Everyday basics for the cool girl: boxy tees, ribbed tanks and a good pair of jeans in straight, wide and bootcut cuts. Easy to mix, easy to wear on repeat.
Basic cool girl
A cool girl wardrobe starts with a handful of basics that fit well and go with everything. I begin with the white tee, and the Maison des Nus boxy tees with their little prints, the RE/DONE 1950s boxy tee and the perfectwhitetee Harley all sit slightly loose on the body, which is what I want. Add a ribbed tank like the AGOLDE Leigh or the RAILS Robin in cinnamon and you have the base for almost every day. I went deeper on a related idea in California Cool Girl Brands: Relaxed Basics and Sun-Soaked Style.
Then comes denim. I keep a straight leg pair, like the Citizens of Humanity Nora or the DL1961 Cate, and one slouchy pair, like the Levi's Low Loose. The Anine Bing tiger tee is my go-to when the rest of the outfit is plain, and a black moto boot or flat slide finishes it without any fuss.
