10 Anti-Trend Outfit Ideas to Solve All Your Dressing Woes


As much fun as a bold and meticulously planned outfit can be, if your schedule looks anything like mine, there simply isn’t time to indulge in them as often as you’d like. Instead, easy, versatile ensembles get the most wear. But that doesn’t mean your clothes have to be boring. In fact, the dressers I admire most are just as reliant on minimalist, classic combinations as I am. And because of that, there’s a seemingly endless supply of inspiration out there that’s centered on anti-trend outfits that are easy, yes, but also chic and impressive at the same time.

Don’t believe me? I come bearing proof. Ahead, I’ve laid out a total of 10 timeless ensembles that work for pretty much any climate, location, or occasion (barring a black-tie affair or a true corporate office). There are super pared-back T-shirt and jeans combos, as well as dressier top-and-skirt pairings. Basically, any time you’re stumped about what to put on in a time crunch, just reference the list below. I’m willing to bet that from it, you’ll be able to find all the ingredients you need to whip up an outfit that checks off every box well within your allotted getting-dressed period. You’re welcome.
