@_jessicaskyeIt always surprises me that some of the best Italian meals I've eaten are made up of just two or three simple ingredients. "What's in this cacio e pepe?" I asked during a recent trip to Rome. "Pecorino Romano, black pepper, and spaghetti," the waiter told me. "Wow, that's cool," I responded. And it is cool. It's cool that the most delicious meal I've ever eaten was so incredibly uncomplicated. And when it comes to summer outfits there's no reason they can't be this simple and altogether spectacular too.
I've been applying this pared-back formula to my warm-weather ensembles—leaning into looks that don't take too long to put together but exude an effortlessly chic aesthetic. So today, I'm showing you six stylish outfits that feature a mix of elevated basics and trend-forward items that are made up of three or four easy pieces. The best part? You can buy every item at our favorite trusty retailer, Nordstrom. Keep scrolling for plenty of simple yet striking summer outfits.
