I Only Buy Basics on Sale—These Are the Best Options Out There Right Now
I never buy anything full-price. Okay, maybe not never, but it’s definitely a rarity since every time I do buy something full-price, it goes on sale. I bought a white cinched-waist dress a few months ago—now it’s 40% off. Cropped Re/Done T-shirt—now 60% off. Frayed jeans—now 15% off. And thus I have sworn to myself that from now on, I only buy on sale.
Occasionally, this rule gets broken, but only when it’s something I need in a timely manner or from a brand I know for a fact never gets marked down. This rule has saved me countless times (and countless dollars), but I would say it is most pertinent when it comes to basics. The second I see one of my favorite basics go on sale, I buy it. Whether I need it or not, I know I am going to wear it, it’s never going out of style, and there are at least 15 ways to wear it. Ever since I started abiding by this rule, my closet is full of staples that were absolute steals.
After doing a bit of winter cleaning, I finally had some room in my tiny closet for a few more basics. So after some thorough research, I found myself refreshing my tracking info about 153 times to see the status of all my packages. Now that I’m all stocked up on my favorite basics, I thought I would share some of my favorite finds. Keep scrolling to see the best options out there right now.
