My Friend Asked Me for Simple Outfit Ideas That Are Chic—I Sent Over These 6
Over the years, I’ve had a dynamic fashion evolution. Whether I was wearing more experimental looks or classic styles that stand the test of time, I’ve run the gamut as far as personal style choices go. However, as a lifelong lover of getting dressed, I often take for granted how second nature it is for me to throw together simple, chic outfits in a matter of minutes.
I’ve had friends ask me to dish on some solid advice for daily styling, so I decided to share a handful of simple but chic outfit ideas for getting dressed. From the date night ready looks like a sweater and a slip to classic looks like a waistcoat and pair of slacks, these looks will always do the job.
It's hard to look bad in a monochromatic outfit. Wearing clothing of varying hues but in the same color family produces an effortlessly cohesive look.
We love any reason to throw on a beautiful frock, but there's something particularly satisfying about a heap of billowy fabric. The extra volume adds a bit of weight and depth to a look, and pairing the dress with a fun pair of shoes is always a winning situation.
A flowy maxi skirt can be worn year-round. Pair it with a sweatshirt and universally flattering shoes such as square-toe boots. With this combination, you have a casual look that still has an air of everyday elegance while still being approachable.
If you're looking for an easy cheat code for a simple yet chic, sophisticated look, try a matching set. The waistcoat-and-slacks combination is incredibly sophisticated and can be styled up or down depending on how you accessorize.
For a look you probably already own, grab a simple, solid-black top, your favorite pair of denim, and your go-to booties.
Throw on a pair of jeans and a trench coat with almost any top from a T-shirt or a chunky sweater to a silk button-down. A trench coat has a way of elevating even the most basic looks.
