Lazy Dressing Is In—30 Easy Outfits That Look Hard But Require Zero Effort

As someone with a proclivity for laziness, I’ve been forced to take up certain habits designed to force productivity. A strict 5 a.m. alarm and 11 p.m. bedtime, pre-scheduled writing times, and meticulously crafted outfit mood boards are essential to my getting things done. And for the most part, these practiced methods work wonders. But sometimes, specifically when sartorial inspiration runs dry, even my most tried-and-true formulas fall short, making outfit creation feel exceptionally tough.

Fortunately, it’s become clear to me in recent months that lazy dressing is having a moment. Whereas maximalism once reigned supreme on the runways and the streets, fashion these days is more enamored with simple, chic outfits that require hardly any effort at all, be it a tailored blazer worn with dark-wash jeans or a slip dress styled under a cashmere sweater. In turn, the stress involved with putting together a well-balanced ensemble has become practically irrelevant. 

Below, find 30 outfits that were practically made for lazy dressers. Though, you wouldn’t know it by looking at them.
