J.Law's Skirt Choice Just Made Her Boxy T-Shirt Look Elegant in Ways Leggings Never Could
On paper, this outfit doesn't work. In reality, it's one of the chicest looks I've seen this season.

If you’ve spent the past few days dashing around the city, you’ll know the humidity has been unforgiving. Getting dressed in the morning has evolved into a mission to stay cool for as long as possible. Right now, anything skin-hugging is out of the question. But all is not lost; Jennifer Lawrence brought me a new styling formula that doesn't compromise on chic, even when the air feels thick enough to swim through.
She started with the basics—as all the best late-summer outfits do—opting for an oversized graphic tee as the foundation. Cool, breathable and easy, Lawrence's outfit was off to a wearable start. Now, whilst it would have been easy to lean into comfort and reach for comfortable leggings or slouchy jeans, instead, Lawrence completed her look with an elegant lace-trim slip skirt.
It’s not the first combination that springs to mind when you think “oversized T-shirt,” but it might just be the smartest. The fluid, swishy fabric of a slip skirt grazes the body rather than clings, making it more forgiving in high heat. Comfort-wise, it’s up there with leggings, but the payoff in polish is worlds apart. The lace trim added a feminine touch that instantly elevated the casual tee whilst nodding to one of the season's most favoured motifs.
