My Favorite Winter Outfits Comprise These 3 Simple Pieces
If I were to define my style in a few words, simple would definitely rank pretty high up there. While I’m all about a bold look from time to time (and I love statement-making accessories), I tend to build many of my go-to looks around low-key pieces and basics. On that note, there’s one specific outfit formula I’ve been gravitating towards that involves just three of my favorite simple pieces (not including accessories). And yes, I’ve seen many fashion people post ensembles with similar items as well.
The outfit in question? An easy ensemble featuring a longline coat, simple knit or tee, and blue jeans. There’s something so effortless and chic about said pairing. I also think a longer outerwear piece always brings a polished feel to a look.
Keep scrolling to check out how various style setters are styling these three pieces, and shop inspired picks if you’re interested in testing out the look.
