When you think of Jennifer Lopez, “Wears great basics” probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. You probably think of her glamorous, red-carpet-worthy looks. But as someone who studies her style on a near-daily basis, it’s my job to report my findings. And today, it’s that J.Lo has a knack for finding incredible basics, and she expertly incorporates them into her outfits on a regular basis.
