Sydney Sweeney Wore the Jeans-and-Tee Combo That I Can't Wait to Copy
Sydney Sweeney ticks off trends with the best of them, from tweed miniskirt sets to the latest viral Uggs. But if you ask me, the Euphoria star's most enviable looks aren't her buzziest ones. Rather, I'm far more invested in the anti-trend ensembles she's known to put together. And her latest trend-free outfit is right up there at the top of my list of all-time favorites.
Following her return home from Coachella, Sweeney was spotted in Los Angeles looking effortless and casual, donning the kind of low-key outfit you can wear again and again this time of year without ever getting tired of it. Specifically, she paired a fitted tee with a belted pair of classic Levi's 501 jeans, platform high-top Converse, and the Saint Laurent Icare tote that's about to be everywhere. (It's already gotten Zoë Kravitz's stamp of approval.) Between the high-low price point and the timeless appeal, Sweeney's off-duty ensemble is about as perfect as it gets—without a trend in sight.
Keep scrolling for easy access to Sweeney's easily copiable anti-trend look as well as plenty more buy-worthy alternatives.
On Sydney Sweeney: Levi's 501 Straight ($90); Converse Run Star Hike Sneaker ($110); Saint Laurent Icare Maxi Shopping Bag ($3990)
It doesn't get more classic than a pair of 501 Levi's. Plus, you can't beat that price.
I'm calling it: This is going to be *the* tote bag of the year. Get one now while you still can.

Kim Kardashian knew what she was doing when she designed these super-soft Skims tees.

This tote is shockingly beautiful. Like, my jaw is on the floor.
A far cheaper alternative to Sweeney's Saint Laurent bag.
