7 Stylish 2021 Looks Made Up of Just the Classics
If you’re looking for some fresh outfit inspiration to potentially test out in 2021, you’ve landed in the right spot. That’s right. We took a scroll through the feeds of some of our favourite fashion follows to uncover modern looks that are simple yet incredibly forward. While you'll definitely notice trendy elements in each, the common thread throughout is that they’re primarily made up of those tried-and-true classic pieces. You know what we’re talking about—those timeless pieces (sometimes with a modern twist) that just never go out of style.
Ahead you’ll find the chic ensembles in question featuring items like sleek blazers, always-stylish denim cuts, basic knits, and more. You’ll also notice a slew of inspired shopping picks that could be of interest as well. Keep scrolling for more, you may just find a new go-to look to mix into your 2021 rotation.
A crewneck sweater styled over a white tee is effortless with a black coat. Mix in black trousers (or a trendy faux-leather style like this), loafers, and you're set.
A white button-down shirt is about as classic as it gets. Go for an oversized silhouette (maybe even try a men's version), button just a few buttons, and let it flow with loose trousers.
A tracksuit is basically a go-to for many these days. Toss a classic blazer on top or an of-the-moment slouchy style for an effortless vibe.
You can't go wrong with a turtleneck and jeans. Incorporating a chic long coat amps up the look even more.
Keep it sophisticated with a blazer and pleated skirt duo.
A black dress and sneaker combo is simple yet always chic—especially with a vibrant sweater around the shoulders.
Wear your favourite crewneck sweater with a blazer and jeans for a polished yet low-key vibe.
