I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get caught up in a ‘dry’ style period.

It could be because I’m going through a hard time or not feeling very inspired by my wardrobe, and when I go to assemble an outfit, my mind goes blank.

Being in a style rut or slump is very similar to being in a mental slump. You’re not motivated and don’t want to put more effort into creating an outfit than you must.

When I’m in both a mental and style rut, there are few things I want to wear other than leggings and a sweatshirt.

However, I want to look a little more stylish and presentable if I have plans. That’s when simple, reliable, yet stylish outfits come in handy. 

So, if you’re going through a fashion slump and need a few basic outfits to help carry you out of it, here are a few you can try.

A white t-shirt, jeans, and a fun bag

A t-shirt and jeans is another basic outfit combo you can throw on anytime. However, to make it a bit more fun, you need to be more detailed with your accessories. One of the best ways to do that is with a fun bag! Get out a tote with a fun, colorful print, or carry around a cute, chic, bright-colored purse.

You can take this look a step further and throw on some cute shoes and a belt to tie everything together. It’s an easy way to look nice and as if you put in more effort than you actually did.

A button-down with skinny jeans and nice shoes

This is a good look for nicer occasions, like brunch, coffee at a nice place, or wine night with friends.

Having a nice, neutral button-down shirt or blouse in your closet and pairing it with skinny jeans makes an excellent base for a chic outfit.

Throw on cute heels or trendy loafers, grab a simple clutch or purse, and you’re set!

A maxi dress and sweater

On a warmer day, there’s nothing like throwing on a maxi dress and letting it do all the talking. If you live in an area that gets nice, sunny, and warm in the spring and summertime, make sure to have a few great maxi dresses on hand. 

You can easily pair a printed or solid-colored maxi dress with a cute cardigan and some sandals or flats and be ready for a lovely spring day with hardly any effort.

A simple sweater and black dress pants

I love the sophisticated look of a cute, simple sweater and black dress pants. It’s a more casual form of formal outfit and perfect for so many occasions. This outfit looks awesome with cute minimalist silver or gold jewelry and a solid pair of comfortable shoes.

Again, getting stuck in a style slump can make you feel defeated. But having a solid wardrobe from which you can assemble these easy-going yet fashionable looks will help you get back in the style game.
