As you probably know, Basics is a Stardoll store that sells simple clothing items for Starcoins. Many people seem to look over this store, but you really shouldn't - and here's why!

Inexpensive Quality
The Starcoin only pricetag on Basics items makes this the perfect place to go when you need a base look for an outfit. Many of the items have good graphical quality with realistic cuts and folds, meaning you can have that extra little touch in your style of the day! Basics items are also a definite essential for non-SS members, as they provide easily accessible base items to make a statement piece pop.

The New Essentials
Some older Basics items that have now left the Plaza, like the  Basics Mini Skirts, are now highly sought after by collectors for their useful shape and easy styling. Old Basics collections are perfect for collectors, as they come in sets of items in various colors - fun to track down, and easy to match with any outfit!

Future Investment
Just like the Basics Mini Skirts, it is possible that other Basics items will become popular after they leave Starplaza. If you want a way to get easy SC in the future, try predicting which items will become popular later, and stocking up! Nothing is guaranteed to become wanted, of course, but if I was going to buy up some Basics, I'd probably go for the heeled shoes in the latest Basics collection - neutral colors make them a must have!
