The backbone of a timeless, classic and eternally-chic wardrobe always begins with an expertly curated selection of high-quality basics. It's a cardinal fashion rule that even the most trend-conscious shoppers diligently abide by – even Emily in Paris had a plain white t-shirt in her shrapnel. While it may seem simple enough to build a collection of staples, there are some brands who simply do it better than others; and Everlane happens to be one of them. With their impeccable selection, however, often comes an eternity-long waitlist. So, where do we turn to for brands that are just like the covetable Everlane? Our top shopping destinations, below.

Created by former Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg, Entireworld is relatively new to the sartorial roster, but the brand has already made a splash. Describing their pieces as "the stuff you live in" Entireworld has created a collection of comfortable, high-quality and sustainable staples that are perfect for layering or wearing alone. Their website is also incredibly soothing, which is an added bonus when you're online shopping.

Progressive bed to streetwear brand les girls les boys ranks highly on our list of quality basics – their organic cotton sweats collection a mainstay in all of our wardrobes. The brainchild of Agent Provocateur's Serena Rees, the brand places garment quality and sustainability front of mind, creating bespoke fabrics for their designs and using organic alternatives.

Reformation

Cult-brand Reformation rose to sartorial fame for their celebrity-adored slip dresses and skirts, but what has gone under the radar are their collection of sustainable and size-inclusive basics. Featuring a range of stylish loungewear, flattering t-shirts and ribbed dresses for everyday wear, Reformation is one of our top picks for brands like Everlane.
COS

Minimalist, timeless sensibility are the words to describe COS, a brand built on functionality and enhanced by design. With a focus on craftsmanship, every piece in their collection is designed to last beyond the season. Similar to Everlane, COS has become renowned for its high-quality knitwear; an essential piece in every lasting wardrobe.
The Frankie Shop

A favourite of the fashion set, The Frankie Shop caters to minimalists who are searching for the timeless appeal of Everlane, but with a touch of extra flair. The brand's sell-out shoulder-pad muscle tank became the unofficial replacement of the white t-shirt, and their selection of tailored trousers and blazers are must-have pieces.
