5 Easy Outfits That Will Make You Look More "Fashion"

When you think of “easy” outfits, some variation of a jeans-and–T-shirt situation probably flashes through your mind. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with this look, there are other outfit combos out there that are just as simple but a tad bit more forward. To uncover these vibes, we naturally turn to our favorite fashion girls for inspiration. With that said, keep scrolling to check out five no-fail looks that take seconds to put together, but will give you that “fashion” feel to make a sartorial statement. Plus shop the must-haves for each if you don’t quite have all of the essentials in your arsenal yet. Done and done.
Toss an oversize coat over pretty much anything for an instant way to make a fashion statement.
Going the monochromatic route with an ensemble is one of the simplest ways to achieve that desired fashion-forward vibe.
You can’t underestimate the power of a bold throw-on-and-go dress. All you have to do is slip into a pair of statement shoes and you’re set.
If just jeans and a top is your vibe, pay special attention to the accessories—like the silver mules here—to bring your easy ensemble to the next level.
A pair of leather pants as an alt to skinnies, mixed with a furry coat and classic sneakers feels cool yet impossibly elevated.
