Love ’em or hate ’em, basics are having a moment and just like the rest of us girls, they need style inspiration, too! How else will they know how to dress if someone doesn’t tell them? Well, for you girls out there that could use a basic role model, we found seven beautiful, basic chicks to fill your “Fashion” Pinterest board with one cute-but-safe look after another.
Style icons for basics
-
Lauren Conrad
God bless Lauren and her lifestyle expertise. We love the girl to death, but we're gonna have to agree with Allure. Her style does sometimes skew a little basic. The one-note colors, the default always-modest winged eyeliner, those sausage curls...she's the girl every basic aspires to be.

Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer is always credited as a poster child for effortless, all-American style, but you can only wear so many crisp white button-downs and jeans before you start venturing into basic territory.

Sofia Vergara
You can always count on Sofia to wear something figure-hugging and glittery (with a train or fishtail hem, of course) on the red carpet. Pretty much the basic bitch's formalwear uniform.

Kate Middleton
Anything Kate wears is bound to sell like hotcakes, which we think is a testament to the fact that there are a lot more basics out there than we thought. Kate always looks beautiful, but she keeps her outfits pretty straightforward and standard, missing nearly every opportunity to add a stylish, exciting flair to her looks.

Ariana Grande
What could be more basic than wearing the same underwhelming hairdo all.the.time? Ariana is every basic's hair muse. When she likes a style, she sticks to it — no matter how painfully redundant it may be.

Reese Witherspoon
Reese is the Southern belle basic, a mix of Scarlett O'Hara, Daisy Duke and Annie Oakley all in one.

Kylie Jenner
Because overdrawing your lips THIS much gets you a one-way ticket to basic town.
