All great outfits start with a basic. Some even consist entirely of basics! A good batch of basics in our wardrobe means we can never go wrong and never run out of outfits to wear. That’s why we picked out some of the bestselling, most-loved and most comfortable basic pieces Express has to offer!
Express One Eleven Crew Neck London Tee
This high-low top is made of extremely soft fabric and has a long, oversized fit for maximum comfort and endless styling. Tuck it in, tie it in a knot or let it hang loose. No matter what we do, this tee will be a go-to all year round. It’s currently available in a deep black shade and a bright mint, so we’re set no matter the weather or occasion!

Mid Rise Dark Wash Stretch+ Jean Leggings
A pair of jeans is essential to our wardrobe. A pair of leggings is essential to our wardrobe. A pair of jean leggings? Double essential to our wardrobe! These pants feature the perfect amount of stretch for all-day comfort. Definitely a much cuter option than our old, baggy sweatpants. “Fits like a glove,” one shopper said, among hundreds of others loving their new bottoms!

Tulip Sleeve Sheath Dress
This dress is sleek, it’s simple and it’s available in five colors! The tulip sleeves are an adorable accent, dressing this basic up enough to wear to a nice event. We love the deep V and the clean, flattering lines on the torso, as well as the way the zipper flawlessly flows into the back seam. Day or night, we’re wearing this dress and we’re impressing, for sure.

V-Neck Essential Tank
This sleeveless top has an easy flow to it, hanging effortlessly out of high-waisted jeans or leather shorts. It’s the epitome of a basic tank we can wear anywhere, but the V-neck is just enough to make it entirely appropriate to wear to work or a nicer event. It all depends on how we style it! It’s all about the shoe pairing. This tank isn’t only available in one color, but seven, so we can have one for every day of the week!

Fitted Crew Neck Sweater
Over 400 shoppers have expressed their love for this wardrobe staple. It comes in 14 colors, yes, 14, and has vertical ribbing which creates visual interest. Even basics can be eye-catching! This sweater is not only so easy to style, but it’s warm, “very comfortable and not itchy,” as one shopper reported. Others commented on how when they wear theirs, the compliments just keep on coming. Did we mention it’s on sale? Yes, we’ll take two of each, please.

Express One Eleven Off The Shoulder London Tee
This tee has an off-the-shoulder fit which we’re obsessed with lately. We can either bare our shoulders or add a cute accent of colorful bralette straps! Shoppers are loving the versatility, one saying they wore theirs to a benefit one week and to work the next. Another loved how easily it could be dressed up with boots or dressed down as a workout top for yoga outings!

Low Rise Barely Boot Editor Pant
Denim is forever fabulous, but for a more work-appropriate basic, these pants are the way to go. They’re available in four colors, ranging from dark black to light pink. The updated waistband was made with extra stretch, so eight-hour days will fly by without a hitch. No more folding our waistband down underneath our top because we can’t handle the physical pressure! Yeah, we’ve all been there. These stylish pants have our backs. Or our legs, to be more accurate.
