What is it about easy outfit ideas that makes them just so hard to come by? Perhaps it’s when we get swayed by trends or simply have too many options in a bursting wardrobe to think clearly. (See our ways to clear out a wardrobe if you’re really struggling on this point.) Either way, we all have those days when getting dressed is a chore. And right now calls for the easiest outfits to avoid a sweat-inducing panic before the day even begins. You know, the low-maintenance dresses that only require well-chosen shoes to be complete. Or the throw-on two-piece that is comfortable to wear and effortlessly versatile with an accessory switch. Although these pieces need little introduction, each season, there are new recipes for success when it comes to creating the perfect look.
So rather than getting in a tizzy, our team has decided to compile a list of easy outfit ideas for us to all reference in the future—and we’d very much like to share them with you. They are the foolproof looks that work without being too much of a challenge or causing morning hysteria.
The next time you’re entirely bored of your wardrobe, just revisit the looks below and see what you’ve got to play with. Should your rails be lacking in a particular area and you’d like to remedy it, we’ve also found the perfect shopping options to re-create these influencer-approved outfits. Because we’re all about making your life easier.

This classic style looks so chic with the matching shorts.
Style Notes: Relaxed shirts are a spring style staple, but if yours are beginning to feel fatigued, the addition of trending wide-leg denim will give them some pizzazz.
The easiest way to look instantly put-together.

You’ll get so much wear out of this versatile midi.

The back of this waistcoat is seriously good.

Our editors constantly rave about this dress.

You’ll wear these a thousand times—this season alone.
Style Notes: As soon as the sun comes out, grab your nearest pair of shorts and style them with a casual button-down. Easy peasy.
You’ll bring these back out every year.
Style Notes: Overalls are continuing to trend this year, and I’ve noticed more and more fashion types wearing ecru iterations. A small update that packs a big style hit.
This style looks on-point layered over just about anything.
Style Notes: Denim on denim is often overlooked, but it’s a year-round staple that requires little to no styling to look pulled-together.

Style Notes: Short-sleeve tops are the cornerstone of every good spring wardrobe, but if your classic blue jeans aren’t hitting the style mark, switch in a cargo pant for extra fashion points.
Perfect for a casual summer day.
Style Notes: Gingham dresses keep cropping up on the ’gram now that we’re heading into summer. Wear yours with a bomber jacket like Anne-Victoire for a look with some edge.
If you don’t already have a gingham dress in your wardrobe, look no further than this one.
Style Notes: For an evening out, there’s no classier combination than a floaty white blouse and dark-wash jeans. Plus a read lip, of course.
This one is bound to sell out fast.

Don’t be afraid to keep things super simple.
Style Notes: With a statement skirt in the mix, you can put little effort into the rest of your outfit and rest assured that it will still look on point.
