I Love These Compliment-Worthy Outfits (and You Likely Already Own Every Piece)

If you’re looking for a top-notch outfit idea, what’s coming your way might be highly intriguing. That’s right—I’m here to showcase an edit of spring ensembles I’m loving at the moment. While all are unique in their own right, they share similarities in that they all could certainly garner quite the compliments given their fashion-forward nature.
They’re also pretty easy to put together and could be created using many basics you actually already have in your closet. As a preview, I’m talking about looks featuring chic knits, sharp trousers, and sleek outerwear. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to uncover a smattering of solid outfit ideas. As I mentioned, you may already own similar pieces, but if you are interested in adding something fresh into your wardrobe, there are also inspired shopping picks as well.
Blouse + Trousers
A blouse tucked into trousers is a classic look. The trick here is in the styling of the shirt to create that compliment-worthy, forward vibe. Un-button the blouse enough and push it up so it sits slightly off your shoulders for a chic silhouette.
Blazer + Belt + Jeans
Consider wearing your favorite blazer as an alternative to a top by buttoning it fully and adding a belt to tie it all together.
Sweater + Tee + Trousers + Coat
A layered silhouette is a simple way to turn heads with the directional feel. A sweater tied around a T-shirt and coat uniform is effortlessly chic.
Shirt + Leggings
If you have a slightly more oversize shirt, team it with a pair of leggings for a casual look that’s actually quite trendy and fashionable.
LBD + Sweater
It’s all about that pop of color to make a statement. Slip into your favorite LBD and add your most vibrant sweater into the mix for something different.
Blazer + Skirt
A printed skirt paired with any style blazer is very elegant and attention-grabbing.
