How to choose the best basics
How do you choose the best basics for your wardrobe?
A solid basic wardrobe is the foundation for a versatile and functional style. Whether you're going to an office meeting, out with friends or just having a relaxed day at home, it's your basics – like T-shirts, underpants and socks – that tie your whole outfit together.
But how do you actually choose the best basics, so that they are both comfortable, long-lasting and go with everything? Here are some essential tips on what to look for when investing in these everyday favourites.
Quality starts with cotton
When it comes to basic clothing, the material is paramount. Quality cotton is an investment in both comfort and durability, which makes a big difference in everyday life. Cotton has a natural breathability that makes it ideal for T-shirts and underwear that are in direct contact with the skin all day.
High-quality cotton is also less likely to lose its shape and color, even after many washes, meaning your basics will look new for longer. At Main Copenhagen, our T-shirts and underwear are made of quality cotton, which gives a soft and comfortable feeling against the skin - and at the same time ensures long-term durability.
Minimalist design for maximum versatility
One of the most valuable things about a basic wardrobe is its versatility. When your basics have a simple and minimalist design without large logos or patterns, they can be easily styled for all kinds of outfits and occasions. A neutral, plain T-shirt without branding can be worn under a blazer for the office, for example, or it can be left alone for a more relaxed look at the weekend.
Minimalistic designs give you the freedom to mix and match without the clothes looking crowded or unsettled due to the exclusion of logos or other unnecessary branding. A black T-shirt from Main Copenhagen can be easily paired with jeans, chinos or casual trousers and works for everything from working days to evening parties. The simple look is not only timeless, but also indispensable in everyday life, where your clothes must be both easy to style and comfortable to wear.
Fit that makes a difference
Fit is just as important as material and design when choosing basics. Although it may seem like a small detail, the right fit can lift your entire wardrobe and give a sharp, complete look. A classic fit T-shirt can be the obvious choice if you want a versatile piece of clothing that fits comfortably but still looks elegant. Also consider the size – some prefer a tighter fit, while others want a looser fit for casual days. Our T-shirts in Main Copenhagen have a classic fit that sits well on your body without being too tight or loose, making them perfect for all occasions.
Putting together outfits with simple basics
Having a basic wardrobe makes it easy to put together outfits that work for both work and leisure. Start with a solid collection of black and white T-shirts – these neutral colors can be paired with just about anything and give you a stylish look that can be styled up or down. A white T-shirt is an indispensable classic that works well as an undershirt under shirts or blazers, but can also be worn alone for a simple and clean look.
The black T-shirt is ideal for a more sophisticated expression and can transform your outfit, whether you combine it with jeans, chinos or even a nice knit. At Main Copenhagen, we offer a selection of quality basics that can help you build a wardrobe where all parts can be easily used together, so that you get the most out of each and every piece of clothing in your wardrobe.
Make your basic wardrobe an investment
Although it can be tempting to choose the cheapest solutions when it comes to basics, it is often a good idea to invest in quality. Clothes that are produced from good materials and with a perfect fit last longer and retain their comfort and aesthetics over time.
At Main Copenhagen, we have focused on delivering quality underwear and T-shirts at competitive prices, precisely because we believe that a good basic wardrobe does not have to cost a fortune. With the right basics in your wardrobe, you always have something to wear, regardless of the occasion, and you can trust that your clothes both look good and feel comfortable.
Choose the best clothing basics for your wardrobe
Choosing the best basics is about more than just having something to wear. It's about creating a wardrobe that makes everyday life easier and at the same time gives you confidence in any outfit. When you invest in high-quality basics, you invest in your own comfort and style.
