This Easy (Yet Chic) Outfit Combo Is Everywhere Right Now

Not sure what to wear right now? The season is showing the first signs of turning, and so your cute summer dresses are starting to take a backseat. Luckily, there’s a new outfit combo doing the rounds on Instagram, and chances are you already own it. Defined by a tank top (classic or the on-trend lace iteration) paired with very wide trousers — whether silk or structured denim — this contrast look reinvents another timeless duo: jeans and a nice top.

The trending combo

Silky, asymmetrical tops (preferably with long and/or asymmetrical hemlines) are cropping up all over the shop, with Zara’s style already selling out in multiple colourways. The contrast of dainty lace details teamed with relaxed, baggy trousers is a masterclass in polished yet comfy styling.

The classic version

Of course, if you’re looking more towards your existing wardrobe for outfit ideas, then you can simply swap out the lace trending top for a classic tank. We particularly recommend adding a matching belt with silver or gold hardware, and some of your favourite jewellery to elevate this look.
