29 Easy Yet Stylish Outfits Fashion People Rely On All Year Round
What is it about easy outfit ideas that make them just so hard to come by? Perhaps it's when we get swayed by trends or simply have too many options in a bursting wardrobe to think clearly. (See our ways to clear out a wardrobe if you're really struggling on this point.)
Either way, we all have those days when getting dressed is a chore. And right now calls for the easiest outfits to avoid a sweat-inducing panic before the day even begins. You know, the low-maintenance dresses that only require well-chosen shoes to be complete. Or the throw-on two-piece that is comfortable to wear and effortlessly versatile with an accessory switch. Although these pieces need little introduction, each season, there are new recipes for success when it comes to creating the perfect look.
So rather than getting in a tizzy, our team has decided to compile a list of easy outfit ideas for us to all reference in the future—and we'd very much like to share them with you. They are the foolproof looks that work without being too much of a challenge or causing morning hysteria.
The next time you're entirely bored of your wardrobe, just revisit the looks below and see what you've got to play with. Should your rails be lacking in a particular area and you'd like to remedy it, we've also found the perfect shopping options to re-create these influencer-approved outfits. Because we’re all about making your life easier.
Easy Outfit Ideas I'm Wearing on Rotation Right Now:
1. JUMPER + SLIP SKIRT
Style Notes: This is the kind of trusty look you can pull out on any given day during any time of year and feel timeless in.
Key Buy:
2. RELAXED SHIRT + TAILORED TROUSERS
Style Notes: On rushed mornings when you need to look smart, grab your nearest tailored trousers and style them with a simple button-down. Easy peasy.
Key Buy:
3. BODYCON MAXI DRESS + BOXY BLAZER
Style Notes: Maxi dresses' floor-hitting length makes them an easy throw-on piece no matter the season. Pop a relaxed-fit blazer over the top for extra coverage or warmth.
Key Buy:
This figure-hugging silhouette is incredibly striking.
4. DOUBLE DENIM
Style Notes: Denim on denim is often overlooked, but it's a year-round staple that requires little to no styling to look pulled-together.
Key Buy:
5. TAILORING + TRAINERS
Style Notes: Tailoring is something you should never be without. I love the more formal suiting in contrast to the casual jeans and trainers.
Key Buys:
The oversized fit adds to the elevated feel of this blazer.
6. CARDIGAN + TAILORED TROUSERS
Style Notes: This is especially effective when you need to get ready in a hurry. Throw on your favourite tailored trousers and add a plain black cardigan to pull the look together.
Key Buy:
7. BLACK TEE + LOOSE JEANS
Style Notes: As you might've noticed, loose-fit denim is a big deal this season, and Lizzy shows just how easy it is to style with a simple black T-shirt. Just add a wool coat in the colder months.
Key Buy:
8. LEATHER BIKER + MINI SKIRT
Style Notes: Rock that short hemline with a trending biker jacket and you'll feel your absolute coolest. You can't go wrong with a top-to-toe noir look.
Key Buy:
9. BRETON TOP + TRENCH COAT
Style Notes: With a trench coat in the mix, you can put little effort into the rest of your outfit and rest assured that it will still look on point.
Key Buy:
10. BEIGE TONES + BLACK ACCESSORIES
Style Notes: This season is already looking to be dominated by beige. Seek out every possible shade you can, wear them together and add a smattering of black leather accessories for a fashion-person finish. Done.
Key Buy:
11. WAISTCOAT + WIDE-LEG JEANS
Style Notes: Chances are you have wide-leg jeans in your wardrobe, but do you ever wear them with a waistcoat? No? Let’s change that.
Key Buy:
12. SWEATSHIRT + HEELS
Style Notes: Anouk knows how to create chic-looking ensembles with the basics she already has in her wardrobe, and this sweatshirt, jeans and heels combo look is one we want to re-create immediately.
