While fashion fads come and go, basic pieces never go out of style. Having a few essential clothes is a great investment in your wardrobe because you can mix and match them in a variety of ways and styles. Plus, you can wear these timeless clothes for years to come without looking out of date or out of trend.
Apart from that, wearing timeless clothing also helps to reduce your environmental impact. By investing in good quality basics, you can reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable fashion practices.
So while it’s important to choose basic clothes that can be worn over and over, it’s equally important to take note of their quality. You’ll be wearing these for years to come, you might as well make sure that they’ll stay in good condition when you do.
One of our favorite stores to shop for high-quality basics is Love, Bonito. They’re a fashion and lifestyle brand that was founded in Singapore back in 2010. But Love, Bonito stands for much more than just fashion–they aim to be a positive community in the industry through clothes that make women feel comfortable, confident, and, well, empowered.
To help you get a better picture of what we mean, here are a few pieces that we’re totally in love with in their current collection.
Need a power look or a date night classic? The Auria Shawl Collar Blazer is an elegant yet casual throw-on for any closet. It has a roomy open front and ruched sleeves for a more relaxed look. And, it comes with statement cushioned shoulders and useful front pockets.
We love a good asymmetrical top and the Josephine Knot Front Toga Top doesn’t disappoint. This fitted blouse is made of soft jersey fabric and has kimono sleeves and an asymmetric collar. The knot front pattern adds a classy impression, too.
For a casual and “presko” look, the Wesson Belted Shorts would be a great piece to throw on. It has an A-line silhouette and a flattering length, a detachable belt, and again, useful pockets that are spacious enough to hold more than just coins.
We all need a go-to pair of pants and the Elina Tailored Straight Leg Pants works wonders on one’s figure. This pair of high-rise pants has a straight leg silhouette and is tailored from the waist down to give a sleeker look.
Now, if you really want a polished, power-dressing look, the Rita Front Pleat Pencil Skirt is our best bet. This high-waisted midi skirt is cut from a lightweight jersey fabric with and features a few pleats and an edgy front slit to add a bit of oomph.
A Love, Bonito classic, the Flyn Polka Dot Babydoll Dress is popular for a reason! We love it for its vintage, retro-inspired pattern and flowy silhouette. Super girly, super cute, and super comfy!
All of these beautiful pieces are available on Love, Bonito’s website and their Love, Bonito Summerhouse Popups this May 19 to 21 at Powerplant Mall, Rockwell and May 26 to 28 at Uptown Mall, BGC.
