I Never Expected This Basic Summer Outfit to Start Trending, But I'm Glad It Is

I don’t know if it's a byproduct of being in my 30s, but now more than ever, I find myself gravitating towards simple outfits. While statement-making looks—particularly those found on the red carpet—are always fun to look at, when it comes to getting myself dressed, I'm into ensembles that require as minimal effort as possible whilst still looking cool, of course.

This might sound like a lot to ask for, but I've already found the solution. You need only scroll past a handful of images on your Instagram feed to see that oversized shirts are summer's breakout buy.

So if you'd like more time on your hands in the morning or are looking for a new off-duty look to carry you through your weekend plans, keep scrolling to discover precisely how to style an oversized shirt and shop any pieces you might need to re-create the outfits for yourself.
