The Easy-Yet-Elevated Outfit Formula Fashion People Will Be Wearing Straight Into Fall
If my past outfit formula stories haven't made it clear, I am forever loyal to low-lift looks that don't sacrifice style. Whenever I come across one that fits the bill, I make sure I file it in my ever-growing inspiration folder. Enter this easy and elevated outfit that has caught my eye lately on a variety of fashion influencers. The effortless look requires five key pieces: a white button-down shirt, a basic white tee or tank top, a black belt, tan pants (in a variety of fabrics and styles), and black shoes.
This outfit combination is incredibly easy to pull off, looks sophisticated, and can be dressed up or down with ease, making it suitable for a variety of occasions. With a quick change into the appropriate shoe style, it suits a range of occasions. Plus, it makes for a great transitional look since you can wear it through summer straight into fall.
