This is a basics day for me which probably looks quite different than someone else’s basics day. That’s because we often choose our basics unknowingly with our personal style preferences. And how you wear them will also be dictated by your style even if it’s not intentional. To break it down my basics here consist of a tan cotton trouser, black cashmere sweater, black boot, and a leather moto. If we gave this list to five different people I guarantee every persons selections would be different even though they all still are just basics. For example to breakdown mine: both my jacket and sweater are an oversized fit. The jacket is made oversized, for the sweater I went up in size. The trousers are wide leg but have a sporty stripe. Here I did the elastic band trick on the hem (grab, elastic, tuck under) in order to slim the bottom and not have them drag today. The boots have a strong pointy toe and a kitten heel. This is another example of how your adjectives come in to play when choosing your wardrobes, even your basics. They’ll work for you and with you if you make the right selection. Another person’s outfit of these same basics would look very different than mine. • . winterLook StyleOver40 kittenHeel basics oversized secondhandFind thriftFinds FashionOver40 MumStyle genX genXStyle genXInfluencer kittenHeels thriftFind WhoWhatWearing genXblogger secondhandDesigner Over40Style 40PlusStyle Stylish40s styleTip HighStreetFashion StyleIdeas LTKstyletip LTKshoecrush LTKFind
