15 "Boring" Fall Outfits That Look Ultra Expensive
It sounds contradictory, but sometimes it's the simple (often called "boring") outfits that are the chicest. There's something about clean, minimalist outfits that I've always been drawn to because they always look expensive. Think about it. Is there anything more effortlessly cool than the combo of a really good pair of jeans and a T-shirt? Exactly.
This fall, in particular, I've found myself saving outfit after outfit with one thing in common: a neutral color palette. If you take a look in my Instagram Saved collections right now, you'll notice a sea of white, black, brown, and various shades of beige. My entire feed seems to be flooded with outfits that you can easily re-create on a budget. The key is to stick with a totally neutral color palette, and your look is guaranteed to feel luxe. If you don't believe me, simply keep scrolling to see a highlight reel of my 15 favorite expensive-looking fall outfits that are all made up of neutral pieces, and prepare to be converted.
Pair trending long, tailored shorts with a cozy knit sweater in similar tonal hues.
Ideal for autumm, a neutral trench adds instant French-girl polish to your look.
High-waisted wide-leg pants in a neutral hue always looks so sophisticated.
A white shirtdress looks all the chicer when paired with a statement black belt.
Overalls look even more charming when paired with a vintage-inspired collared blouse.
