I Think These Simple Tops Work Best With Jeans, Trousers, and Skirts
There is power in simplicity—especially when coming up with an everyday look. I’m by no means implying that minimalist looks are superior to the lavish layers and bright splashes of bold color of maximalist ones. Sometimes you just want to look put together without having to put in so much brain power. A go-to outfit formula of simple, easy tops paired with jeans, trousers, or a skirt is the best solution for always looking well-dressed with little to no hassle involved.
Ahead, I’ve curated a few no-fuss, classic tops that are perfect for mixing and matching with any jeans, skirts, and trousers that you already have in your wardrobe. However, if you’re looking for a refresh on those essential staple bottoms as well, I've lined up some top-notch recommendations of each below that you're sure to love.
White Button-Down
White button-downs are the ultimate wardrobe work horses. From semi-professional looks that'll pass any corporate vibe check to slightly elevated casual outfits, the uses for a white-button down are truly endless.
White Tank
A simple white tank top paired with almost any bottom is one of the easiest ways to achieve that effortless off-duty-model look.
Black Bodysuit
If you want to guarantee that your top stays tucked all night and goes with everything, you'd better invest in a black bodysuit. The close-fitting design adds just a little dash of sexiness to any bottoms.
