10 Rules for Effortless, Everyday Style

In this series, I share some simple tips for leveling up your daily looks.

Whether I’m looking for a great pair of trousers or the perfect dress, Reformation is one of those brands that is always top of mind. Their pieces are fashion-forward, vintage-inspired and made with premium materials meant to be worn over and over again. Even better, their products are all carbon neutral, and they are working towards being Climate Positive by 2025.

In this post I put together two looks with some wardrobe essentials — button up, trousers, sandals + dress — that hit both sides of my style personality…

LOOK 1: Minimalist, neutral and masculine-inspired
I’d wear this literally any day, for pretty much any event! To the office, on a date, out with friends — when you’re working with classics, you can’t go wrong. The shirt, trousers and sandals work perfectly together, and also make excellent capsule wardrobe pieces thanks to their versatility.

Size tips: The top is oversized, so I sized down. I have the petite length of the pants (I’m 5’4″) and went with my bigger size, which is a size up from what I wear in the similar Mason pants I have from Reformation. Sandals are TTS and comfortable for all day wear.

LOOK 2: airy, feminine and a little sexy
Reformation is always my top recommendation when you ask about where to find the perfect dress for a special event. I’d wear this to a wedding, I’d wear this dress and sandals together for an easy everyday look. I’d also wear it on a date, to a wedding, or even wear it super casually with sneakers and a denim jacket. I love the fit, the color/pattern, and that slit, which is a signature for so many of their dresses.

Size tips: I went with the same size in the dress as I did for the pants — I love that it has a little stretchy panel at the back so I can move and breathe and be comfortable all day (or night).  Sandals are TTS and comfortable for all day wear.
