Figuring out what to wear for a special occasion is usually easier because you plan ahead. But what about your daily outfits? This article offers tips on putting together stylish, everyday ensembles effortlessly.
Why Everyday Outfits Can Be Tricky
It’s easy to fall into the habit of wearing the same things every day without planning. This can make your style feel stale and uninspired. Creating an “everyday capsule” wardrobe can simplify your choices while keeping your style fresh.
I’ve curated a capsule collection featuring clothes, shoes, and accessories from Nordstrom Made brands, which are known for their good quality and affordability. These pieces will help you create numerous, stylish daily outfits with minimal effort.
Everyday Tops
For your go-to tops, you likely have at least one t-shirt and a button-down shirt. This season, we love the layered look that includes a shirt under a knit vest. Adding a versatile top like a wrap top can easily transition your outfit from casual to dressy.
Everyday Outfits Sweaters
As the weather cools down, you’ll need some cozy sweaters. This season’s trends include knit vests and off-the-shoulder styles. Pink is also popular and can brighten up any gloomy day.
Jackets
For outerwear, a denim jacket and an athletic wrap jacket are great for casual looks. For a more formal touch, consider a blazer or a trench coat, especially one with a trendy plaid print.
Jeans And Pants
You’ll probably wear more pants as it gets colder. Wide-leg pants are trendy and versatile, suitable for both day and evening looks. However, skinny jeans are still handy for tucking into boots.
Dresses And Skirts
Sweater dresses and skirts in trendy colors like olive green and bright pink are in fashion. These can easily be dressed up or down with the right footwear and accessories.
Shoes And Boots
For footwear, booties are great for transitional weather. Opt for both flat and heeled pairs. Sneakers are versatile for dressing down skirts and dresses, and knee-high or over-the-knee boots work well over skinny jeans and leggings or under skirts and dresses.
Accessories
Even casual outfits can benefit from stylish accessories. Think about adding a statement hat or a colorful scarf. A statement necklace or hoop earrings can elevate simple outfits, while a practical yet stylish bag is essential for everyday needs.
Putting It All Together
Now that you have the clothing, shoes, and accessories, how do you combine them? Here are some ideas to get you started. You can mix and match to create countless combinations. For example, a pink sweater looks great with plaid pants, and a white shirt is versatile enough to go with anything. You can even wear an olive green dress over skinny jeans.
