When it comes to fashion, many people often stress over trends. Trends, unfortunately, are disposable. Sure, they are exciting, but they rarely last for long. The classics, however, always look great. You can rely on them like you would on a trustworthy friend. Coming up with creative outfits daily is nothing short of a task. For some of us, it is a fun feat because they enjoy the process. For others, it can be downright dreadful. Regardless of the category, you fall in, and we have here a list of 8 outfit ideas that hit the spot every time. Fuss-free and straightforward, these outfits are lifesavers on a rainy day.

1. Color coordinate

Create a simple outfit with the help of color coordination. Pick two or three colors at max and create your ensemble around it. For instance, take a nice top you want to wear, like a mint green crew neck top. You can style it with a pair of blue jeans, white pants, or perhaps a printed number. Since the main piece of your Outfit is mint green, accessorize following it. Try to color coordinate the colors you have chosen to create a company that looks pulled together and chic anytime, anywhere. Regardless of the setting or the occasion, color coordination never fails.

2. Mix textures

The key to a memorable outfit is making sure that it is interesting. What makes an outfit interesting, you ask? Textures! A good outfit employs the use of different fabrics with varying textures to create an ensemble. Take a women’s leather jacket, for instance. You can keep it simple and style it with a pair of everyday jeans and a tee, or you could go the extra mile and create something truly spectacular. Style your jacket with a printed skirt, a silk blouse, and perhaps a knit scarf. One Outfit, an array of textures that make it enjoyable; such is the power of playing with different textures.

3. Go all out with color

Colors add life and personality to your look. They are bold, and they are ready to take center stage so let them have it. If you are unsure about what to wear and love colors, create a vibrant and colorful ensemble of complementing tones. Is your free hall pass; you have the freedom to do whatever you want; no rules apply. So, if you are feeling funky, have fun with it.

4. Wear a matching set

Matching sets are all the rave right now. They are easy to style, chic, and elegant. Moreover, they are perfect for an array of social settings. If you are feeling lazy, keep it simple in a matching set. Coordinate your pants and skirts with your tops and blouses. Have fun with it and play with different textures and fabrics to create fashionable looks. Be sure to accessorize because nothing makes a matching set pop like some god accessories.

5. Wear a blazer over a tee

Blazers are the best thing to happen to humankind. They are elegant, chic, and, frankly, perfect. You can wear them anywhere, they look great on everyone, and they are incredibly versatile. Need any more convincing? A combination that is often slept upon is that of blazers and tees. While some argue that blazers pair best with formal shirts, we beg to differ. A blazer paired with a tee is the ultimate amalgamation of casual and formal. It is pretty much the perfect Outfit that you can wear anywhere from work to casual hangouts. For more reserved settings, opt for a plain tee. If you are headed to an informal setting, have fun with graphic tees.

6. Go monochrome

Monochrome never disappoints. If you are ever in doubt about what to wear, play it safe and go monochrome. Pick a color and build your Outfit around it. Find different cuts, designs, and fits to curate your custom look. The best part about a monochrome outfit is its unique outlook because you can create a new outfit anytime. It is super easy to work with as it narrows down your choices and requires minimal effort.

7. Layer your Outfit

Layering is in, and it is here to stay. If you are new to the concept of layering, it is simply adding layers to your Outfit to create a unique look. It involves the use of contrasting cuts and designs to curate a customized look. Layering is very high fashion, so if you look to make an impression on others, try your hand at layering. Take a pair of jeans, for instance. You would typically wear it with a plaid shirt and matching shoes and head out, right? Well, you can try out something different like wearing a graphic tee, your plaid shirt on top unbuttoned, and top it off with a leather jacket on top. Voila! You just added two layers and changed up the garment arrangement to create a unique customized outfit. Now, isn’t that magic?

8. Play with proportions

If you want to keep your Outfit interesting, be sure to play with your proportions. Make sure to style contrasting cuts together, such as a baggy one with a skinny one, a short with a long one, soft fabric with something relatively stiffer, etc. Take a body-hugging turtleneck, for instance. Style it with something baggy like a bomber jacket or something elongated like a long coat to add variation to your look. Make sure also to wear pieces that complement your physique. Play to your strengths, and your Outfit will turn heads every single time.

– Parting thoughts

On some days, we look amazing, but on others, we do not look our best. Honestly, that is perfectly okay because we are humans, after all. You do not need to create a stellar runway-worthy outfit every day. The goal must be to look presentable; that is it. Comfort should always come first; work everything else around it. Try to work with garments that you feel like you look your best self in but do not shy away from venturing into unknown territory. The point is, they are just clothes; have fun with them. Fashion should be fun, so have a great time styling!
