8 Easy Outfits To Wear When You Don’t Want To Get Dressed

Try for minimal effort, maximum polish …

Let’s face it: this part of the year isn’t exactly a time when we’re overflowing with creative outfit ideas. The glamour of Christmas has disappeared into the rearview mirror, and it’s too cold/dark/lacklustre to kickstart any of your spring looks. However, there is a knack to dressing casually and looking good. The looks below ooze an undone kind of polish. Take note.

Don’t bow to the slouchy top/skinny trousers rule – this oversized knit combined with loose, straight-leg jeans looks comfy and chic as hell.

There’s a shortcut to looking dressed up even when you’re not – a blazer (make it herringbone or leather for instant polish). Tip: layer the lapels over your coat, as seen on Anouk Yve in the post above.

Gentle reminder: do not underestimate the power of a good scarf. As well as keeping you super-warm, the right scarf can actually become the focal point of your entire look.

Too tired/bored/asleep to think of colour combinations? Simple: go tonal. Planning your outfit around one key colour (and a few variant hues) leaves you with less time to worry about colour co-ordination and more time with the snooze button.

We may no longer be in lockdown, but the trick of Zoom dressing (that is, channelling all of your energy into the top half of your outfit) lives on. Go for a statement collar or a high-drama belle sleeve on a top: you’ll instantly feel a bit more done.

The addition of a gold hoop will instantly elevate any outfit. Knot your hair into a pony or a loose bun to show it off.

The best modern mixers blend high-end pieces – such as a Chanel-style bouclé jacket – with dressed down, casual staples. We love this high-low combination.

Yes, there is a chic way to do overalls. See Pernille Teisbaek as the authority on this topic.
