Effortless and Elevated Are the Goal—These COS, Aritzia, and J.Crew Finds Are It

This dress has so much going for it: the boat neckline, drop-waist silhouette, and midi tea length.

If I see you wearing a cord belt, I know you're a fashion person.

I love a capri-pant outfit because it looks so much more inspired than it really is to create. Try these with a simple tank and kitten heels.

With a low, walkable heel and modern square toe, these are truly "wear anywhere" sandals.

A word to the wise: Anything drapey or semi-sheer immediately looks so luxe.

Love the top as much as the styling idea.

Airy, easy, and adorable.

I saw this tote on a recent visit to the J.Crew store in East Hampton and was thoroughly impressed with how expensive and designer it looked and felt.

Swimwear just doesn't get any more classic than this.

High-neck, longline vests are the ultimate trend because they always look like you tried (even if you didn't).

A vest-and-tailored-shorts set just might be my favorite low-effort, high-yield outfit right now.

All about those clean lines.

Tennis necklaces make everything look elevated.

This scarf detail is everything to me.

Yep, it's already in my cart.

Wrinkle-free and just begging to be packed in your suitcase.

This crinkled texture just looks so expensive, doesn't it?

I've tried countless sunglasses trends over the years and still reach for my oval shades every single day.

Like a cheat code for taking the most basic outfits to the next level.

Effortlessly cool.

Go from the beach to the boardroom and back again.

This layered look is so fun.

One and done.

I'm wearing fewer jewelry pieces but more impactful ones.

Heat wave proof.

Mock-neck tops will always look so pulled-together.

These would be great for summer travel.

I'm taking notes on the belt styling here. Thanks, Aritzia.

Throw it on in seconds. Keep getting complimented all day or night long.

Easy yet directional.

Immediate elegance.
