As those in my inner fashion circle know, there is nothing I love more than an easy look that doesn't sacrifice style. This season, there is one outfit formula I plan on wearing on repeat that fits the bill perfectly. It includes four key pieces: a trench coat, a basic top, straight-leg jeans, and a pair of classic flats. This mix is elevated, expensive-looking, and super simple to pull off, so it's a no-brainer for spring.
I recently rounded up some examples of the outfit idea from stylish people I follow on Instagram to keep handy for a future rushed morning when I am not sure what to wear. I love that the formula is foolproof. You can see with each look that they followed the same idea but can incorporate varying styles of each key piece. This proves that the combination is incredibly hard to mess up and still allows for everyone's personal style to shine through. Keep scrolling to check out five effortlessly chic spring outfit ideas and to shop each look.
