My Friend Wants Cool and Chic Outfit Ideas—I'm Suggesting These 5 Fashionable Looks

Many of us have a few uniforms we turn to repeatedly when getting dressed. I certainly do, and so does one of my dear friends. She messaged me recently for guidance on a few cool outfit ideas for switching up her typical ensembles. Per usual, I was up for the task and turned to my Saved folder on Instagram and screenshots of celebrity looks.
Below are five spring outfit ideas that are cool and chic for the season. While the looks are fashion-forward in my eyes, they are also easy because they don't take a lot of pieces to re-create. Keep scrolling for outfit inspiration, complete with shopping recommendations if you want to add a few new spring picks to your wardrobe.
A slip skirt (particularly with lace detail) is a must-have item among the fashion crowd this season. The beauty of this piece is that you can style it with easy items to create an impactful look. Go for a simple tee or lightweight knit, add sandals, and you're set.
My friend adores Kendall Jenner's effortlessly chic look. This ensemble is fantastic with the trench coat, which always elevates an outfit. The straight-leg jeans and chic shoes are also noteworthy here.
This is a sharp yet easy spring outfit idea, featuring a relaxed blazer and white skirt. The blazer as an alternative to a top feels fresh for the season.
I suggested the Brooks Nader outfit for a more casual idea. The wide-leg jeans (these are from her collab with Hudson) are a vibe teamed with a sweatshirt and baseball hat.
Talk about fashion-forward. A leather jacket or blazer, white tee, and trousers just always work.
