5 Simple Outfit Ideas I'm Recommending to Everyone in 2025

I follow a few criteria when putting together a chic day-to-day outfit. Above all, it has to be fuss-free. Trust me—easy and simple looks can be as fashionable as high-concept ensembles when you opt for modern cuts and silhouettes.
Below, I rounded up five outfit ideas to consider if you're on the hunt for a few go-to looks this year. These are the ensembles I recommend to my friends and family when they ask for chic and easy looks. Keep scrolling for more along with inspired shopping recommendations for each outfit.
It doesn't get any more effortless than this look featuring the relaxed sweater (love the deeper neckline), white jeans or trousers, and loafers.
A white button-down shirt is a wardrobe staple. Therefore, it's always chic. Consider teaming your go-to pick with black trousers and a cool scarf for that forward twist. Booties and a fun bag complete the look.
A denim-on-denim ensemble is easy. I love the idea of adding in a suede jacket for a layering element.
Basically, every fashion person wears some variation of this outfit—a button-down shirt, a blazer, and jeans. Done and done.
A trench coat is one of those special pieces that will make any look feel instantly more polished and elegant. Wear one with a simple sweater and jeans, and you're set.
