A Summer of "Go-To" Options

What are your “go-to” outfits this summer? I think of these as the outfits that I wear most often. When you are in a morning rush and looking to get dressed quick, what outfit do you throw on knowing that you will be comfortable and look good?

Versatility matters now… maybe more than ever! One thing most of us are looking for this summer is comfort! We’re still spending a lot of our time in loungewear, staying close to home. We need the clothes we purchase to be comfortable and cozy for home and easily dressed up for when we eventually get up and go out! Versatility is key to this shift!

I find that I want to get out of my sweats and into an “outfit” each day. This helps my mindset and my energy. To help make this easy for me, I have a handful of “go-to” outfits that get me through the week. These outfits are a collection of neutral colors and prints that easily pair in my wardrobe. Most of these are items that i’ve accumulated over the years. I’ve gotten comfortable in these clothes so I can rely on them to look good and meet the comfort criteria.

What else should you look for in the right “go-to” pieces? In order to feel comfortable in your clothes, they have to FIT you. This requires that the style of clothing you choose match your body type. Being aware of the types of clothing that will fit you best, will help you to make the best choices when purchasing new clothes. Also consider what colors look best on your complexion. What color combinations will work well in our wardrobe? This will help you to mix and match pieces.

Below are a few of my favorite go to outfits. Many of these items are still available online. Each of these outfits is simple enough to wear at home or out running errands but could also be dressed up for a slightly more social occasion. Go find the best “go-to” options for your closet!
