Wardrobe basics; they’re the foundation of any good closet, and the building blocks for our personal uniform. And for me, timeless basics are a huge part of my style identity. I love drama every now and then, but I always find myself going back to classic silhouettes and designs which don’t date.

Despite being closer to tall than petite on the height spectrum, I’m always on the lookout for visual tips and tricks that will give me the appearance of looking taller, or at very least, balance out my proportions.
