I'm Telling Everyone I Know to Try These Easy Spring 2021 Outfit Ideas

by Bobby Schuessler

Given my role as a fashion editor, my friends and family often routinely hit me up for style guidance each season. Recently, one of my friends asked if there was a simple yet chic outfit idea she should try this season. She specifically said, “I want something fashion-y, but easy—something that your most stylish colleagues would even wear.” I had a few ideas for her based on some of my recent IG outfit research.

Naturally, I wanted to share the top outfit idea with you (the first one below), along with a range of other ensembles that I plan on telling everyone I know to try if they ask for recommendations. All in all, the looks in question are all quite simple in nature, but have that fashion-forward twist as well. They’re also primarily made up of basics and just a few of those trendy items. Intrigued? Keep scrolling for more—you may just find a new spring uniform with what’s coming your way.

This is the first look I recommended to my friend—it's simple yet effortlessly chic. Wearing a cardigan as a top is trendy with bootcut or slightly flared jeans. Sneakers complete the silhouette.

Need a comfy yet polished vibe? Try a slouchy blazer with a basic top and trendy split-hem leggings.

A white T-shirt is always no-fail. Consider teaming your favorite style with a pair of forward leather trousers. A sweater wrapped around your shoulders brings even more dimension to the look.
