Dream on

Some clothes you just want to take to bed with you. That is, if going to bed is also code for chilling hard at the Sofia Coppola-sponsored yacht party of your dreams. Cue Basic Movement’s RTW line of super-relaxed, instantly crush-worthy pieces.

Par for the course this season are pared-down, lounge-ready staples meant to slip seamlessly into the current rotation of your everyday uniform. Sheer, flowing plaid dresses and gamine, oversized vests share the limelight alongside dramatically subdued bell sleeve tops and wide-leg, pajama-stripe, drawstring trousers. Each piece feels as if it were designed to be auspiciously mobile but still effortlessly cool enough to roll both in and out of bed in. The kind of clothes that exude the easy confidence that is the antithesis to the current Kim Kardashian: Hollywood brand of unapologetically thirsty, disposable, fast-fashion eye candy.

And really, who wouldn’t that help sleep better at night?
