The SceneStyled Anti-Basic Basics Edit
Because your everyday wardrobe staples don't have to be, well, basic.
There are certain wardrobe staples you reach for on repeat, but that doesn't mean they have to look like everyone else's. The Anti-Basic Basics Edit takes the everyday T-shirt, track pant, jort, hoodie and handbag and gives them a little more personality, whether through an unexpected silhouette, playful graphic or detail worth noticing.
From Studio Ay Kalam's Arabic greeting tee to Al Camileon's cropped track pants and Favorite Child's embroidered leather bag, these are the pieces that make getting dressed feel easy without looking like you didn't try.
Studio Ay Kalam | Sabah El Kheir Tee
A white 100% cotton T-shirt gets a distinctly Egyptian update with “صباح الخير” written across the front in red Arabic lettering. Made from heavyweight cotton for an easy, everyday fit, it is the kind of basic that starts the conversation for you.
Dept of Nothing | Department Shirt
A mango-yellow striped shirt gives the classic button-up a warmer, more playful spin. Cut in a relaxed, boxy silhouette from lightweight cotton, it is breathable enough for everyday wear while still bringing some colour to the rotation.
Favorite Child | Burgundy Bag
This isn't your average everyday tote. Crafted from smooth burgundy leather, the bag is finished with full embroidery, signature rope detailing and two exterior pockets, with two straps for carrying it over the shoulder or by hand. Each one features intentionally imperfect embroidery, making every bag slightly different.
In Your Shoe | Blue Wide Leg Boxer Jorts
Part jorts, part boxer-inspired silhouette, these blue denim shorts take the usual summer staple and give it more room to breathe. The wide-leg cut keeps the fit relaxed and easy for warmer days.
Valt | Button Detail Cape Top
A cape-style top gets its personality from a row of buttons tracing the shoulder and side edges. Cinched at the waist, the silhouette turns a simple top into something with a little more structure.
Society | SFA Mini Tee
The fitted half-sleeve tee keeps things simple in shape while letting the graphic do the work. Made from flexible fabric, this navy mini tee is finished with a puff-print rhino graphic for a small dose of personality.
| Terry Pop Tee
An off-shoulder silhouette and striped terry fabric make this tee feel straight out of a retro summer wardrobe. Playful without being overly complicated, it is an easy way to make a basic T-shirt feel considerably less basic.
Precious Trust | PT Stamp Logo Zip Up Hoodie
A heavyweight 500GSM terry hoodie gets a streetwear-heavy treatment with Precious Trust's custom camo all-over DTG print, chest embroidery and woven labels. Its slightly boxy fit makes it an easy match for light denim and black leather Docs.
