Tip # 1: Add a Little Prep
Give your favorite vintage band tee a little love by updating the look with bike shorts and a blazer. Choose comfy high-waisted bike shorts and a blazer in an oversized fit for a laid-back style, then finish the look with Oxfords and a sling bag.
Add even more prep to your step by draping a sweater over your shoulders.
Tip # 2: Go Monochromatic
Update the look of your fave black mock neck t-shirt (a.k.a. your staple layering tee) by wearing it with a button-up corduroy mini skirt and an oversized varsity jacket, plus Chelsea boots and sunglasses.
Keep the top, skirt, and accessories in the same neutral palette for a cool monochromatic vibe.
Tip # 3: Use Color & Prints
Create a chill look with the most universal piece in your wardrobe – classic blue jeans. Pick a light wash jean in your fave fit (Mom and ’90s jeans for a throwback vibe, or jeggings for a feel-good fit that goes with anything), then brighten it up with some subdued blues and whites made for fall.
Complete the look with white Doc Martens and an oversized plaid shacket for a casual yet comfy outfit you’ll love.
