Tops:
- A basic, solid color tank. We’re using our best-selling Z Supply Sloane V-Neck Tank (the perfect relaxed fit, slightly cropped tank for an easy, elevated look).
- A classic white button up. We chose our favorite Z Supply Kaili Gauze Button Up top. It’s light, airy + the perfect classic staple piece.
- A neutral printed blazer. Liverpool blazers are our go-to blazers for comfort + style, and they transition from day to night effortlessly.
Bottoms:
- A distressed straight leg jean. We went with our best-selling Just Black Denim mom jean. It’s the perfect light wash for the season + has an easy, relaxed fit.
- A clean leg kick flare jean. KUT is a fan favorite around here + their Kelsey Ankle Flare is always a go-to for any body. They're easy to dress up or down + have the perfect fit.
- A knit wide leg pant. Wide leg pants are here to stay + we love the effortless look they give. Dress them up or down + say hello to comfort AND style!
Shoes:
- A neutral slide sandal. These Sorel slide sandals are easy to slip on + go. PS, they’re also made with the most buttery soft leather for a comfortable fit.
- A neutral wedge sandal. We chose this off white wedge sandal by Sorel for an easy shoe option that can easily dress up any look.
- A neutral athleisure sneaker. The athleisure vibes are here to stay + we love that a sneaker adds a sporty look to any outfit. Perfect for the gal who is on-the-go!
