BUILDING YOUR BASICS: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE

No more frantically raiding your wardrobe for an outfit – welcome to the era of your outfits working smarter, not harder. The key? Choosing great basics and building your look from there. To help you find the perfect staples, we’ve rounded up our pick of new tees (in several fits), loungewear (in several weights) and jeans (in several shapes) with tips on how to style them. Keep scrolling for the details.

Whatever your preference, we've got a fit for it. Basics are all about endurance, which is why they're minimal on trending prints and details but max out on heavier fabrics and go-with-everything shades. Just pick a fit that suits your vibe. Our 300gsm Essential tee and lighter-weight Relaxed fit are designed for layering under hoodies and sweaters, while our 240gsm Boxy fit will hold its shape over your favourite pair of jorts. Tight muscle-fit tees are best balanced with a baggier bottom half – and for fans of the ultra-baggy jean (ideally paired with classic sneaks a la Soulja Boy), the oversized tee is your main squeeze.

The more heavyweight your loungewear, the more luxurious it feels – and the more minimalist you can go with your look, which = effortless. We've upgraded our basic loungewear to a mid-weight 300gsm – the sweet spot that’ll keep you warm on cooler days, without overheating. 400gsm is for those who appreciate more heavyweight feels. They're ideal for creating coordinated looks with minimal effort, and premium enough to wear with oversized tailored trousers to push your sweats into the smarter spectrum. Too easy.

The vice-like grip skinny jeans once had on menswear has thankfully relaxed over the past few seasons, and looser jeans fits should now be a firm fixture in your Basics rotation. If you've got to fit in with a smart-casual dress code, our straight-fit or tapered jeans are perfect, especially in a dark wash. And for the baggy fans, we've got both Baggy and Super Baggy to play with. Find your new favourite below.
