outfit-ideas

Often when a celebrity causes chaos with an outfit that everyone wants to copy immediately (just like that Kendall Jenner wide-leg trousers and white shirt look, for example), it’s because it’s trend-free. A classic, effortless ensemble that can be easily recreated by us non-A-listers.  Sometimes you just want to keep it simple and fuss-free, and celebs clearly feel the same, as there are lots of trend-free celeb outfit examples out there in addition to Jenner. But as a disclaimer, we agree that some of the outfits below contain some trendy elements (like Meghan Markle‘s boucle jacket), but you can easily swap those items out for something even more simple. Scroll on for everything you need to create eight easy, trend-free outfits. You Deserve to Make Money Even When...

The popularity of a trouser suit is no surprise given that it’s basically an outfit all-in-one. It serves the same throw-on function as a dress when you want an easy, chic option you don’t have to think about. And let’s not underestimate the added confidence boost a two-piece provides. Whether you’re heading to the office, a wedding, date night or even a relaxed weekend brunch, suits are great for all occasions, and since they’re so versatile, they can be styled accordingly with a simple change of layers and accessories. Simplicity will always win, though, and a white shirt, silk cami, ribbed vest or simple T-shirt is all you need to make a suit work, especially in the warmer months.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When ...

It just works for so many occasions at the moment. The jeans don’t give you the same tights-or-no-tights dilemma as a midi dress does, and the sandals say “I’m ready for spring.” But the best part is that you can mix it up within the jeans and sandals categories and create so many different looks with this simple combo. Then, just add a top that works for whatever you’re doing that day. Whether you opt for baggy jeans, platform sandals and a tank top or straight-leg jeans, leather slides and a pretty top, you probably already own the pieces you need to make a great jeans-and-sandal outfit.  Sometimes the hardest part of getting dressed is finding inspiration for outfit combinations, even with an easy pairing like jeans and sandals. And since I’ve been leaning ...

When a high-street item starts garnering a certain amount of hype, it seriously piques our interest here at Who What Wear. That’s what happened recently, anyway, when word got around about how great H&M’s wide-leg trousers were. Last year, we sold over 1000 pairs through the site, and after delving deeper, we realised that most styles were consistently receiving incredible reviews online. So of course, we had to see how good they were for ourselves.  I was tasked with trying on as many pairs as I could get my hands on (harder than it sounds when they fly out of stock as quickly as they do) to see whether they lived up to expectations and to figure out which styles, in particular, were worth spending money on. Turns out those reviewers weren’t wrong, and there w...

Ahh the humble button-down shirt. Possibly the most versatile wardrobe staple you can buy, aside from maybe classic blue jeans. What a shirt does that jeans don’t, however, is make any outfit you pair it with look polished. Hands down, a classic shirt is the easiest basic you can buy to elevate your wardrobe, and every good capsule should include one.  When I say versatile, I mean it. Whether you opt for a crisp poplin, classic oxford, silk or linen style— there are countless different ways to style a shirt. Tuck it in, button it up and layer it under a knit in winter, and in summer it even works unbuttoned as a beach cover up. But I think a shirt truly comes into its own in spring. It’s the perfect layer thrown over a ribbed vest and leggings and trainers for a weekend or alone ...

What is it about easy outfit ideas that makes them just so hard to come by? Perhaps it’s when we get swayed by trends or simply have too many options in a bursting wardrobe to think clearly. (See our ways to clear out a wardrobe if you’re really struggling on this point.) Either way, we all have those days when getting dressed is a chore. And right now calls for the easiest outfits to avoid a sweat-inducing panic before the day even begins. You know, the low-maintenance dresses that only require well-chosen boots to be complete. Or the throw-on two-piece that is comfortable to wear and effortlessly versatile with an accessory switch. Although these pieces need little introduction, each season, there are new recipes for success when it comes to...

Why is it that the older you get, the less time you seem to have to do, well, just about anything? I swear, in my twenties, I spent a good hour getting ready in the mornings, painting on my makeup with the precision of a master artist and pouring a considerable amount of effort into selecting the perfect shoe to match my handbag (which, yes, I’d change between days). Now, I’m all about simple solutions that make my life easier and don’t require more than a few minutes to complete. Like my beauty routine, which I’ve pared right back, I’ve also adopted new dressing habits—and I’m all about effortless combinations that look anything but. Pieces that you can throw together and know are going to look polished. My favourite such pairing? Blazers and ...

You may or may not have heard, but biker jackets are a huge trend for spring/summer 2022. Last time around, we saw the likes of Alexa Chung, Jameela Jamil and Peaches Geldof rocking theirs with minidresses and fedora hats—it was a simpler time. This time around, however, we’re seeing designers like Prada and Acne Studios showcase styles that are slightly more unique and rough around the edges—a bit like me.  My go-to at the moment is a vintage mens biker I found in a charity shop last summer. I’d highly recommend checking your local charity shops, eBay, Depop, or anywhere else you can shop preloved to find your own unique piece. I’ve found a great alternative below, but I can guarantee there are thousands of preloved biker jackets just waiting to be scooped up! You Deserve t...

Every time spring comes along, I get so tempted by all the joyful prints, colours and ruffles on offer. In an alternative world, my wardrobe would be full of them. The problem is, I’m very much a minimalist dresser at heart— and although I love bright, bold looks on other people, over the decade I’ve worked in fashion, I’ve learnt that what makes me feel most confident and myself is a pared-back capsule full of classics that all work together effortlessly.  As you’d expect, then, my wardrobe is full of pieces like button down shirts, blue jeans, relaxed tailoring, simple dresses, t-shirts and knits that I layer up or down depending on the season. By their very nature everything pretty much goes together, but it doesn’t stop me feeling a little uninspired at the beginning of each ...

I’m probably not quite as busy as Jennifer Lopez, but not relatively speaking, I do consider myself to be pretty busy. And something that I never seem to be able to carve out time for is picking out outfits, even though it’s one of my favourite things to do. I usually wait until the very last minute to get dressed. Sometimes, I think about what I’m going to wear in advance, and sometimes, I don’t. My point is that I require easy outfit ideas in life that I can reach for when I have zero time to deliberate, and I’ll look for that easy outfit inspiration anywhere. This time, J.Lo provided it. While out in L.A. with fiancé(!) Ben Affleck this week, Lopez wore a simple two-piece outfit consisting of a white T-shirt and black overalls (specifically, ...
