The Elevated Basics I'm Recommending to My Friends Who Live in NYC, Chicago, and L.A.

I often play personal shopper for my friends and family. Although, that basically goes without saying as the fashion editor in my group. I’ll frequently receive texts asking for advice on pieces or suggestions on new items to try. On that note, a few people asked for cool basics to consider during their fall-wardrobe prep.

I should also mention that my friends and family live all over the place, including in NYC, Chicago, and L.A. So I thought I’d send a group text with 10 elevated basics I love most that would work flawlessly for their on-the-go lives in all of the fashionable cities—but in reality, any city. It’s worth noting that the colder-weather picks will be better later on for those chillier L.A. nights.
