I'm Spring Cleaning My Travel Wardrobe, and These 10 Comfy Basics Are the First Styles I'm Buying-From $5

"I'm a shopping writer, so you would likely expect me to have a closet that's brimming with the latest trends. The truth is, over time, shopping for my own closet has become increasingly difficult-and I've experienced a tragic case of shopping burnout. As my tastes have changed over the past few years, I've pruned my wardrobe to just a few beloved pieces, and I never got around to replenishing my once-overflowing closet. I'm in a fashion drought."

"In need of versatile basics to freshen up my wardrobe, I turned to my favorite retailers: Amazon, Nordstrom, and Lululemon. I hunted down pieces that can be easily mixed and matched with items that are already in my closet-and I bet they'll open up outfit possibilities for you, too. Plus, these timeless styles are ideal for traveling. They're sleek and comfy, and some are even wrinkle-free."

Tastes changed over several years, producing a pared-down wardrobe and shopping burnout that left a closet depleted. Ten versatile basics were selected from Amazon, Nordstrom, and Lululemon to refresh the closet, with a focus on mix-and-match capability and travel suitability. Chosen pieces are sleek, comfortable, and some are wrinkle-free to ease packing. Selections include comfortable walking shoes (Asics Gel-1130), dark-wash Levi's Ribcage high-waist wide-leg jeans for versatility, and Rothy's Square Mary Janes for seasonless comfort and day-to-night wear. Price points begin as low as $5.
