I'm always in need of more easy outfit formulas, especially the ones comprised of all of my favorite basics that take five minutes to put together. This spring and summer, I decided to start early and round up simple but elevated outfits to keep in my back pocket and revisit when I'm stumped on what to wear. On my hunt for the easiest but also chicest outfit ideas out there, I landed on six outfits that could work for so many different spring/summer occasions. I found the perfect low-key sophisticated outfit inspiration for happy hour with friends, summer vacations, going out to dinner, and the office.

Filing this under "outfits to wear out to dinner this spring and summer." I'd opt for an oversize jacket to balance out the skimpiness of the tank top.
