If my past outfit formula stories haven't made it clear, I am forever loyal to low-lift looks that don't sacrifice style. Whenever I come across one that fits the bill, I make sure I file it in my ever-growing inspiration folder. Enter this easy yet elevated outfit that has caught my eye as of late on a variety of fashion people. The effortless look requires five key pieces: a white button-down shirt, a basic white tee or tank top, a black belt, tan pants (in a variety of fabrics and styles), and black shoes.

This outfit formula is super easy to pull off, looks sophisticated, is easy to dress up or down, and suits a variety of occasions with a quick change into the appropriate shoe style. Plus, it makes for a great transitional look since you can wear it through summer straight into fall.
