Read on for an easy refresh that just might shave minutes off your morning routine.
1Stick To The Basics
You can never have too many white button-downs. Just simply grab one and style it with whatever bottoms you own to instantly make an elevated outfit come to life.
2Pair Denim With Leather
A pair of straight-leg jeans and a trusted leather jacket are wardrobe necessities when the temps are a bit cooler in the beginning of spring. Wear them together for an edgy and laid-back look.
3Try Cutouts
This year, cutouts have made a comeback. Ease into the trend by wearing a neutral-colored dress with minimal slits.
4Make It Silky
A tank top, T-shirt, or jacket will feel more sophisticated when paired with a floor-length silk skirt.
5Max Out On Prints
Styling clashing prints together can look surprisingly cool, just stick to a similar color palette to keep the look from becoming overwhelming.
6Go For Matching Knits
If you want a quick and comfortable outfit, opt for a matching set.
7Style Sneakers With A Bold Dress
Let your dress get the attention it deserves by styling it with a pair of laid-back chunky sneakers.
8Break Out Your Best Whites
Wearing white head to toe is an easy look that feels purposeful without skewing stuffy.
9Elevate A Casual Look With Loafers
For on-the-go moments, opt for a pair of loafers rather than sneakers or slides to elevate a daytime outfit.
10Break Out Your Sleepwear
If you have yet to try pajama dressing, prepare to fall head over heels. It's comfortable and chic all at once.
11Leave Your Bottoms At Home
Show off your legs by styling an oversized blazer as a dress. Complete the look with a pair of short-shorts and pumps.
12Finish A Look With A Pair of Tights
Tights are an easy way to elevate a mini dress and add a bit of warmth.
13Embrace Quirky Accessories
Though a bucket hat may not be office appropriate, consider a funky topper as a cool way to upgrade your weekend look.
14Add A Pop Of a Color With A Shoe
Neutrals are a trend to try, but consider adding a small pop of color via a shoe for a bit of intrigue.
15Carry A Straw Bag
A no-fuss way to make an ensemble feel instantly springy: add a straw bag.
16Belt It Out
A maxi dress, jacket, or even shorts and T-shirt combo can feel totally different when you add a belt.
17Try It Cropped
For those funny in between days, forgo your oversized sweater for something cropped.
18Contrast High & Low
While over-the-knee boots may be usually reserved for styling with jeans, consider pairing them with a miniskirt or shorter dress.
19Mix Your Suiting
Break up suiting by stying contrasting tops and bottoms.
20Style Flats With Statement Socks
Revamp your footwear by wearing cool socks with your flats.
21Add A Bold Bag
A fun beaded bag is an easy way to spruce up a look.
22Swap A Heavy Coat For A PVC Style
As things start to warm up, leave your heavy wool coat at home for something lighter instead.
23Try A Colorful Tee
A white tee is forever a wardrobe staple, but consider swapping for a colorful take instead.
24Tackle Creative Layering
Are you ready to breathe new life into an LBD? If yes, style a bold top underneath.
25Go Bold
Head to toe color can be intimidating, but stay in the same family of hues and it’s surprisingly easy to throw something together.
26Test Out Something Sheer
A great way to ease into wearing see-through styles is by using them as a simple base layer.
