I think some of the best outfits are created when mixing two unexpected items. Honestly, if you just play around with pieces in your closet, I think you’ll surprise yourself.
This Jonathan Simkhai shimmer bustier top (lots of similar JS options linked in photos below) is asking to be paired with fancy white, black, brown or navy trousers and heels. I decided to go against my natural inclination and style it with something much more casual ( jeans and wedges) and Voila!
Fancy tops and jeans and dressy bottoms and casual knits or tee shirts usually end up looking great together. Since most days we aren’t looking to dress up, this formula makes dressy pieces much more wearable.
Guys, I love these Frame V yoke high rise jeans! I love that they’re 60% off even more! Frame denim is an ultra cool brand, but typically pricey. Right now they’re under $100. Eeeep!
I topped off my how to dress down a bustier top look with a Chloe Ethel bag and some Chloe platform wedges I’ve had for years. Chloe is relatively timeless with and edge, so their pieces are keepers. Poshmark sells a couple pair of my exact Chloe wedges. But here is a similar pair I own.
If you’re gonna invest in a solid pair of designer sunglasses I always suggest starting with Tom Ford or Chanel. My husband surprised me with these Tom Ford Katrine square sunglasses. They are in constant rotation at my house!
Hopefully this How to dress down a bustier top has inspired you today to try something outside of the box. xo
