One thing I know I'm not bringing into 2023? An overly complicated fashion sense. Gone are the days of wearing jeans that are a little too snug after I eat a meal or a pair of boots that I can only manage to take several steps in. No. I'm taking a stand. This year, I'll be implementing a more relaxed approach to fashion.
Let's be clear that when I say relaxed, I don't mean messy or not put together. Instead, I'm referring to that easy, effortless look associated with French and Scandinavian street style. Of course, relaxed also implies embracing the baggy, loose, and flowy styles that happen to be in this season as well, which, considering the context, I'm all for.
If you'd like to follow my lead here, keep scrolling. My top picks for a more laid-back wardrobe are below.
Throw on this coat and consider your outfit made.
The perfect everyday sweater.
Functional and fashionable, just how I like it.
The definition of relaxed style.
Wear this loose over leggings or sweats or tucked into jeans like it's styled here.
The fitted bodice on this dress is so flattering, and I love that it would be equally as cute styled with an oversize sweater.
Uggs, but make them fashion.
Other Stories is always my go-to for easy-to-wear sweaters.
A '90s-style bag with a contemporary sensibility.
This top would be so cute paired with baggy jeans for a night out.
Invest in a quality jacket you know you'll get a lot of use out of, and you won't be sorry.
A good T-shirt is essential when looking to pare down your wardrobe.
I'll be living in these for the rest of the season.
Still very much into chocolate-brown everything.
Chic and so wearable.
The ruched detailing on this top adds a nice bit of interest.
So easy to dress up or down—a good pair of black baggy pants will undoubtedly go far.
Can you write a story about relaxed fashion without including a pair of overalls?
An oversize oxford should be a prerequisite for all closets.
Casual enough to be worn everyday, but edgy enough to work for night, too.
This will definitely become your "I've worn this three days in a row" dress.
Such a good vintage wash and slouchiness ratio.
A dress that's at once comfortable and incredibly swoon-worthy.
A good hoodie is often overlooked, but it's always nice to have on hand.
I've always thought a slim skirt with an oversize sweater or oxford is one of the chicest looks you could go for.
A navy cardigan is a great basic to have on hand when you're looking for an alternative to black.
I'm loving the forest-green detail on these.
Don't underestimate the power of a neutral beanie!
Coats that you can wrap yourself up in are essential when going for a casual elegance vibe.
I've always found flared pants to be the most versatile silhouette, so you know I had to add these fleece-lined leggings to my cart.
