Why Your Simple Outfits Don't Look Cool (And How To Fix It)

Why your simple outfit doesn't feel this cool when you put it on first, you might be buying the wrong basics.

Why your simple outfit doesn't feel this cool when you put it on first, you might be buying the wrong basics. So let's take an example. With these shoes, you might think, let me just grab a black flat shoe, and you go for something like this that has a really thick strap that covers most of the top of your foot. With a shoe like this, your outfit does not breathe the way hers does. Instead, when you show some skin at the top of the foot with a sandal like this that is barely there, you're going to get more of that effortless, easy vibe. Second is that your outfit has no ease to it. This outfit has the same fundamentals. White T shirt, jeans, black accessories. But it lacks that effortlessness that we want because nothing in it feels relaxed or warm. With her outfit, the jeans look like she just threw them on walking out the door. She didn't have to shimmy in them. And the T shirt is perfectly boxy. If you want to achieve this vibe, you're probably going to have to let go of the idea that tight means flattering. That's not always the case. The third piece is that you're not contrasting that ease once you achieve it with something edgy and modern. She has this really relaxed outfit, but then a very structured bag and some super sleek sunnies that really complete the outfit.
