It’s easy to reach out for the same things every morning — that black shirt that goes with your high-waisted trousers and fire engine-red pumps or that comfortable white tee that you wear underneath a navy blazer and matching culottes. 

There’s nothing wrong with that if they make you feel good but why not try mixing things up with some new refreshed basics that can instantly jazz up your look? Ahead, some cool ideas on how you can  switch up your rotation and still look chic.
