When you want to look chic but don’t want to do the hard work of styling a whole look, a fashion formula is your best friend. These three are foolproof—and easy to pull off using at least a few pieces currently hanging in your closet.
SUIT VEST + TROUSERS
This pairing is as chic as it is timeless. What’s more, you can style each piece separately (the vest with off-duty denim, the trousers with a plain white tee) to get more bang for your buck.

SLIM TANK + SIMPLE BOTTOMS
Pair a close-fitting tank with a streamlined skirt or a pair of wide-leg pants for a polished look that comes together in minutes. Tip: A bodysuit also works nicely here and has the added benefit of staying tucked all day.

FEMININE TOP + COLUMN SKIRT
Start with a straight skirt and add your top of choice—say, a cropped tank that exposes a sliver of your midriff or a strapless top that puts your décolletage on display. Simple sandals and a logoless bag keep the focus on the silhouette.
