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.
