If you can’t figure out what to wear right now, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many of us are feeling the same way, especially since the New Year often gets us thinking about our wardrobe, fresh outfit inspo and ways in which we might be experimenting with our style. Plus, we’re all experiencing the post-Christmas slump, meaning getting up and dressed feels pretty tricky and the last thing I want to do is put on a dress or jeans. It’s during these times that I like to turn to my most reliable outfits, which help me look effortlessly chic and feel my best, no matter the weather.
When in doubt, simple and effective is my motto, and recently, the look I’ve been reaching for over and over is a classic blazer-and-legging combo. It’s comfy thanks to the leggings and polished thanks to the blazer—a piece that just so happens to also be the perfect transitional layer. So really, it’s a win-win, and the best part is that this pairing can be reimagined in so many different ways to keep it feeling fresh all January long.
Below, I’ve found six blazer-and-legging looks that feel especially current. They range from celebrity-inspired to influencer-approved, but they all involve minimalist (read: easy to style) formulas that you can throw on in the morning and still look as pulled-together in by the end of the day.
