3 Backup Outfits for Whenever You're Feeling Lazy
Every once in a blue moon, do you just feel lazy and have zero energy reserved for thinking of what to wear? Okay, let’s be real… That’s me pretty much all the time, which is why I thought it would make for a fitting story topic. After all, with a new season upon us, there’s no better time to work on our outfit arsenal.
So, back to it. Just how do I combat my inherent laziness? Well, I’ve found that if I keep a few combos top of mind that I know will always look good, I can avoid those last-minute wardrobe malfunctions that come with trying to think of a totally new outfit. This way, I can ensure I’m (almost) always stepping out in something that feels cool. To find out what they are, simply continue on to see the looks (modeled by myself and fellow like-minded editors Michelle and Lauren) as well as to, of course, shop what you need to re-create them for yourself.
Slip Dress + Belt
Slip dresses used to feel too figure-hugging for me to wear, until I realized how much more comfortable (and versatile) they become when you just add a belt.
Shop:
Jean on Jean
Double denim goes with literally anything. To make it even simpler, you can pair the combo with a white tee and then, depending on where you're going, just add some shoes.
Shop:
Tank + Trousers
If a dress is too fussy and jeans won't do, throw on a tank and trousers. The pairing is ideal for dinners, casual events, nights out, and more.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
