My Style Is Simple, and These Are the Street Style Looks I'm About to Copy
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: My style is simple, but I like to think that doesn’t equate to boring. I still love statement pieces and a wide range of brands, and I even surprise myself from time to time with an out-there outfit idea, but when it comes to my day-to-day look, I like to keep it pretty minimal and classic. It’s funny, though, as it relates to today’s story, because those two adjectives aren’t exactly what come to mind when you think of street style, which, with each new season becomes more and more exaggerated, out-there, and over the top. However, I’ve realized that if you look closely enough, there are still a handful of showgoers who skip the many, many statement pieces and deliver simply good outfits composed mostly of basics. Don’t believe me? Just keep scrolling to see (and shop) nine street style outfits that even those with minimal style won’t be able to help but love.
Look 1: Monochrome Minimalism
Simply tuck a sweater into high-waisted jeans and pair with boots in the same color family. The tonal effect makes a big impact.
Shop the look:
Look 2: No Pants Needed
Style an oversize blazer with tights and your go-to ankle boots.
Shop the look:
Look 3: Feathered Up
Wear a pair of fun statement pants with a classic long coat so just the bottom peers out.
Shop the look:
Look 4: Black and White
Layer a white coat (or spring-ready vest) over any all-black outfit for an easy-yet-impactful look.
Shop the look:
Look 5: The Classic Combo
It doesn't get more timeless than a blazer, skinny jeans, and pumps—especially if they're Manolos.
Shop the look:
Look 6: Casual, Comfortable, Cool
Breathe new life into a tracksuit by pairing it with ankle boots and a camel coat.
Shop the look:
Shop the matching Pima Cotton-Blend Jersey Track Pants ($175).
Look 7: Mighty Midi
Style your favorite midi skirt with a white blouse and statement accessories such as layered necklaces, a bold belt, and/or animal-print ankle boots.
Shop the look:
Look 8: Pop of Color
While you may have to ditch the coat part now that spring is here, the idea behind this look still stands: white T-shirt, white jeans, white flats, and a pop of color in the form of a bag.
Shop the look:
Look 9: Suit Meets Sandals
Give your favorite suit set a spring-ready feel by styling it with strappy sandals.

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. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