Key Buy:
13. BLACK DRESS + BOOTS
Style Notes: A simple black dress is something you can pull out of your wardrobe all year round. Simply add some sleek black boots and you'll instantly look put together.
Key Buy:
14. TWEED JACKET + FLARE JEANS
Style Notes: Prim bouclé jackets are having a moment right now but fashion devotees will know they never really go out of style. Pair them with of-the-moment denim for a swift way to feel elevated.
Key Buy:
This classic style looks so chic with leather trousers, too.
15. STRIPED SHIRT + WIDE-LEG JEANS + BIRKENSTOCKS
Style Notes: Striped shirts are a style staple, but if yours are beginning to feel fatigued, the addition of trending wide-leg denim will give them some pizzazz.
Key Buy:
16. RELAXED BLAZER + BLACK TROUSERS
Style Notes: Is there any outfit that can’t be improved by the addition of an oversized blazer? We (we being Marilyn and me) think not.
Key Buy:
17. WHITE COTTON BLOUSE + BLACK JEANS
Style Notes: For an evening out, there's no classier combination than a floaty white blouse and dark-wash jeans. Plus a read lip, of course.
Key Buy:
18. LEATHER JACKET + MINI DRESS + LOAFERS
Style Notes: When in doubt, TikTok's viral 'sandwich rule' is a great tip to follow. Match your leather jacket with some patent black loafers to make any outfit look more cohesive.
Key Buy:
19. TAILORED SET
Style Notes: On days when comfort is your priority when leaving the house, reach for a loose-fit tailored co-ord. Minimal effort, maximum polish.
Key Buy:
20. MIDI SKIRT + SHORT JACKET + TRENDING TRAINERS
Style Notes: Sometimes even the most 'ladylike' outfits need a little off-duty casualness to stop the look creeping into formalwear. Trending trainers like Adidas Sambas are a great trending way to do this.
Key Buy:
21. BLAZER + STRIPED TROUSERS
Style Notes: Look like you've put all the effort into styling your outfit by wearing printed trousers with a blazer. Unexpected and oh-so cool.
Key Buy:
22. TANK TOP + CUFFED JEANS
Style Notes: Let your basics work hard in your wardrobe. A tank top and cuffed jeans is just perfection.
Key Buy:
23. GREY HOODIE + LEGGINGS
Style Notes: Sweatshirts are the cornerstone of every good downtime wardrobe. If you're in the mood to put comfort first, pull on some leggings to complete the cosy athleisure look.
Key Buy:
24. PRINTED DRESS + BOMBER JACKET
Style Notes: Long check dresses always crop up on the ’gram. Wear yours with a bomber jacket like Anne-Victoire for a look with some edge.
Key Buy:
If you don't already have a check-print dress in your wardrobe, look no further than this one.
25. SIMPLE DRESS + HIGH-TOP TRAINERS
Style Notes: I'm all about those easy outfit wins when it comes to dressing. I want to look cool and chic, and no look ticks those boxes quite like this one does.
Key Buy:
26. CUT-OUT TOP + HIGH-WAISTED JEANS
Style Notes: One of the quickest ways to update your look is with a fun cut-out top, and a bright red or classic black style is ideal for cocktail hour.
Key Buy:
27. DENIM JACKET + CHINOS
Style Notes: Denim jackets are still all the rage this season. Make like Rachael Keegan, and elevate yours with chinos and fisherman sandals (with socks for now).
Key Buy:
28. QUILTED JACKET + STRIGHT-LEG JEANS
Style Notes: Here's one easy way to give an outfit a cool edge—add a quilted jacket. A quilted jacket will be one of the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe. Add a white tee underneath and straight-leg jeans for an instant win.
Key Buy:
29. RETRO MINI DRESS + SILK HEADSCARF
Style Notes: It's the kind of timeless combination you could easily overlook, but you'll never be let down by a vintage-inspired dress and matching silk scarf. Make like Candice and opt for an uplifting palette.
