We’ve found that it’s handy to have a few go-to outfit formulas in the back of your mind to pull out when you’re short on time and need something that’s easy, presentable, and still fashion-forward. To that point, we’re showcasing five simple looks right here to consider when you’re just having one of those mornings. Keep scrolling for more and de-stress that a.m. life a bit.
While this look may seem high-concept due to the color-blocking, this ’fit actually requires minimal pieces—a colorful cardigan, a coordinating silk skirt, flats, and you’re set.
You can’t deny the power of a crisp white shirt. Here, it’s all about pairing it with your favorite pair of printed pants and adding a sweater around your waist for good measure.
If it’s a denim outfit you need, consider this look featuring skinny jeans, a graphic tee, statement boots, and a blazer to keep the overall vibe polished.
For an easy yet forward ’fit, toss on a jumpsuit with a pair of boots. One and done.
Go for an effortless and sophisticated vibe by pairing a knee-length full skirt with a blouse buttoned all the way up, complete with knee-length boots and a box bag.
