These 5 Low-Key Outfits Are Flawless, and Each Piece Is Under $75
If there was one word or phrase to describe my personal style beyond classic and fashion-forward, it would be low-key. Effortless looks with a subtle injection of the latest trends will forever be my comfort zone. It’s for that very reason, when I’m seeking out fresh outfit inspiration on Instagram, I keep an eye out for looks that are understated while still managing to have a cool factor. And I can’t help but want to recreate every outfit from my most recent roundup.
Nothing makes me exude confidence more than a no-fuss outfit that feels next-level. The key to finding this balance is all in the styling. Boost an outfit created with all elevated basics like a simple sweater dress or a white button-down with the help of a one-off trendy piece like a vibrant mini bag or a standout leather jacket. Less is definitely more in this case without sacrificing style. Scroll on to see five outfits that are the epitome of flawless, low-key vibes.
