Influencers are just like us, except they have the closets of our wildest dreams. It seems like any post or video made by today’s most popular influencers has their outfit details linked because someone is bound to ask where their cute shoes or sunglasses are from. In any case, influencers not only sell to us, but they also inspire us when it comes to everyday outfits.
If you follow a lot of influencers on social media, you’ll know that their “everyday out and about” outfits are totally on point. They have mastered cool, casual looks that look elevated, but not like they tried too hard. For people who are not influencers, this can be harder to pull off than it seems! Luckily, there are a few general guidelines you can look to if you’re having a hard time putting an influencer-inspired outfit together. Here’s what you need to know about styling everyday outfits like your favorite influencers.
Go for an Athleisure Look: One of the easiest (and most comfortable) ways to pull off an influencer-like outfit is to dive full force into athleisure, which is a mix of fashionable pieces and loungewear or athleticwear. Athleisure gives off instant cool vibes and, if done correctly, can make your entire look seem easy and effortless. To get this look, start with a great pair of leggings, bike shorts, joggers or sweatpants. Choose a top that is less sports bra and more soft or casual, like a stretchy tank or cotton crop top. Remember that accessories are super important when styling an athleisure look! This is what takes the outfit to the next level. If you’re wearing a baseball cap, go for a pair of shiny hoops and big sunglasses to get those influencer vibes. Switch your smartwatch out for your nicer one and add a few rings or bracelets for more sparkle.
Add a Hat: Hats are another game changer when it comes to styling outfits like an influencer. While athleisure-inspired outfits look great with a baseball cap or beanie, consider upgrading your nicer everyday outfits with a women’s dress hat. With so many neutral and bold options available, it’s easy to find something you love and will wear often. Add your chosen hat (wide-brim felt hats are a favorite among influencers!) to your outfit during any season by pairing them with jeans, cotton shorts or even a casual dress.
Try a Bold Jumpsuit: Is there anything easier than an all in one outfit? Jumpsuits are great for when you want a cohesive look or you simply don’t have the time to curate a multi-piece ensemble. If you’re looking at jumpsuits for women online or in retail stores, remember that you’ll probably be more comfortable in a soft and easy-moving jumpsuit for everyday wear. Try a jumpsuit made from cotton, jersey or linen for your influencer-inspired look. They look effortless and they’re also great for travel!
Splurge on a Designer Accessory: Influencers are notorious for wearing designer brands in a not-so-subtle way. It can be a lot of fun to rock a pair of designer sneakers, sunglasses or a luxurious bag because it instantly makes you feel like a million bucks. You definitely don’t have to spend that much to get this look! Instead, check out certified designer resale sites and see what great finds you can snag for a lower price. Pair your new designer accessory with a monochromatic or neutral outfit to let it shine and make a statement all on its own.
Bring on the Boots: Second to upscale sneakers, boots are a must for anyone looking to create an influencer-inspired outfit. You can count on a pair of cute boots to take any outfit to the next level. Whether you’re planning to wear a distressed pair of jeans, a flowy dress or a mini skirt and crop top, a great pair of boots are always the right decision. Since boot cut jeans are making a comeback, consider wearing a cute pair of booties with your jeans to show them off. Denim shorts are best paired with motorcycle or combat boots for an edgy influencer look, while softer, more feminine boots create a cottage core influencer outfit when paired with a flowy cotton dress.
Upgrade Your Basics: If you’re trying to stick to more simple everyday outfits, try to concentrate on making your basics great. They’re the building blocks of a fantastic outfit, so if your entire outfit is made up of these, then you can’t lose. Many influencers layer basics like solid-colored tanks or sweaters with a leather or denim jacket for a classic (and fabulous) look. You can’t go wrong with basics, so channel your inner influencer and wear a few of these at once!
