As I've gotten older, some semblance of a personal style has started to emerge. While I love checking out the latest trends, I've landed on a set of outfit formulas that have served me again and again over the years. There's one in particular that I keep coming back to: a button-down shirt, jeans, and loafers. The combination always seems so effortlessly put-together and expensive-looking. This look is especially reliable on those days when you want something easy and chic.
Since I've been reaching for this three-piece outfit formula repeatedly, I thought I'd browse the best online retail destinations to help you do the same. Soon, you'll have solid closet staples you can mix and match to create endless stylish looks. Ahead, shop items you can use to build the ideal everyday combo for yourself.
Button-Down Shirt
It's really hard to go wrong with a button-down top. Depending on your personal style, there are many types of button-down styles you can rock. From short-sleeve and long-sleeve varieties to crisp white and striped ones, the options are endless.
Jeans
A solid pair of all-American denim jeans will go excellently with any button-down top for the ultimate take on an easy, casual look. Ahead, there are a wide variety of styles, ranging from vintage '90s to wide legs.
Loafers
Top off this simple look with your favorite pair of wear-with-everything loafers. If you need some inspiration, I've found some gorgeous styles that'll do the job.
