I am constantly experimenting with new trends and outfit combinations (hey, it’s my job), but there are a few classic outfits I swear by for myself and my clients. From a polished LBD to a power suit, some looks are simply timeless and can be worn for any occasion. Today I’m sharing the one foolproof look I swear by no matter what. The essentials? Keep reading.
The specific outfit combo I swear by as a celebrity stylist is a black blazer with a crisp white button-down paired with skinny jeans and loafers. It’s a classic that I will always stand by because it’s also a look that can be replicated with any budget. Pairing these essentials together is a convenient way to use pieces that most people already have in their closet to create a stylish and professional look. It’s also an outfit combination that lends the perfect opportunity to test out new trends with accessories like a pop of color with cool earrings or a playful handbag.
Shop the essentials you need to create the outfit I swear by below.
