When I’m creating my version of the "perfect outfit,” the end goal is something that’s chic and also comfortable. Typically, that consists of my uniform of jeans, a tee, and some sort of statement third piece like a jacket or a sweater. But after scrolling through my saved photos on Instagram, there’s actually a few other comfortable summer outfits I want to try and/or also recommend to my inner circle at some point as well.
Intrigued? Keep scrolling to uncover eight comfy outfit formulas that you may just want to introduce into your weekly rotation this season. I'm talking about looks featuring bike shorts and oversized blouses, denim-on-denim vibes, ensembles with flowy trousers, outfits with adorable cardigans and skirts, and so on. Oh, and if something specific catches your eye, you’ll also find inspired shopping picks for each of the ensembles in question. Trust, there's bound to be something for every style ahead.
It doesn't get more classic (and comfy) than an on-trend tank and relaxed jeans combo.
A denim on denim vibe is fresh and honestly timeless.
This is one comfy look I'm recommending to all of my friends with the flowy skirt and trendy lightweight cardigan.
A crewneck sweatshirt teamed with straight-leg jeans is laid-back yet streamlined.
A comfortable statement look with the slouchy white shirt and bike shorts.
For a polished, no-fuss vibe, an oversized blazer on top of a white tee and jeans works great.
While just about any trouser color would work here, the vibrant pair feels just right.
Slightly chilly? Don't underestimate the power of a cozy knit tucked into cool white jeans.
