Two wardrobe basics from the Spring 2022 Collection that are anything but! First up is the Essential Top, an all-white blouse with flutter sleeves and a subtle A-line shape for added movement. Crafted in our poly crepe fabric, this top can easily be dressed up for the office or a night out with your girlfriends. Next, we have the contrasting Tranquil Tee, an all-black tee with a V-neckline and classic cap sleeves. This T-shirt comes in a buttery soft, ribbed knit fabric for all-day comfort. Make no mistake, these two pieces are not your average basics—blacks and whites provide an excellent jumping-off point when it comes to styling. Plus, they’re so easy to pair back to other prints and hues in the Collection.

With these two wardrobe basics on hand, the styling options are practically limitless. To prove just how versatile and essential these two items are, we styled each one into three completely different outfits ranging in dressiness for any and all occasions. Take a look at the video to see the final looks fully styled, and find out why these basics are anything but!

For your next date night, try a head-to-toe white look that styles white denim back to the Essential Top. Then, throw some color into the mix by topping it off with a red, black, and white cardigan.
