. And you may find yourself staring at these disparate pieces, wondering how to cobble together an outfit and regretting the lack of basics to tie it all together. That’s where the Amazon Essentials line comes in—it’s full of chic, classic staples that help make getting dressed easier. You’ll love wearing these elegant and versatile pieces.

Stock up on a few easy button-downs that feel soft against your skin and layer well with printed sweaters and jackets. Consider a streamlined piece, like a stylish jumpsuit, that’ll make getting dressed easier. And pick up some exquisite everyday jewelry. Whatever basics you’re missing, Amazon Essentials most likely has them. The best part: It’s all affordable (and now through September 24, so much is on sale!), so these investments make…cents!

Classic-Fit Long-Sleeve Button-Down Poplin Shirt

Made from tumbled cotton poplin, these cozy yet pulled together button-down shirts can work equally as well for the office as for casual weekend lunches. Minimalists can opt for the black or white styles, while those seeking to mix things up can select from an array of colors and patterns.

Lightweight Crewneck Cardigan Sweater

Nothing says quiet luxury more than an elegant cardigan paired with cropped trousers. Add simple gold earrings for an outfit that looks chic any day of the week.

Slim Fit Square Neck Tank, Pack of 2

A good tank top is a key piece you’ll need in your wardrobe all year long. During chillier months, layer it under a blazer; summer days call for tucking into skirts or trousers.

Soft Touch Funnel Neck Cable Sweater

Is sweater weather your favorite time of year? Grab a few of these richly hued turtlenecks and you’ll have plenty of cozy options for all of your favorite autumn activities.

Georgette Slip Skirt

Use a silky skirt as a way to play with textures. In summer go slinky on slinky by pairing it with an equally filmy camisole. In colder months, a fuzzy sweater offers warm contrast.

Demi Cup Microfiber Bra, Pack of 2

A chic wardrobe begins with a chic underwear drawer. These microfiber bras will create a smooth foundation for all of your outfits.

14K Gold Plated Double Split Hoops

Regardless of your personal style, a pair of classic gold hoop earrings that look far more expensive than their price tag is a smart buy. They’re lightweight enough to feel like they’re barely there—so you’ll never want to take them off.

Slim-Fit Half Sleeve Square Neck T-Shirt

A slinky knit will be your secret weapon when you’re struggling to figure out what to wear. Whether worn tucked into a statement skirt or with jeans, it can go from dressy to casual easily.

Knit Surplice Jumpsuit

Too overscheduled to think about getting dressed? Get a jumpsuit like this V-neck style that cinches in at the waist, and all you have to do is add on shoes for a pulled-together outfit.

Chunky Sole Chelsea Boot

This thick-soled Chelsea style has enough heft to add a cool factor to feminine dresses. Or if you’re more of a jeans, sweater, and boots type, they’re the perfect ones to wear all winter long.
