How much would you pay for the perfect designer jeans? Or a t-shirt so sexily draped (and cozy) you’d never want to wear another top again? $200? $500? More? Well, two of my favorite labels—Nanette Lepore and Rag & Bone—are tackling the challenge of redefining the “perfect basic” by launching companion collections that are both super specific and, in comparison to their regular lineup, super affordable.

Rag & Bone/Shirt and Rag & Bone/Jean

Nanette Lepore’s Oonagh line (shown below) — which means “pure” in Scottish — is made up entirely of interestingly cut tunics and tees that retail for between $58 and $178. Rag & Bone is rolling out a whopping three lines: Rag & Bone/Knit, Rag & Bone/Jean, and Rag & Bone/Shirt, which I’m sure you guessed focus on knits, jeans, and shirts!

I’m still awaiting final confirmation on prices, but rumor has it that everything will be $200 or less. Both lines are scheduled to hit stores very soon. I for one can’t wait!
