These 2 Effortless Pieces Are the Key to One of the Most Classic Outfit Combos Ever

When cooler weather rolls around, there is one classic outfit combo that I swear by regardless of the trends of the moment. This combination has two key pieces: a crewneck sweater and jeans. Any color of sweater or denim style will do, but my personal favorites come in the form of neutral knits and straight-leg jeans. I know I am not alone in my loyalty to these two closet staples. A quick look through my Instagram feed and recent street style photos shows the clear, stylish evidence.

In time for fall, I rounded up some fresh inspiration on how to style the effortless duo. While the sweaters and jeans stay pretty much the same every year, the accessories and shoes keep everything looking current. Right now, that means adding in pieces like suede tote bags and sleek belts. As for the shoes, that is another plus about this combo. You can wear any shoe style, and it works. Opt for slingback heels or pumps for a dressier look or try loafers, flats, or boots for a casual fall outfit that still feels elevated.
