Basics for Women

The pieces you wear the most

Basics for women in good quality

Basics are the pieces you wear the most: the white t-shirt, the long-sleeve, the soft sweatshirt. That is exactly why quality matters. Here we have gathered women's basics that keep their shape, feel good against the skin and are easy to combine with everything else in the wardrobe.

What makes a good basic?

  • The fabric: dense cotton, soft Tencel™ or fine jersey that keeps its shape wash after wash.
  • The fit: clean lines that work on their own, tucked in or layered under a knit.
  • The colours: white, black, navy, brown and beige that are easy to combine.

  • Sweatshirts: the W Tencel Sweatshirt from Blankdays, smooth, soft and less prone to pilling than regular cotton.

Build a capsule wardrobe

A few well-chosen basics go a long way. Start with a white and a black t-shirt, a long-sleeve and a sweatshirt, then add a wool or cashmere knit and a skirt or trousers. That gives you outfits for most days, without a full closet.

Care tips

  • Wash at 30–40°C inside out to protect colour and surface.
  • Skip the tumble dryer and dry on a hanger so the garment keeps its shape and length.

What is a good-quality t-shirt?

A dense, even fabric that keeps its shape, seams that do not twist after washing, and a neckline that does not stretch out.

What is Tencel™?

Tencel™ is a fibre made from wood pulp. It is soft and smooth, breathes well and handles moisture better than regular cotton.

Which basics should I start with?

A white and a black t-shirt, a long-sleeve and a sweatshirt. They combine with almost everything and form the base of a capsule wardrobe.
