Essentials Clothing

Our most signature, versatile pieces curated for a well-rounded wardrobe. Neutral tones, minimal designs, and classic silhouettes in our Essentials collection create a strong starting point for outfits across all occasions. Selected with an emphasis on timelessness, our curation of basic tees, denim jeans, lightweight jackets, button-down shirts, and underwear silhouettes are all staple wardrobe pieces. Our men’s and women’s clothing essentials pair easily with each other to create limitless outfit combinations. For instance, our denim jeans look great with our simple tees for a relaxed, everyday outfit, or they can be worn with button-down shirts for a more elevated look. Layer simple tees under jackets for something sporty and casual or pair woven pants with button-down shirts for sophisticated, professional wear. Classic underwear silhouettes with signature logo styling easily compliment all outfits and are crafted from an incredibly soft cotton blend for all-day comfort. Create an ideal men’s or women’s capsule wardrobe with Calvin Klein’s timeless clothing basics.
