I'm a big believer in using all of your resources. When planning outfits, of course, I look on Instagram and check out other articles to see what my colleagues at Who What Wear are loving. But first, I go to my friends, as they're the most stylish people I know. Many of my friends work in the fashion industry, but even my friends who don't consider themselves to be fashion-savvy know their way around a great outfit.
Lately, I have been needing all the outfit inspiration I can get as I'm getting ready for fall in New York and have an upcoming trip to Europe where I plan to have next-level good looks. Ahead are five outfit ideas my friends recommended that really stood out to me as chic yet easy to re-create.
Two-Piece Sets
I love a good two-piece set. I mean, honestly, you can never go wrong with one. Whether you're looking for a great daytime look, a date-night look, or a vacation look, it's a guaranteed way to look chic. I plan on wearing a lot of two-piece looks this fall.
Crochet + Cargo
I just wore this outfit and received tons of compliments. Every cool girl has a great pair of cargo and this pair from With Jean has totally stolen my heart. Its safe to say I am obsessed with this combo.
Midi Skirt + Tank Top
I could live in this outfit combo. It's perfect for a day out running errands or meeting friends for brunch or happy hour. I style this look with flat sandals or sneakers when I want a more casual vibe and add sleek mules or wedges when I want a dressier vibe.
Corset Top + Pants
Over the past few years, I have become a huge fan of corset tops. I love how princessy I feel when I wear one. I balance them out with great pants (usually something low rise and a little looser). This is my go-to look for a night out.
Crop Top + Denim Shorts
This is such a classic summery look, and I've got to say I'm a fan. I love how Cass styled this dainty crop top with Western-style boots (such a good choice). An ultimate day-to-night look if you pair it with the right shoes.
