When it comes to dressing with basic garments, you only have to take two things into account: that they are in neutral tones (white, black, gray, camel and denim) and that they are simple lines, without complications. That is why we liked this look by María Pombo so much because in addition to complying with the rules, the combination is current and feels great.

Camel coat

Camel coat

If you have to stay only with a coat that is a basic one like this, made of cloth and camel in color, so that it goes well with everything and gives us a certain minimalist but classic air. The influencer Alex Rivière wears it with a very very simple look in black and it is a total success.

Turtleneck and leggings

Turtleneck and leggings

Leggings, especially the most basic ones in black, can be a good bet to combine with oversized upper garments. In this case, the mix seems like a success because it also contrasts the shiny material of the pants with the warmer material of the wool sweater.

Jeans and T-shirt

Jeans and T-shirt

This may be the most basic look of all and it is that who does not have jeans and a T-shirt in the closet. Together they have proven to be the foolproof combo that always works. If you want to wear it in a more modern way, tuck the shirt inside the pants and cut the hem of the pants so that they are frayed.

White and houndstooth

White and houndstooth

White pants, white sweater, total looks in this color are one of the hits of the season but we really like the twist Ana Rey has given to this idea by adding a houndstooth print blazer.

Do you need a more 'groomed' look? Well, copy Marta Carriedo who makes one based on the basics that are nice to see: black shirt and pants. It does not have much mystery but no one beats cash.

To go to work you can also opt for a working girl look made up of only basics. Caroline Daur does it with a white jacket suit that is not such because it is made up of flared jeans and a blazer of the same color that combines with a black T-shirt and matching cowboy boots. Simply flawless.

Camel sweater

Another super simple look from the German that is to frame it. The same white jeans are transformed with a tasty camel sweater. She mixes them with jewel sandals but with ankle boots or closed flats, you also have a perfect look.

White, black and gray

White, black and gray

This color combination almost looks like a gradient - we love it! Coat: white, sweater: light gray, pants: black. To liven up your mix of basic garments a bit, a bag with a multicolored print.

Jeans with black

Jeans with black

We are very, very fans of this look and look how easy it is to replicate. All you need is jeans, a black sweater, and a coat in the same color. Of course, part of the fun is the accessories with which it is allowed to play a little more.

Black skirt and sweater

A black skirt is a basic wardrobe staple, but your only companion doesn't have to be white shirts. In fact, they look even more stylish with t-shirts and sweaters.

Matching cardigan and blazer

Matching cardigan and blazer

Do you have a camel-colored cardigan? And a jacket of the same color? Add a white shirt, jeans and white sneakers (which you will surely also have) and you will get a look worthy of one of the influencers with the most followers of Instagram.

Gray pants and black jacket

Gray pants and black jacket

The men's shoes and the sailor's cap are what put the differentiating note on this look that only has three more elements: gray tailored pants, nude sweater and black jacket. And if you only have those three elements, it is because you do not need more. Dressing well with basics is super simple.

Black and brown

Black and brown

darker version of camel has never gotten along with black or so we thought because this look has left us with our mouths open and not only because the color combination works but because the overshirt, although it is not a basic background of typical closet, it is gorgeous.

Gray sweater and jeans

Gray sweater and jeans

Another hyper-simple formula that works wonders is this: gray sweater and jeans. So much so that we can afford the small luxury of combining it with an animal print bag.
