Don't Overthink Your Next Outfit—Just Throw On This Basic to Elevate Your Jeans
Basics are the unsung heroes of our closets. We don’t give them enough love, but they are the pieces we reach for often. Not everything we wear has to be ultra trendy, and the outfit the ultimate style expert, Rihanna, just wore to run errands in Beverly Hills proves that notion.
Rihanna wore her Alexander Wang baggy jeans and a tank top with a basic that instantly elevated her outfit: a blazer. She added a pair of sunglasses and a few layered gold necklaces to accessorize. While blazers may seem too dressy for a casual outing, they’re actually perfect for day-to-night dressing. They're versatile pieces that, in my humble opinion, are equal parts dressy and casual. What I love about RiRi's look is that each piece is easy to find in one's existing wardrobe.
If you’re not trying to overthink you’re next outfit and just want to keep things simple, keep scrolling to shop blazers and baggy jeans to wear with them
On Rihanna: Alexander Wang Cargo Pants ($585)
