Staples, as the name suggests, hold your whole wardrobe together. They’re the unsung heroes that form the stage on which your highlight pieces receive their applause, so it’s worth making sure that your stage is built properly. We don’t know much about actual stage-building, but we know good staples when we see them, and we’re beginning with Nike basics.
If we think back to the pieces of clothing that have stayed with us longer, we picture battered Nike hoodies with an embroidered swoosh to the chest, or those perpetually comfy tracksuit trousers. It's these pieces that we need to hand whether we're heading out or staying firmly on the couch, and it's these pieces that quietly and faithfully form the base to a successful contemporary wardrobe.
When you’re on the hunt for the coming season’s essentials, Nike’s the best place to start thanks to its all-encompassing offering. From Nike ACG to NikeLab and everything in between, the sportswear giant incorporates style and technical prowess into even the most basic pieces. Consider the stage built for your new-season wardrobe to shine.
