Having some key staple pieces in your wardrobe can seriously add value, invigorate your wardrobe and bring peace of mind when you have a last minute event to go to.

A good basic, ticks a number of boxes - versatile, trans-seasonal, classic and perfect for layering.

Whatever the reason... relaxing at home, heading out for a bite to eat with friends or a special occasion with family, Tulio has some great essential basics.

Here are some of our favourites!

A Necessary Basic Tee

A t-shirt that fits just right can make or break an outfit and Tulio has two great options. The Ultimate T-Shirt and Ashley T-Shirt.

The Ashley has a vee neck and short sleeves which are the PERFECT length. Just long enough to cover the top of the upper arm, while still leaving your arms free to move and keeping you comfy in hot weather.

Whether you're lounging at home in trackies or out and about in your favourite jeans and sneakers, this comfy cotton tee will keep you feeling on trend without even trying.

Choose from seven colours in small to 4XL at $49.95. Stocked throughout the year.

The Ultimate T-Shirt is a timeless basic that's so easy to style. We love the simple cut of this one, which features a round neck with sleeves that offer a bit of extra coverage on the upper arm and feature a flattering, wide rolled edge. With a cotton rich composition with a touch of added stretch for an easy fit and to keep its shape, you just can't go wrong.

Sizes range from small to 4XL for $69.95 and available in ten colours.

Both tees work with Stefani Cotton Capri or Tori Stretch Capri pants.

Layering - Tanks and Camis Tops

Layering is the best way to make your wardrobe go further. It also makes it more versatile over the seasons and gives a fresh look to older items in an effective way.

A tank or cami under a jacket or open shirt instantly changes the look. A striped tank such as our Basic Cotton Striped Tanks in navy, black, red and royal blue stripes with white add a sophisticated Parisian feel too.

Prefer a solid cami, then the Mia Cami or Bamboo Cami for breathability are ideal options. Mix and match and go from work to dinner when you pair it with the bestselling Gianna pant and a Chelsea jacket.

For those wanting more coverage under sheer shirts, tops and dresses, the cotton, thin strapped camisoles and slips are an essential wardrobe option. Reversible Cotton Camis, Tamblyn Cotton Cami work well under tops and the Reversible Cotton Slips work best under sheer or see-through dresses.

Slip Dresses

The Amy Midi Stretch Slip dress (long) and the Petra Slip Dress (perfect for petites) are made from stretch jersey conforms to your body. Dress it up or down with your choice of shoes or accessories.

The Amy Midi Stretch Slip is available in nine solid colours to choose from, sizes ranging from 10 to 24 at $69.95.

The Petra Slip dress has six solid colours to choose from, perfect for petites, sizes 10 - 24 at $69.95.
