Yep, I have unabashedly simple style, but I like to think that when done right, simple can be the complete opposite of boring. Actually, I know it. Sure, I love my statement pieces here and there, but when it comes to day-to-day dressing, what I really love is a no-frills look that’s put together perfectly from head to toe—turning a bunch of basic essentials into an inexplicably eye-catching outfit.
I know this sounds hard to achieve, but if you look in the right places, there’s actually plenty of inspiration in the celebrity, street style, and Instagram spheres. Luckily, though, you don’t even have to do that because I’ve rounded up the best outfit ideas here for you today. To see the nine stylish ’fits I’ll be re-creating for the remainder of summer and, of course, shop them for yourself, just keep scrolling.
