If I'm Recommending One Simple Outfit, It's This Jeans, Sweater and Shoe Combo

There are a few easy outfit formulas I personally wear and also recommend to others when they're looking for ideas, and a blazer paired with jeans and a simple top is one of the said ensembles. But, the other front-runner that I'm basically living in right now is a pair of relaxed jeans, a grey sweater in a roomier cut, with a pair of flat shoes. While it's inherently simple, there's also something chic and effortless about this specific pairing.

With that in mind, I've scoped the net for some stylish inspo, and found plenty of fashion people in this tried and tested ensemble to showcase the appeal of the outfit formula, and with plenty of different flat shoe options. Keep scrolling for more on the no-fuss look, complete with a shoppable edit of standout jeans, sweaters, and flats (that's sneakers, boots, loafers, and ballet flats) if you want to add one or all of the items to your 2024 offering.

2. Relaxed Jumper + Jeans + Loafers

Style Notes: It may seem deceptively simple, but the sweater half-tucked into jeans is effortlessly-chic, and the polished loafers complete this vibe. And, while it's still cold, I'll be swapping a crew neck for a slouchy turtleneck instead.

4. Neutral Jumper + Jeans + Ballet Flats

Style Notes: Easy ballet flats bring an extra modern and pretty element to the grey-sweater–and-jeans look, so why not try an oversized v-neck you wear over a white tee, or a bouclé jacket for a nod to French styling. Trés chic.

5. Fitted Jumper + Jeans + Colourful Trainers

Style Notes: Yes, this longline coat adds one more chic element to the easy outfit with the sweater and jeans, but it's the colour pop sneakers that really lift the look.
