I Track Sofia Richie's Outfits Religiously, and These Basics Are Key to Her Look

When it comes to fashion, 2023 may have been Sofia Richie's best year ever. Not only has the style star been spotted wearing head-to-toe Prada, Khaite, and Proenza Schouler on the regular, but she also had an unforgettable wedding complete with several custom Chanel outfits. To say she's got good taste would be an understatement. 

But it's true: Richie has an incredible sense of personal style and can put together a look using a combination of the simplest but most versatile basics that could be part of anyone's wardrobe. Yes, even some of her most casual outfits are still designer—that's the quiet luxury trend at work—but that doesn't mean they can't easily be replicated using a combination of high-end and more affordable pieces. 

So we've picked out seven of Richie's best looks that are comprised mostly of wardrobe basics and found similar pieces to shop. From the classic white T-shirt to surprising accessories and several pairs of sunglasses, there are just a few key pieces needed to achieve her everyday and even more elevated looks. Just stick to the basics, and you'll be on your way to sporting Sofia Richie's celeb style soon.

When putting together a monochrome look, choose special pieces that aren't too plain or too fussy.

It's worth investing in a classic pair of black trousers, especially when the fabric is this luxurious.

TBH, white slingbacks go with everything.
