It sounds contradictory, but sometimes it's the simple (often called "boring") outfits that are the chicest. There's something about clean, minimalist outfits that I've always been drawn to because they always look expensive.

Think about it. Is there anything more effortlessly cool than a really good jeans-and–T-shirt outfit? Exactly.

If you take a look in my Instagram saved collections right now, you'll notice sea of white, black, brown, and various shades of beige. My entire feed seems to be flooded with outfits that you can easily re-create on a budget. The key is to stick with a totally neutral color palette, and your look is guaranteed to feel luxe.
