5 "Thoughtful" Outfits That Won't Take Forever to Put Together
We all usually share one common goal when getting dressed: to ultimately look put together. Yes? Thought so. That said, sometimes crafting that polished yet cool outfit is easier said that done—especially when you’re racing against the clock and don’t have an extra second to dream up a forward look.
But don’t let time constraints weight you down. It’s actually quite easy to come up with a thoughtful-looking (aka well-styled ensemble) if you just keep a few easy outfits in the back of your mind. Ahead, we’re showing five of these ’fits that won’t take forever to put together. Go on—you won’t want to forget these.
Dress + Jeans + Boots
Wearing a dress over jeans is seemingly high-concept, but basically takes no effort to put together. Incorporate a statement pair of boots to bring the look to the next level, and you're done.
Blazer + Turtleneck + Wide-leg Trousers + Sneakers
For a low-key yet polished vibe, grab your blazer, and pair it with a turtleneck, wide-leg trousers, and white sneakers for a chill feel.
Sweater + Printed Skirt + Anke Boots
Now, this is one ensemble you'll never want to forget, because it's so simple with just two pieces (minus the shoes, of course). Grab your colorful sweater and favorite printed skirt, put them together, and go. We'd suggest tucking in the knit slightly as well for a flattering look.
Graphic Tee + Skinnies + Cardigan + Flats
For an easy yet cool outfit, don't underestimate the power of skinny jeans and a graphic tee. The key here is to add a unique outer layer like a cropped cardigan to tie the entire look together.
Leather Jacket + White Tee + Printed Pants + Boots
While it may seem simple, adding a leather jacket to any look adds instant texture and sophistication. Try one with a white tee and printed pants, and you're all set.
