Basic; only interested in things mainstream, popular, and trending, as defined by the ever so clever “Urban Dictionary”. But let’s for the sake of this post use the definition from a more, oh I don’t know refined source like the Merriam-Webster dictionary: Ba·sic /‘bāsik/ adjective: forming an essential foundation or starting point; fundamental.

Everyone loves a classic; from The Great Gatsby to Fleetwood Mac, you can't really ever see them not being iconic. The "white t-shirt" is The Great Gatsby of a fashion classic. There's a reason that through decades, trend cycles, the rise of fast fashion and beyond, the white tee has remained a constant in our [...]
There are times where a trend or a style has made it's way out of what would be considered "mainstream" fashion or maybe it's that it's not the accompanying season that we would normally pair it with but that's the great thing about personal style, it's just that.

The statement sleeve is the Fall alternative to the "off the shoulder" top. The take-over is a fun and unexpected way to add some volume in [...]
"Bor-ing": adjective: Not interesting; tedious, dull. A word I NEVER want to be associated with anything in my wardrobe but lets face it, there can be pieces that if alone or not put together with a vision will in the end be... Boring. A perfect example of that could be the T-shirt dress. Some may say [...]
