The Effortless 3-Piece Outfit Formula the Fashion Set Swears By for Summer
With one look at my stories on Who What Wear.com, you will quickly learn that there is nothing I love more than a easy look that doesn't sacrifice style. It's always a pleasure to find an effortless ensemble that can have me out the door in less than 10 minutes, so it's no wonder that a certain three-piece outfit formula recently caught my eye on a variety of my favorite fashion follows on Instagram. All you need is three key pieces: a basic white T-shirt or tank top, a white or ivory slip skirt, and a pair of stylish sandals in any color of your choosing.
To prove just how effortless and chic this summer outfit formula truly is, I rounded up seven examples straight from my personal outfit inspiration folder on Instagram. It's clear that the pieces come together to create an elevated look that can easily be dressed up or down throughout the warmer months. Keep scrolling to check out and shop each inspiring take. I still can't decide which is my favorite—they're all so chic.
