The Easy Yet Elevated Outfit Formula Fashion People Will Be Wearing Straight Into Fall
If my past outfit formula stories haven't made it clear, I am forever loyal to low-lift looks that don't sacrifice style. Whenever I come across one that fits the bill, I make sure I file it in my ever-growing inspiration folder. Enter this easy yet elevated outfit that has caught my eye as of late on a variety of fashion people. The effortless look requires five key pieces: a white button-down shirt, a basic white tee or tank top, a black belt, tan pants (in a variety of fabrics and styles), and black shoes.
This outfit formula is super easy to pull off, looks sophisticated, is easy to dress up or down, and suits a variety of occasions with a quick change into the appropriate shoe style. Plus, it makes for a great transitional look since you can wear it through summer straight into fall. Keep scrolling to see and shop seven inspiring takes on this chic outfit formula on lovely women from London to NYC.
