As an avid lurker on fashion TikTok, my feed usually consists of trend predictions, thrifting hauls, and a plethora of outfits of the day. Usually, I find myself looking at the same slew of fashion people based in New York City or Copenhagen. But sometimes, I discover someone with such impeccable style, someone who makes me immediately hit the follow button. That was the case with Larissa Mills, who went viral after her daughter began posting her mom's outfits, which everyone, including me, wanted more of. At 50 years old, Mills is living proof that trends and style have no age limit.
Mills's outfits usually consist of relaxed silhouettes, elevated basics, and various brands at high and low prices, from Cartier to Anthropologie. She has perfected effortless style, and I'm always taking notes once she posts her daily looks. Needless to say, she's always giving me a little more style inspiration, and I know she'll do the same for you. Keep scrolling to see the summer basics I'm prioritizing right now.
1. White Linen Trousers
2. Capped Toe Ballet Flats
I understand that for many, the traditional silhouette of a ballet flat is considered a classic. For me, it just took a few months of thought to ensure it would be something I regularly turn to in my closet rather than a passing trend.
3. Lightweight Vests
I've always gravitated toward pairing vests with their matching trousers in the fall, but Mills proves that they're just as versatile in the summer.
4. Sensible Sandals
I've spent too many days sacrificing comfort in the name of style. Thanks to designers also getting the memo, plenty of sensible summer sandals are on the market.
5. Voluminous Skirts
Slip skirts have always been my favorite go-to basic skirt, but I plan on switching things up with a more voluminous one like the style above.
6. Baggy Trousers
Ultra-baggy trousers are here to stay, and while I've experimented with slightly more relaxed pairs, I'm feeling even more inspired to add a few more loose ones to my wardrobe.
