For as long as I can remember, simple yet elevated has been my go-to aesthetic. Think classic ’90s minimalism meets French chic. One of the mainstays that I have discovered I lean on the most in cultivating this look has always been a rotating set of elevated basics that speaks to the current season and, at times, the current trends of the moment.

Another key basic, with consideration to what is trending, is a chic boat-neck top.
