10 Outfit Formulas Every Woman Needs to Stop Overthinking Her Closet
We’ve all been there, standing in front of a closet full of clothes, sighing, “I have nothing to wear.” Girl, trust me, it’s not a lack of options. It’s the mental clutter of putting them together. That’s where outfit formulas come in. Think of them as your style cheat sheet: simple pairings that work every time, no matter the occasion.
These formulas are here to save you from the daily wardrobe spiral and remind you that you don’t need to drop $100 to feel good when you walk out the door. Around here, we’re about real confidence. One of the best ways to practice it is by learning to show up in what you already own.
1. White Tee + Straight Jeans + Jacket
The holy grail of chic. Swap a leather jacket for edge (my personal go-to) or a cozy cardigan when you want something softer.
2. Trousers + Tank + Belt
Effortless polish. Trousers make it chic, while the tank keeps it relaxed. Add sneakers for daytime or heeled boots for night.
3. Sweater + Jeans
The easiest formula in the book. Comfy enough for errands, cute enough for coffee with a friend. Swap sneakers for boots when you want to elevate it.
4. Oversized Sweater + Skirt + Boots
The perfect balance of cozy and feminine. Works with minis, midis, or maxis—layer tights underneath when it’s chilly.
5. Slip Dress + Sweater (or Jacket)
Two ways to wear it: layer a sweater on top for day or add a leather jacket for night. Simple, versatile, and always chic.
6. Athleisure Elevated: Leggings + Statement Outerwear+ Sneakers
Your “I want to be comfy but still look cute” formula. Adding a statement jacket keeps it intentional, not just gym clothes.
7. Monochrome Neutrals
Head-to-toe in one shade always looks sleek. Try all black, all beige, or all white—then add outerwear for dimension.
8. Midi Skirt + Turtleneck + Boots
Sophisticated with a little edge. A midi skirt balances the fitted turtleneck, and tall boots ground the look.
9. Denim on Denim
An instant classic. Pair different washes for contrast, or keep it tonal for a streamlined vibe.
10. Long Sleeve Tee + Jeans + Belt
Simple, chic, and reliable. The belt is the styling trick that ties it all together and keeps it from feeling too basic.
Outfit formulas are a lifesaver. They free you from overthinking, help you feel confident in what you already own, and make getting dressed simple. Because when you’re not stressing over your closet, you create more space for the good stuff…finding joy in the little things, being present with the people you love, and rocking confidence in things you already own. Outfit formulas may simplify your closet, but the real freedom is how they give you back energy for the moments that matter most. I hope this helps make getting dressed a little easier! My hope is that these ideas make your mornings feel a little lighter and remind you that style doesn’t have to be complicated. And if you try one of these formulas, I’d love to see how you make it your own. Send me a picture on Instagram so we can share the inspiration together.
