A closet full of clothes and nothing to wear? I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been staring blankly at my closet with complete disinterest. Perhaps it’s because after months of staying home wearing the same sweatpant outfits on repeat, my ability to get sartorially motivated has dipped to an all-time low. Plus, half of my closet suddenly feels way too “dressed up” for a day at home on the computer.
In order to resolve this, I’ve been scrolling, searching, and saving a myriad of cool summer outfit ideas that are quick, easy, and strikingly simple—many of which are made up of similar pieces that I already have hanging in my closet. If you too find yourself in a style rut, scroll below as I share some of my favorite easy and chic summer outfit formulas that will take your basics to a new level of chic and will be your saviora on those days when you’re staring in bewilderment into the abyss of your closet.
