Beyond the Basics

Brought to you by

It’s no secret that a strategically-edited, user-friendly wardrobe makes getting dressed a lot easier in the morning. And
we like simple. So what makes the cut? Hard-working, flattering basics that when matched with slightly unexpected pieces,
don’t feel all that basic. Here’s how goop staffers get it done.

  You can take a classic cashmere cardigan and silk trousers really far (like, say, post-work drinks) just by adding strappy heels and a splash of metal.

  A shirtdress has a classic, no frills shape. Make it a bit more complex by rolling the sleeves and undoing a few buttons (adding a strappy flat helps the cause, too).
