I'm feeling this one so much – it's giving me that perfect blend of laid back confidence with a total boss attitude! The distressed boyfriend jeans with that casual drawstring waist are absolutely everything, especially paired with that gorgeous black and white buffalo plaid shirt. When you tie that shirt at the waist? Pure magic!
Let's talk about these amazing pieces:
Trust me, this outfit is your go to for those creative office days, weekend brunches, or casual client meetings. I've worn similar looks for coffee shop work sessions and always get compliments! It works perfectly for spring through fall, and you can easily winterize it with some thermal layers.
Here's what I've learned from styling this type of look:
You can totally recreate this look on any budget! The plaid shirt and distressed jeans are easy to find at various price points. I'd recommend investing in those ankle boots since they'll be your workhorses, but the rest can be mixed and matched with budget friendly alternatives.
What I adore about this ensemble is how it doesn't sacrifice comfort for style. The boyfriend jeans allow for movement, the boots are sturdy yet stylish, and the backpack is perfect for carrying all your essentials while keeping your hands free. For extra comfort, I'd suggest wearing no show socks with the boots and maybe adding a soft cami under the plaid shirt.
To keep this look fresh:
This outfit has serious staying power! You can dress it up with heels and a blazer or go super casual with sneakers. It's the kind of look that works for so many body types and can be adjusted to fit your personal style journey. I've seen this basic formula work wonders for everyone from creative professionals to busy moms!
I need those boots in my life! The chunky heel looks so comfortable for walking around all day
Would this work with a cream plaid instead of black and white? I have one I'm trying to style
I'm definitely copying this outfit for my remote work days. Comfortable but still put together enough for video calls
You could totally dress this up with some statement earrings and heeled boots for dinner
I've been looking for boyfriend jeans like these forever! Any suggestions on where to find them?
I'm wondering if white sneakers would work instead of the boots for a more casual weekend feel?
Anyone else thinking about how great this would look with a leather jacket thrown over it when it gets chilly?
The silver watch really elevates the casual elements. I might add some matching silver rings too
I'd probably swap the backpack for a leather tote when meeting clients, but otherwise this outfit is absolute perfection
Does anyone know where I can find a similar backpack? The sunglasses detail is so cute!
What I love most about this look is how practical it is. I'm always running around the city and this outfit would keep me comfortable all day
I actually have these same jeans and never thought to pair them with a plaid shirt. Thanks for the inspo! Going to try this tomorrow
Would you wear this to a casual office? I'm thinking about recreating it for my startup job
I'm obsessed with how the magenta lipstick adds such a bold pop of color to this black and white ensemble. Really makes the whole look come alive!
Has anyone tried styling the plaid shirt with leather pants instead? I feel like that would be such a cool alternative for evening drinks
I absolutely love how the plaid shirt can be worn tied or untied. I usually start with it untied and then tie it later in the day when I want to switch up my look
