31 User-Friendly Fashion Finds That Are Easy to Style
While I love new and exciting trends as much as the next fashion editor, I sometimes look at a piece while shopping online, and it just makes me tired. A fashion challenge can certainly be fun, but a wardrobe cannot live on complicated, super-specific pieces alone. Therefore, I'm putting the focus on "user-friendly" fashion items you can throw on and be out the door in seconds flat. Think a cute trench coat that is the outfit, a skirt that goes with everything, a dress that works for all seasons and with all shoe types, and so on.
Life is busy, and I see part of my job as a fashion editor as making it a little easier in the style department. So I scoured the internet for fresh wardrobe staples that undoubtedly go with many pieces you already own and that you don't need to do research to figure out how to style. Scroll on to shop the user-friendly fruits of my labor.
