Minor wardrobe players once upon a time, elevated basics are now the foundation. We can’t go without the bike shorts we layer with, the bralette we live in, the bodysuit we wear on repeat.

This is why we’ve created our new go-to basics range, Base by Showpo. Designed to steer our style into the new season, this trend-driven collection of basic tops, bottoms, dresses and one pieces ticks all the boxes on our must-have staple checklist.

Minimal, sleek and clean cut, these pieces are made from luxe jersey, lightweight fleece and soft ribbed fabrics - and in a palette of muted tones, from camel and white to sage and sand.

Explore some of our personal highlights from the collection below and some tips for how to style them.

 

The Trend Bralette

Unique, understated and bang on trend, the Adanica Bralette is our new fave. Wear it with the matching Thisbe Bike Short, or contrast the sand version with baby-blue boyfriend jeans.

The Must-Have Bike Shorts

I think we can all agree that bike shorts are the bomb. Pair the Thisbe Bike Short in chic khaki with a matching racerback top, or dial down the gym vibes by adding a blazer or tee.

Turn It Up With A Cropped Tee, Sweater or Blazer:

The Classic Bralette

For a more classic bralette silhouette, opt for the Adleigh. Style it with the matching Dariko Leggings, or take it out to brunch paired with a sleek-and-chic multicoloured midi skirt.

The Versatile Bodysuit

Bodysuits might be the hero of the new range, with so many shapes and shades to choose from. We dig the Machoka Bodysuit in chocolate with the Shammy Track Shorts or white jeans.

The It-Girl Catsuit

Puuurrrrrrr. We adore the Adorlee Catsuit, and really can’t wait to style it. Just imagine it paired with an oversized tee and chunky sandals or with a crisp oversized shirt and heels.

Tone It Down With An Oversized Graphic Tee:

Turn It Up With A Button-Up And Heels:

The Ribbed Mini Dress

Dress fans, consider the Adricha Mini, especially in lush camel. Pair it with sneakers or experiment with tonal dressing by adding glam accessories in shades of caramel and bronze.

Turn It Up With Dressy Accessories:

The Slouchy Trackpants

We vouch for the slouch. Wear the Charilyn Tracksuit Pants with a tee from our cute and colourful loungewear range, Sunday Society Club, or try adding a blazer, crop top and heels.
